JavaMail's address parser is telling you something very important here: You may only use normal printable ASCII characters on the left side of the @ sign in an email address. Check out RFC 5322 for the ABNF for valid email addresses:

addr-spec       =   local-part "@" domain

local-part      =   dot-atom / quoted-string / obs-local-part

dot-atom        =   [CFWS] dot-atom-text [CFWS]

dot-atom-text   =   1*atext *("." 1*atext)

atext           =   ALPHA / DIGIT /    ; Printable US-ASCII
                    "!" / "#" /        ;  characters not including
                    "$" / "%" /        ;  specials.  Used for atoms.
                    "&" / "'" /
                    "*" / "+" /
                    "-" / "/" /
                    "=" / "?" /
                    "^" / "_" /
                    "`" / "{" /
                    "|" / "}" /
                    "~"

quoted-string   =   [CFWS]
                    DQUOTE *([FWS] qcontent) [FWS] DQUOTE
                    [CFWS]

qcontent        =   qtext / quoted-pair

quoted-pair     =   ("\" (VCHAR / WSP)) / obs-qp

qtext           =   %d33 /             ; Printable US-ASCII
                    %d35-91 /          ;  characters not including
                    %d93-126 /         ;  "\" or the quote character
                    obs-qtext

Make sure that the address is correct before you go any further.
