In bug 1527236 a patch was landed that allowed TB to use % in its mailnews: URLs.

Once TB has reworked that area, the patch can be backed out:

The "temporary" fix is problematic when pushing the check for WHATWG forbidden domain code point deeper into the dependencies (all the way to the idna crate).

mkmelin, how feasible would it be to implement option 2 or 3 from bug 1527236 comment #27?

It should be feasible, but does require a fair bit of work.
We also do an annoying non-standards compliant re-escaping on the username. Should fix that at the same time: https://searchfox.org/comm-central/rev/0a3cadbb953e3caeda7f2d4a9b349a60d376ba25/mailnews/imap/src/nsImapUtils.cpp#65
