a spin-off of bug 202729. There are quite a lot of *WithConversion used.
Besides, in many places, host names are assumed to be ASCII-only.

*WithConversion is basically on about assigning/appending a string of one type to a string of another type with lossy conversion.

This is most notable in the ns(A)String to ns(A)CString case as I understand it as we'll effectively do lossy UTF-16 to ASCII conversion. Which isn't good for l10n cases.

However the good news is that there's no longer any *WithConversion in mailnews/ so if we are doing lossy conversion it is explicit.

WRT the host names being ascii-only, I'm aware of that but what I'd really like to do is to find someone from the i18n community who would be willing to work with us on fixing these types of things up (I've just posted to mozilla.dev.i18n) - though we should really split that sort of thing out into separate bugs (is there one for hostname already?) and close this one.
There is e.g. bug 563172 for hostnames.

So what needs to be done here?
