AFAIK, there is no such option and why should there be? I'd suggest you
complain to web.de and get an RFC compliant email address. After all,
can you say with 100% certainty that email sent to this non compliant
address is actually properly transmitted by all Internet mail servers
and that everyone who might want to send you an email can do so (users
could be prevented from sending you email by their client programs or
their email servers)?

Nice, that we speak now from the same thing :-)
I know, that this is a RFC violation.
So my question was:
Is there a posibility to disable the RFC checking? Other programs allow
such mail addresses (for example outlook express / thunderbird etc.)

When you said there is a dot before the "@", i didn't take that to mean
_immediately_ before the "@". That is, indeed, a violation of RFC 2822,
which states:

An addr-spec is a specific Internet identifier that contains a
locally interpreted string followed by the at-sign character ("@",
ASCII value 64) followed by an Internet domain. The locally
interpreted string is either a quoted-string or a dot-atom. If the
string can be represented as a dot-atom (that is, it contains no
characters other than atext characters or "." surrounded by atext

Notice that while dots are allowed in the local part, they must have "atext"
on each side of them, where "atext" is one or more letters, digits, or
specific special characters. Seehttp://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2822.txt
