autodiscover.xml
Provides IMAP/SMTP Autodiscover capabilities on Microsoft Outlook/Apple Mail, Autoconfig capabilities for Thunderbird, and Configuration Profiles for iOS/Apple Mail.
Microsoft Outlook/Apple Mail
URL (POST XML): https://{{app_domain}}/Autodiscover/Autodiscover.xml
Create a SRV DNS Record:
| Service | Protocol | Value, Destination, Target | Port | Priority | Weight | TTL |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| _autodiscover | _tcp | {{app_domain}} | 443 | 5 | 0 | 3600 |
Test your Autodiscover configuration (Microsoft Outlook): https://testconnectivity.microsoft.com (Click on "Outlook Autodiscover")
Mozilla Thunderbird
URL (GET): https://{{app_domain}}/mail/config-v1.1.xml
Create a CNAME DNS Record:
| Name, Host, Alias | Value, Destination | TTL |
|---|---|---|
| autoconfig | {{app_domain}} | 3600 |
iOS / Apple Mail
URL (GET): https://{{app_domain}}/email.mobileconfig?email=EMAIL_ADDRESS
Redirect users to above URL and the MobileConfig Profile will be downloaded. The user will be instructed to install the profile to configure their email.
Notes
The above autoconfiguration methods assume the following:
- Username:
{{email}}(Entire email address) - Encryption: SSL/TLS
Workarounds
I only have one mail server with both IMAP and SMTP on the same machine (mail.mydomain.com).
Create CNAME DNS Records that alias imap/smtp to your machine, like so:
| Name, Host, Alias | Value, Destination | TTL |
|---|---|---|
| imap | mail.mydomain.com | 3600 |
| smtp | mail.mydomain.com | 3600 |
My settings are different or not compatible with these settings.
