[Mail] Offer complete Autodiscover (Outlook)

[Jarod]

Hey,

Currently the Autodiscover is "kinda" half baked in Cloudron. It only offers "/.well-known/autoconfig/mail/config-v1.1.xml", which is a good start, but only works for "well made" E-Mail Clients like Thunderbird and it kinds. Normal clients don't check it.

For Outlook and Apple Mail

1. Add the following syntax to /Autodiscover/Autodiscover.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Autodiscover xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/autodiscover/responseschema/2006">
	<Response xmlns="{{schema}}">
		<User>
			<DisplayName>{{email}}</DisplayName>
		</User>

		<Account>
			<AccountType>email</AccountType>
			<Action>settings</Action>

			<Protocol>
				<Type>IMAP</Type>
				<TTL>1</TTL>

				<Server>{{imap.host}}</Server>
				<Port>{{imap.port}}</Port>

				<LoginName>{{email}}</LoginName>

				<DomainRequired>on</DomainRequired>
				<DomainName>{{domain}}</DomainName>

				<SPA>off</SPA>
				<SSL>on</SSL>
				<AuthRequired>on</AuthRequired>
			</Protocol>
		</Account>

		<Account>
			<AccountType>email</AccountType>
			<Action>settings</Action>

			<Protocol>
				<Type>SMTP</Type>
				<TTL>1</TTL>

				<Server>{{smtp.host}}</Server>
				<Port>{{smtp.port}}</Port>

				<LoginName>{{email}}</LoginName>

				<DomainRequired>on</DomainRequired>
				<DomainName>{{domain}}</DomainName>

				<SPA>off</SPA>
				<SSL>on</SSL>
				<AuthRequired>on</AuthRequired>
			</Protocol>
		</Account>
	</Response>
</Autodiscover>

2. Add the SRV Record to the DNS Setup

• service: _autodiscover
• Protocol: _tcp
• Value: [example.example]
• Port: 443
• Priority: 5
• Weight: 0
• TTL: 3600 (or whatever you like)

For iOS (kinda workaround, harder to realize then the above)

iOS is kinda shitty in it. Here is the best. You should add a button for every accessible mailbox to the cp for the users which redirects to the following part. This way, user can easily add the Mail with just one click.

/email.mobileconfig?email=EMAIL_ADDRESS

This file should have the following syntax

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

For the current implantation
The well known path is good. But you should also add the following CNAME Record to the domain.

• Name: autoconfig
• Value: [example.example]
• TTL: 3600 (or whatever)

I hope I could at least give some help.

Can't say no to expanded features!! I hope this can be implemented, it would be cool to see autodiscover and autoconfig working for Outlook and maybe even lesser known email clients.
