email: autoconfig for autoconfiguration (example: via thunderbird)

@girish said in email: autoconfig for autoconfiguration (example: via thunderbird):

curl -v https://domain.com/.well-known/autoconfig/mail/config-v1.1.xml

That seems to have done the trick. Thanks!

@hakunamatata Ah, I had put that "note" in https://docs.cloudron.io/domains/#matrix-server-location but forgot to put the same note for email configuration. Will do so, thanks.

I realize this is an old thread, but is the autodiscover meant to "just work" for thunderbird ? I just tried it and it "failed to find the settings for your email account"
This was over the LAN. I just tried it over the internet, withthe same result.
I also ran the curl command on both clients, and it reported "not found" no such route.
I clicked the sync DNS, and waited for a while and tried again with the same result.

Is the main domain (for example domain.com, when your Cloudron runs on my.domain.com) pointing to your Cloudron also and is served up correctly?

See https://docs.cloudron.io/email/#autodiscover

I quickly re-tested this in my thunderbird. As @nebulon said, you must have an app in the email domain for this to work.

oh that might be my problem, none of my apps are in the bare domain. I'll add one and retest

EDIT: Tests fine now, thanks!
