You also need to configure the corresponding DNS entries, usually a CNAME for autoconfig.example.com (where example is the mail TLD after the @) For Outlook / Office 365 it looks like this: Service: _autodiscover Protocol: ._tcp Port Number: 443 Host: mail.contoso.com Where mail.contoso.com is your Outlook server namespace. You also need an XML which looks like this: http://autoconfig.emailaddressdomain.example.com/mail/config-v1.1.xml?emailaddress=emailaddress <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <clientConfig version="1.1"> <emailProvider id="mailbox.org"> <domain>mailbox.org</domain> <displayName>mailbox.org -- damit Privates privat bleibt</displayName> <displayShortName>mailbox.org</displayShortName> <incomingServer type="imap"> <hostname>imap.mailbox.org</hostname> <port>993</port> <socketType>SSL</socketType> <authentication>password-cleartext</authentication> <username>%EMAILADDRESS%</username> </incomingServer> <incomingServer type="imap"> <hostname>imap.mailbox.org</hostname> <port>143</port> <socketType>STARTTLS</socketType> <authentication>password-cleartext</authentication> <username>%EMAILADDRESS%</username> </incomingServer> <incomingServer type="pop3"> <hostname>pop3.mailbox.org</hostname> <port>995</port> <socketType>SSL</socketType> <authentication>password-cleartext</authentication> <username>%EMAILADDRESS%</username> </incomingServer> <incomingServer type="pop3"> <hostname>pop3.mailbox.org</hostname> <port>110</port> <socketType>STARTTLS</socketType> <authentication>password-cleartext</authentication> <username>%EMAILADDRESS%</username> </incomingServer> <outgoingServer type="smtp"> <hostname>smtp.mailbox.org</hostname> <port>465</port> <socketType>SSL</socketType> <authentication>password-cleartext</authentication> <username>%EMAILADDRESS%</username> </outgoingServer> <outgoingServer type="smtp"> <hostname>smtp.mailbox.org</hostname> <port>587</port> <socketType>STARTTLS</socketType> <authentication>password-cleartext</authentication> <username>%EMAILADDRESS%</username> </outgoingServer> <documentation url="http://www.mailbox.org/"> <descr lang="de">FAQ und Support-Datenbank</descr> <descr lang="en">Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)</descr> </documentation> </emailProvider> </clientConfig> Locations of XML configuration where clients look for autodiscovery iRedMail The autoconfig component configured by iRedMail Easy supports URLs2: https://mail.host.com/mail/config-v1.1.xml https://mail.host.com/.well-known/autoconfig/mail/config-v1.1.xml https://autoconfig.host.com/mail/config-v1.1.xml (DNS A record of autoconfig.host.com must be pointed to IP of your mail server a.b.c.d.) https://autoconfig.host.com/.well-known/autoconfig/mail/config-v1.1.xml (DNS A record of autoconfig.host.com must be pointed to IP of your mail server a.b.c.d.)
