Autodiscover is a system that allows your email client (such as MS Outlook) to configure your email address automatically, as opposed to configure all the server settings manually. In order to use Autodiscover, it has to be supported both by your hosting provider, $$BrandName$$, and by your mail client. Unfortunately not all mail clients support Autodiscover.
Activate Autodiscover in two steps
Step 1: Setup the following DNS records:
Add the standard CNAME records and SRV records of $$ BrandName $$ to the DNS settings of your domain name. That way you make Autodiscover technically possible.
Check the standard DNS-settings of $$BrandName$$
Step 2: Setup your basic mail
Autodiscover for Outlook for Windows:
Follow the normal setup procedure. Instead of going for ‘Manual setup or additional server types’ just fill in your Email Account information – your name, your email and your password. Your account will be configured automatically.
Autodiscover for Thunderbird:
Follow the normal setup procedure. In the ‘Mail Account Setup’ window, fill in your username and password only. You can bypass the ‘Manual Config’ step.
Autodiscover for Apple mail:
With Apple mail you can setup your basic mail via a pre-generated file.
For this, please refer to our guides for Apple Mail
