Hi,
has anybody omplement Autoconfig for Exchange,Thunderbird and Apple?
Cpanel has this Function and in Uservoice is this only "Under Review".

Hi Janko1000,
yes, but you need to use Horde's (or maybe Roundcube, I haven't used it myself) ActiveSync setup.
There's lots of info on setting up the eas and autodiscover sub-domains if you want to do it properly.
But to get all the Horde settings you'll need to add your email address to the Horde conf file under the admins section.

Line 35

/etc/psa-webmail/horde/horde/conf.php

$conf['auth']['admins'] = array('[email protected]');

You'll then have access to all the ActiveSync settings when you log in to Horde.
I hope that helps a bit.
Kind regards

Lloyd

Hi Lloyd,

thanks a lot but i think you missunderstood me
I want Autoconfig for Thunderbird and other Mailclients and not Sync.

With Autoconfig the Customer needs only the Email and the Passwort for the Mailclient.

Oh sorry you mentioned Exchange which uses ActiveSync and autodiscover, and then Thunderbird needs Autoconfig which you also mentioned.

Here's Hordes docs - http://wiki.horde.org/ActiveSync

And Mozilla's docs/requirments on AutoConfig - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Thunderbird/Autoconfiguration
AutoConfig file example - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Thunderbird/Autoconfiguration/FileFormat/HowTo

I haven't implemented AutoConfig but it looks pretty straight forward.
Typically they don't support SRV records yet
Hope that helps a bit
Kind regards

Lloyd
