Guys,

This would be excellent if it can be implemented easily in Plesk. The point of having a control panel is to make the experience simple and easy for customers that we serve. As hosters, it will take time to not only explain configuration settings to customers, but it is a tedious time consuming task that should be simple for both the customer and host.

Please add this to the next plesk update. Highly appreciate it!!

autodiscover is a great feature an saves a lot of time!

yes please plesk developer tema should implement it...

Automx looks like the way to go?!

please insert it to onyx

Plesk/Onyx Team, could you implement this feature for future releases..?

Hi there,

autodiscover is helpful for Thunderbird, Outlook and Apple mail. There is a tool available which helps to achive these features: https://automx.org/en/

Using this tool, you can autoconfigure mail clients for plesk. If your plesk server (hosting the e-mail service) is installed at [anysubdomain.]mydomain.com, use the following steps to use the tool:

1) Create the subdomains autodiscover.mydomain.com and autoconfig.mydomain.com and make sure that automx is working for these two subdomains (according to the instructions of automx, e.g., install the required modules etc.). This also includes the following additional instructions for Apache (both HTTP and HTTPS as well as for autodiscover.mydomain.com and autoconfig.mydomain.com (the last two lines are optional):

ServerAlias autoconfig.*
<IfModule mod_wsgi.c>
WSGIScriptAliasMatch \
(?i)^/.+/(autodiscover|config-v1.1).xml \
/usr/local/lib/automx/automx_wsgi.py
<Directory "/usr/local/lib/automx">
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</IfModule>

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^$ https://www.mydomain.com/ [R=301,L]

2) Make sure to install & activate SSL certificates for both subdomains.

3) Make sure that the DNS server resolves both subdomains.

4) Edit the default DNS template and add CNAME entries from autoconfig.<domain> to autoconfig.mydomain.com and from autodiscover.<domain> to autodiscover.domain.com.

5) Apply the DNS template to all existing domains in Plesk.

6) Set up an approriate automx.conf file, e.g.,:

[automx]
provider = <your name>
domains = *

[DEFAULT]
account_type = email
account_name = %s (via Your Providername)
account_name_short = %s
display_name = %s

[global]
backend = static
action = settings

smtp = yes
smtp_server = <your-smtp-server-name>
smtp_port = 587
smtp_encryption = starttls
smtp_auth = encrypted
smtp_auth_identity = %s

imap = yes
imap_server = <your-imap-server-name>
imap_port = 993
imap_encryption = auto
imap_auth = encrypted
imap_auth_identity = %s

pop = yes
pop_server = <your-pop-server-name>
pop_port = 995
pop_encryption = auto
pop_auth = encrypted
pop_auth_identity = %s

Now requests to autoconfig.customerdomain.com should be redirected to autoconfig.mydomain.com and automx should server the required settings to the clients.

As a conclusion: with the work of a few hours, this could be enabled for all Plesk customers!

I also need this feature

please add this feature

This is pretty much top of the request list for us.

this is definitely required as it currently causes issues with customers

Many modern e-mail clients such as Thunderbird, Apple Mail and Outlook 2016 are looking for a file for the e-mail server settings when adding a new account. It would be nice if Plesk creates such files (like htto://domain.ltd/autodiscover/autodiscovery.xml)

Just adding a 'me too' here. Ideally, if it is possible for end user mail client to auto discover the mail server address (mail.domain.tld / pop.domain.tld / smtp.domain.tld etc.) and the correct port numbers, depending on SSL vs non. In my case, POP and SMTP are server from the same URL (mail.mydomain.com), and using SSL (ports 995 / 587). Given the differences in config. screens for various mail clients, it is very time consuming to maintain 'how to' information for clients, who are frequently non-technical users, and need to configure this info on both desktop and mobile devices.

Postfix - autodiscover! YES, YES, YES.......

please add this feature...

This would be a very useful feature, may also help to be able to have default settings for the server as a whole, that could be overridden on a domain/domain basis. IE: in my case I have the ssl cert for the server set for a specific host name, and would be nice to set the auto discover for each domain to use that domain, but also allow the client to override the default settings if their specific situation required.

I think the whole world wants this.

I agree. This is an critical feature to reduce client email configuration support requests.

do we have any news on this..?

i also need this urgently... ;)
