	This article explains a solution for autoconfiguration for a set of mail clients which can be configured against a mail system automatically by just entering email address and password. There are three widely used approaches to do this via a self hosted lookup method, based on Microsoft's autodiscover, [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Thunderbird/Autoconfiguration Mozilla's autoconfig], and iOS/MacOS provisioning which are relevant to support detecting IMAP and SMTP server details for client configuration. Another option is solely based on DNS SRV discovery ([https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6186 RFC 6186]).

	Since [[AppSuite:EM_Client_for_OX_App_Suite\|eMClient for OX App Suite]] is using the Microsoft based solution this service is especially important to have a smooth user experience for customer environments offering it to their users.		Autodiscover and autoconfig are based on XML schemas. Therefore for very simple deployments it might even be enough to serve some static XML files for both usecases. Please see the respective vendor standard documentation for more details.
