Allow Outlook to autodiscover mail server configuration
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

T1113 is used by Mozilla Thunderbird, Evolution, KMail et Kontact.

Outlook and Exchange use their own format, called “autodiscover”.

Here, the client will posts a XML payload with information like the e-mail address.

Reference

Plan

We're going to treat autoconfig and autodiscover as dialects and use the same software (static files first, web services to customize reply afterwards). So both will be served by the code from rAUTOCONFIG.

Step 1. Publish a static file
Step 2. Write an intermediary universal format and translators to autoconfig and autodiscover
