How to get Autoconfigure to work?

None of the domains hosted on my box ever detected the mail server settings on android or windows (mail app & outlook) I had added cname autoconfig.mydomain.tld and autodiscover.mydomain.tld pointing to box.rctngl.xyz but that still doesn’t detect automatically and I have to manually add the IMAP and SMTP server settings.

Am I missing something?

DNS is managed by the box.

afaik autoconfigure only works with ActiveSync (z-push?)

At the very least, every mail client uses different autoconfig’s / autodiscovery’s, example: thunderbird and outlook use different autoconfigs

Try reading https://web.archive.org/web/20150817115525/http://moens.ch:80/2012/05/31/providing-email-client-autoconfiguration-information/

it’s old, but should be relevant here. Have you tried outlook in activesync mode for the autodiscovery?

Yes, It would just never sync any mails and keep on disconnecting my connection!

RE: Outlook,

2016 is not compatible with the MIAB z-push version AFAIK, you may need Outlook 2013 or less.

Seems like the Windows 10 mail app (which comes bundled) is also incompatible with autoconfigure.
