Overview
This method allow an easy config for Thunderbird Client.
It's same method used by ISP: you just need to supply your name, password and e-mail.
It works by create a file in a very specific place: in a "mail" directory in same URL your domain is.
So if you have a www.mydomain.com site, create a mail directory there and publish this file under name config-v1.1.xml.
Verify you can read this file using a browser and the url: www.mydomain.com/mail/config-v1.1.xml.
Config file sample
This config below allow ONLY use of IMAP and SMTPs for all user using the autoconfig.

In above sample you need to change all mail.linuxfacil.net strings with your own server.
You should change all linuxfacil.net references to your own domain.
I have configurated the smtp and imap on SME server using same hostname: mail.linuxfacil.net
