yum --enablerepo=smecontribs install smeserver-autodiscover
yum --enablerepo=smecontribs install smeserver-autodiscover

signal-event reboot
yum --enablerepo=smecontribs install smeserver-autodiscover

Configuration

Client Side

Mozilla compatible products

Thunderbird, Evolution and any software compatible with the Mozilla Thunderbird .well-known/autoconfig/mail/config-v1.1.xml config file will work by just filling your email and password.

Outlook before 2016

Will also work out of the box by just filling your email and password.


Outlook 2016

Out of the box, it does not support IMAP POP3 and SMTP autodiscover, but only exchange type server. There are two methods you can use to workaround that. First is using the old style outlook profile configurator

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\OLCFG.EXE

then button email accounts or

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\OLCFG.EXE

then button email accounts

Second would be to force Outlook to use old detection configuration by manipulating Registry, as a priviledged user run in a windows shell:

reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\setup /T REG_DWORD /F /V DisableOffice365SimplifiedAccountCreation /D 1"
Outlook 2019

Out of the box, it does not support IMAP POP3 and SMTP autodiscover, but only exchange type server. You will need to enable old Outlook 2016 accounts. see : https://wiki.contribs.org/Email#Outlook_365_.2F_Outlook_2019_IMAP_Configuration

alternatively the Outlook 2016 should work

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Office19\OLCFG.EXE

then button email accounts or

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office19\OLCFG.EXE

then button email accounts

Second would be to force Outlook to use old detection configuration by manipulating Registry, as a priviledged user run in a windows shell:

reg add HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Office\19.0\Outlook\setup /T REG_DWORD /F /V DisableOffice365SimplifiedAccountCreation /D 1"
Outlook 365

Need testing,, does not support IMAP POP3 and SMTP autodiscover. Only exchange type server.

Outlook for Android

Need testing, but mostly work as Outlook 365.
