Description Bruno Léon 2011-10-19 19:13:03 UTC

Version:           4.7 (using KDE 4.7.2) 
OS:                Linux

Kmail autoconfiguration support has been implemented as reported in 250375.

However, it does not check for config-v1.1.xml files, which is needed if you are not in the ISP database.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Create a new account and setup the config for your domain, according to https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Thunderbird/Autoconfiguration

Actual Results:  
Kmail does not take the config-v1.1.xml into account.

Expected Results:  
Kmail should detect the config automatically based on the content of the config file.

account wizard uses it https://live.mozillamessaging.com/autoconfig/v1.1/
So It can configure account.
I close it

Comment 2 Bruno Léon 2011-10-20 15:50:45 UTC

Do you confirm it checks autoconfig.YOURDOMAIN/mail/config-v1.1.xml  ?

AFAIK it does not work with Kmail when it does with Thunderbird.
Not everybody can be in Mozilla ISP database, you need to be a big one.

Comment 3 Laurent Montel 2011-10-20 16:37:03 UTC

Why do you want to look at autoconfig.YOURDOMAIN/mail/config-v1.1.xml ?
we look at https://live.mozillamessaging.com/autoconfig/v1.1/Account
so why you want to look at this file ?
it's official directory.

and it works fine in accountwizard

Comment 4 Bruno Léon 2011-10-20 21:50:58 UTC

Because that is the work it is described to work on the page https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:Autoconfiguration

1 - tb-install-dir/isp/example.com.xml on the harddisk
2 - check for autoconfig.example.com
3 - look up of "example.com" in the ISPDB
4 - look up "MX example.com" in DNS, and for mx1.mail.hoster.com, look up "hoster.com" in the ISPDB
5 - try to guess (imap.example.com, smtp.example.com etc.)

You cannot assume that everybody will be present in Mozilla ISP database, especially if you are not a big ISP.

That feature would simply make it possible to easily deploy Kmail in a corporate environment for example.

Comment 5 Laurent Montel 2011-10-21 07:05:42 UTC

Reopen it

Comment 6 Laurent Montel 2011-10-21 11:57:01 UTC

Do you have a system to test it ?
I will implement it but I don't know how to test it.
