What is Autodiscover?

Autodiscover is a feature that we have enabled for our mail service, that allows you to setup your e-mail account by only supplying your e-mail address and password.

Because the autodiscover feature is enabled, your e-mail client (such as Microsoft Outlook) should use your e-mail address and password to automatically detect the correct e-mail settings and complete the setup of your e-mail account, without you having to manually enter the rest of the settings.

If for any reason your settings are not automatically detected you will need to enter them manually, you can find your e-mail account settings under Mailboxes.
