That's why I said most clients. Most clients are the various default app on phones and then probably Outlook or Windows Mail. Those should all work with auto discover.
It's not fool proof (they will always make better fools), but it takes away a lot of those issues. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Jones" <thatoneguyst...@gmail.com> To: af@afmug.com Sent: Wednesday, February 21, 2018 6:44:59 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Email Server Lmao, because autodiscover always works, and everybody wants imaps. This includes scanner copiers.. wait, nope. Grandmas old xp machine running her mail program noones ever heard of, nope. Oh wait, its the end users respinsibility to have devices that comply with the autodiscover configuration, and thats geek squads responsibility.

None of these are configuration problems, but will all take support time, even to tell them "No, go away" Do you actually tell people no though? I do, and it does signal that we expect our email users to be self-service and only contact us for issues with the tools we give them for self service. I also never mention we have an email service to any of our customers and discourage the ones that do see it thinking we'll be their email support, because we won't and I'm upfront about that. ~Seth </blockquote> </blockquote> </blockquote>
