Hi, thanks for your interest in the project. Basic TL;DR would be: serve those files where the email client will look for them with a PHP server + some DNS configs. I'll detail a little bit on every email client. For sake of clarity, I'll say the email domain for which we want to setup autoconfiguration is ThunderbirdAn So: you'll have to be able to serve things at the subdomain OutlookThings get little bit difficult here: there's a POST instead of a GET request + the domain can be configured. To specify the domain where you'll serve the autoconfig file you need to create the DNS entry specified in the guide in the main domain. You can use Then the DNS record to create is
After that, a POST request to As you can see in the README, there's a link to a Microsoft tool so you can check if the request and response is working as expected. iOS / macOs Email clientThe iOS / macOs email client has no autoconfig protocol (probably wrong here :S didn't spend much time on this ), so you'll have to provide the user a To do so our approach is to give the user a link to a For instance, if we serve that from the server at Also, check the links regarding the sources of the doc at the end of the README, that's where we extracted all the info. Hope to have helped! |

Hi David,
Thanks a lot for your kind response on my query.
I am actually looking for iOS and Mac.
To do so our approach is to give the user a link to a .mobileconfig file
with the email settings for a specific user. To do so, what we've done is a
script that based on the ?email= GET query param you will get a
.mobileconfig for that email address. You can serve that file where you
want, and then send that to the user so they can install the settings in
their computer.
I still didn't understand how to generate that config file for each email
address. I understood that I have to send the file manually to the user or
I have to provide a link from where the user can download his configuration
file. I am absolutely fine to do that.
But still not understanding how to create that .mobileconfig file for a
user.
Please help.
Best Regards.
Ved.

For iOS/macOS, you can grab the XML inside index.php at the
email.mobileconfig dir and replace the email part for every user you want
the config to. For this to be dynamic, we thought to serve it along with
the other autoconfigs so that the file can be autogenerated based on the
email query param.

I am not affiliated with the creator of this repository. When I upload the file "index.php" from GitHub to my webserver at "/email.mobileconfig/index.php", the profile file is generated automatically when I enter the URL : "https://my_domain/email.mobileconfig?email=my_emailaddress". |
Could you please explain how to use these files to generate auto-config script for particular domain and email address for any mail client application.
I have read your description but didn't understand how can we generate the config script using these files.
Please help.
Best Regards.
