Apple Mail and IOS mail client's auto configuration

Good morning,


Does any kind of documentation exist, anywhere, of how Apple Mail and IOS does autodiscover (how they handle it) and which XML format does it require for non Exchange accounts to be autoconfigured (an IMAP account with SSL and SMTP SSL too?.


Best regards,

Good morning Eric,


Thank you so much for your answer. Básically the answer I'm trying to get is how to manage for autoconfigure Apple Mail and iOS Mail automatically with a not "so known" email provider such us Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail, like can be Sarenet (www.sarenet.es). I mean which kind of info should an XML or DNS SRV record contain in order to achieve this goal?. My answer requirement is far more specific that yours. Anyway thanks a lot as said before 🙂.


Regards,
