domainshostingmailmail servermail server settings

Question

  • Why sections for automatic setup options of e-mail accounts are missing in Domains > example.com > Mail Accounts > Configure Mail Clients page
  • How to enable automatic configuration for mail when the following message is shown in Domains > example.com > Mail Accounts > Configure Mail Clients page: 

    Automatic configuration is not available on this server.

  • How to enable QR code option in Domains > example.com > Mail Accounts > Configure Mail Clients page?

Answer

A domain in Plesk must meet the following conditions in order to have the automatic mail setup options visible:

  • Mail Autodiscover is enabled in Tool & Settings > Mail Server Settings and in Domains > example.com > Mail > Mail Settings
  • Hosting type is set to Website Hosting

The differences between the setup options are the following:

  • Outlook, Gmail, or Thunderbird shows information for Mail Autodiscover setup by specifying mailbox name
  • iOS Mail shows a QR code and a link for Mail Autodiscover setup
  • Manual setup shows information to manually set up a mailbox in a mail client
