Could you clarify what you mean? TB for Android generally does autodiscovery when setting up an account. There are a few issues on this issue tracker that cover certain aspects.

Hi, friend

It's a feature we and many were anxious for. Autodiscover for IMAP. AFAIK it would use same autodiscover method as Thunderbird.

I tested it and it doesn't work on our ISP. On TB for Desktop it works, autodiscovers the account.

I read somewhere it's still being developed, no?

Thanks a lot!

Can you provide more details on your ISP? Does it use the standard autoconfig database, or does it provide its own configuration? The only issue I am aware of is 8158, and one we recently fixed. You can also try Thunderbird for Android Beta. You mentioned you are using version 5, is this K-9 Mail 5.xxx ?

Friend,

Thanks! Do you use autodiscover too ?

Do you use autodiscover too ?

Yes. Thunderbird on Android uses autodiscover.

Please answer:

• What ISP do you use?
• What version of Thunderbird on Android do you use? Write the number from the settings screen. Do not just write "latest".
