The autodiscover functionality works as follows:
- Enter you mailbox name like <username>@<domainname> (john@example.com)
- Enter username and/or domainname.
- Press “Perform autodiscovery”
- The add-on will now try to access the following URLs to find the autodiscover settings:
-
- https://<domainname>/autodiscover/autodiscover.svc
- https://autodiscover.<domainname>/autodiscover/autodiscover.svc
- http://autodiscover.<domainname>/autodiscover/autodiscover.svc
-
- https://<domainname>/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml
- https://autodiscover.<domainname>/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml
- http://autodiscover.<domainname>/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml
- If the autodiscover is succesfull it will show the right EWS URL and display name.
- If something goes wrong the following errors will be shown
-
- “Hostname part of mailbox is not valid (john@example.com)”. This means the add-on could not connect to one of the previous specified URL based on the given mailbox name.
- Autodiscovery will not work in this case. Try to get the Server URL from or IT administration.
