Bug ID: 338237 Summary: Feature Request: Account Wizard Detect google apps by DNS query Product: kmail2 Version: 4.13.2 Platform: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: wishlist Priority: NOR Component: misc Assignee: kdepim-bugs@kde.org Reporter: k...@kthxbye.us Hi, I was trying to setup kmail for my google apps account on my own domain (you can use gmail with your own domain name) but the server details could not be retrieved. Technically the account details and servers are the same as for gmail.com, just the username is different (u...@yourdomain.com instead of u...@gmail.com). I worked around by entering details for a real gmail account and then change the user to my google apps domain username as I was too lazy to get all the config details from googles help pages. However it is easily detectable if a domain is using google apps by querying the mx dns records which are the same for all google apps accounts and look like this: pete@lokalhorst:~$ nslookup -query=mx kthxbye.us Server: 127.0.1.1 Address: 127.0.1.1#53 Non-authoritative answer: kthxbye.us mail exchanger = 20 alt1.aspmx.l.google.com. kthxbye.us mail exchanger = 10 aspmx.l.google.com. kthxbye.us mail exchanger = 30 aspmx4.googlemail.com. kthxbye.us mail exchanger = 20 alt2.aspmx.l.google.com. kthxbye.us mail exchanger = 30 aspmx5.googlemail.com. kthxbye.us mail exchanger = 30 aspmx3.googlemail.com. kthxbye.us mail exchanger = 30 aspmx2.googlemail.com. Authoritative answers can be found from: aspmx.l.google.com internet address = 74.125.136.27 alt2.aspmx.l.google.com internet address = 173.194.64.26 aspmx3.googlemail.com internet address = 173.194.64.27 aspmx2.googlemail.com internet address = 74.125.25.26 With these details the standard config for gmail could be pre-selected for the account config in the wizard. This is not really a big deal but it would be nice to see the config magically appearing after entering a google apps mail address. Keep up the great work. By the way, I couldn't select 4.13.3 as version number which is shipped with Kubuntu 14.04.
