My version is perhaps old, 3.22. I am glad to know that the latest version implement DNS lookup. I wanted to be sure that I did not forget a standard, and also wanted to check that the RFC was widely used. I will make sure to post in the right list next time.

Hi, which version of Evolution we are talking about, please? The 3.28.0+ does read SRV records and other stuff.

Already done and possible, in 3.28.0+. The "old" (and still used) autoconfig uses the information based on the domain part of the email, while this information is stored on a GNOME server.

AFAIK Evolution just queries api.gnome.org and does not implement RFC 6186. Some reasons are listed in https://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution/tree/src/mail/e-mail-autoconfig.c#n18 You might get better (and informed) answers by asking on https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers andre -- Andre Klapper | ak...@gmx.net http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper/ ___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list

I don't think Evolution ever got RFC6186 support. See discussion at https://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution/tree/src/mail/e-mail-autoconfig.c#n18 It might make a decent GSoC project. It would also be useful to delegate the various protocols' autodiscover mechanisms to the back ends, instead of having protocol-specific knowledge for EWS, ActiveSync, IMAP and other stuff hard-coded into Evolution itself. smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature ___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
Gnome evolution and RFC 6186
Hello all, I hope I am posting on the right mailing list. I am working on a project that installs an email server from scratch. I am setting up DNS records for email services automatic discovery (RFC 6186) but it seems that evolution is ignoring them. However, something is definitely working, as my domain is hosted on Gandi, and the automatic settings come back with Gandi IMAP/SMTP records, even if I don't use Gandi to host emails. What is the logic used by evolution to automatically discover email parameters? I have also implemented autoconfig, and it is working with Thunderbird. Thanks for your advices. -- https://github.com/progmaticltd/homebox ___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
