Automatic configuration

ProfiMail will attempt to automatically detect mail settings in this order:

  1. Mozilla autoconfiguration – settings stored on your mail server, or in Mozilla database.
  2. Detection by probing mail server and trying to log in, using provided email address and password.
    IMAP protocol is preferred over POP3 in auto-detection. See also IMAP vs POP3.
