Hi Guys
I've got a domain here and an auto-config setup for Outlook whereby it goes to a website on the domain controller and downloads an xml looking like this:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' ?> <Autodiscover xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/autodiscover/responseschema/2006'> <Response xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/autodiscover/outlook/responseschema/2006a'> <User> <DisplayName>User Name</DisplayName> </User> <Account> <AccountType>email</AccountType> <Action>settings</Action> <Protocol> <Type>IMAP</Type> <Server>mail.host.com</Server> <Port>143</Port> <LoginName>user@host.com</LoginName> <DomainRequired>off</DomainRequired> <SPA>off</SPA> <SSL>off</SSL> <AuthRequired>on</AuthRequired> </Protocol> <Protocol> <Type>SMTP</Type> <Server>mail.host.com</Server> <Port>25</Port> <LoginName>user@host.com</LoginName> <DomainRequired>off</DomainRequired> <SPA>off</SPA> <SSL>off</SSL> <AuthRequired>on</AuthRequired> <UsePOPAuth>on</UsePOPAuth> <SMTPLast>on</SMTPLast> </Protocol> </Account> </Response> </Autodiscover>
As can be seen, we use IMAP here rather than exchange
Now, when I go to set up an account, outlook DOES configure most things presented in this XML, but there seems to be a bug in that while it knows and enables "My outgoing server(SMTP) requires authentication" checkbox, it DOESN'T then enable the relevant radio button that one would assume <UsePOPAuth> (== use the same settings as my incoming server) intends.. No radio button is checked, which means that mails do NOT send :/
Here's a pic:

Clik here to view.
So, alas, my auto-setup still requires the depeest level of manual interaction to set it up.. i.e. it's fairly useless. I'd say for sure this is a bug in outlook's auto config, but how to report it to microsoft?
