A simple solution to provide email client autoconfiguration.
Tested with Thunderbird 115 for IMAP and SMTP only.

Setup an HTTPS server at https://autoconfig.example.com that point to your docker container.

Clone thsis repo:
git clone https://github.com/gabviv73/EmailAutoConfig.git` cd EmailAutoConfig` -
Copy docker-compose and customize env vars
cp docker-compose-production.yml docker-compose.yml vi docker-compose.yml -
Respect capitalization in env vars !

Start container
docker compose up -
Test the generated XML at https://autoconfig.example.com/mail/config-v1.1.xml?emailaddress=name.surname@example.com
