How It Works

Automatic email account configuration on all platforms

iOS / iPhone

Apple Mail application

Email Autoconfig generates a QR code containing a secure link to a .mobileconfig profile. When the user scans the QR code with an iPhone camera, iOS automatically recognizes the configuration and offers profile installation. After a simple confirmation in Settings, the email account is automatically set up in the Mail application with all necessary server settings (IMAP, SMTP, ports, SSL/TLS). The process takes less than a minute.

  • QR code is scanned with iPhone camera - automatic recognition
  • iOS automatically downloads the .mobileconfig profile from the server
  • User confirms installation in Settings (one click)
  • Email account is automatically added and ready for use

Android

Gmail and standard Email applications

Email Autoconfig generates a QR code that leads to an optimized web page with automatic setup. The page intelligently attempts to open the mail application (Gmail or standard Email app) with pre-filled settings. If automatic opening fails, the user receives detailed, step-by-step instructions for manual setup with all necessary server information (IMAP, SMTP, ports, SSL/TLS).

  • QR code is scanned with Android camera - instant access
  • An optimized web page with automatic setup opens
  • The system intelligently attempts to automatically open the mail application
  • Alternatively: detailed, step-by-step instructions for manual setup

Windows / Outlook

Microsoft Outlook application

Email Autoconfig generates a .prf file (Outlook Profile Configuration) that the user downloads directly from the server. After downloading, with a simple double-click on the .prf file, Outlook automatically configures the email account with all necessary settings. The file contains complete configuration with servers (IMAP, SMTP), ports, and security settings - no need for manual entry.

  • User selects Outlook option - simple and fast
  • Downloads .prf configuration file from secure server
  • Double-clicking the file, Outlook automatically configures the account
  • Email account is ready for use - no additional steps

Linux / Thunderbird

Mozilla Thunderbird email client

Email Autoconfig generates an XML configuration that contains all necessary information for Thunderbird. The user downloads the XML file and uses it for simple account setup in the Thunderbird application. The XML file contains complete configuration with server information (IMAP, SMTP), ports, and security settings - all in one place.

  • User selects Thunderbird option - support for Linux, Windows, macOS
  • Downloads XML configuration file with all necessary data
  • Uses file for simple setup in Thunderbird
  • Email account is configured with all necessary settings

macOS

Apple Mail application

Email Autoconfig generates a .mobileconfig profile identical to the iOS version. The user downloads the file directly from the server and with a simple double-click on the file, macOS automatically recognizes the configuration and offers profile installation. After quick installation in System Preferences, the email account is automatically added to the Mail application with all necessary settings.

  • User selects macOS option - support for all macOS versions
  • Downloads .mobileconfig profile file from secure server
  • Double-clicking the file, macOS automatically recognizes the configuration
  • Email account is automatically added to the Mail application - no manual entry
