Make sure dns works (FQDN of SME is ok?) and install certificate of SME in any client. All works (for me).

If you can't get through the initial setup wizzard, go to control panel > email and create sme email account manually, then open Outlook 2016 (worksforme, Office Home & Business 2016)

Latest Outlook wizard is borked. Best way to setup is go to Control Panel / Mail (Microsoft Outlook 2016), then the setup can be done manually without the ?wizard?

sometimes, in the latest versions of W10 & Office2016, there is no more  " Control Panel / Mail "  :-(

From reading i understand the issue is to have new outlook detect correctly how to connect to the server to get emails?


Do outlook works like thunderbird and try to find a xml file on the server itself before trying to guess the settings ?


If yes after trying this recently i did found the creation of new accounts realy easy. Might worth testing.

Hi Jean-Philippe,

Yes, the problem is that the newest outlook doesn't allow to specify the account that is used on the mail server and set by default the email address (on SME, it's not the email but the login (without @domain.com)).

Do outlook works like thunderbird and try to find a xml file on the server itself before trying to guess the settings ?

Yes it is.
Have you create an autodiscover.xml ?

Not the one for outlook but the one for thunderbird.

With your issue i see two things:
- getting the autodiscover working
- allow login with full email for imap


There is already this bug there for the 2nd : https://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9865
I suggest you comment there and point to this thread as this change the nfr which was more aestetical to a way to fix a compatibility issue.

For the first one i saw this : https://github.com/gronke/email-autodiscover?files=1

Which might allow by hacking php code to remove the @domain for the username.

Need to test, as it seems from some sites that outlook 2016 does not respect anymore this xml syntax...

I was able to bypass the setup wizard and use the old mail setup for a new outlook account using the application OLCFG.EXE found in the same folder as outlook.exe

9.2 was EOL last year which is why the v9 forum is locked. Please don't ask for help apart from upgrade issues.

Your error is likely caused by this, and there is no real cure. Horde/PHP may fail too in due course.

Upgrade. Now.

Thank you ReetP

i understand you wont support 9.2 anymore but i need 1-2 weeks time to setup a new server with hardware.

that i found in the logs:

imap-login: Info: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=X.194.X.93, lip=192.168.x.x, TLS handshaking: SSL_accept() failed: error:1408A0C1:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_CLIENT_HELLO:no shared cipher


Will this maybe fix the issue until i have a new computer to setup V10 ?

ssl_protocols = !SSLv3
ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!ADH:!LOW:!EXP:!aNULL:+HIGH:+MEDIUM

at the moment i have:  HIGH:!SSLv2:!ADH:!aNULL:!MD5:!RC4

We don't support v9.x at all except for upgrade issues.

You have had more than a year to do this.
