**(174) Is auto discovery supported?**
Yes, multiple methods of auto discovery are available.
The preferred and simplest and fastest method is using DNS records,
please see see [RFC6186](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6186) and [RFC8314](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8314) for the details.
Example DNS records (SRV=record type, 0=priority, 1=weight, 993/587=port number):
```
_imaps._tcp SRV 0 1 993 imap.example.com.
_submission._tcp SRV 0 1 587 smtp.example.com.
```
[Mozilla's autoconfiguration](https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:Autoconfiguration) is supported too,
but only if the configuration file is accessible via a secure (https) connection.
FairEmail will also check the [MX record](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MX_record) and if common email ports (143/993, 465/587) are open.
There is no auto discovery for POP3.
