Autodiscovery does not lookup DNS records
-
I have email set up on a custom domain of mine, and have SRV records for IMAP and SMTP (among others) in my DNS service. These SRV records can be used to discover the correct email/calendar/etc settings for my domain, and many other clients (such as DAVx5 for Android) implement this. For example, an SRV record for configuring IMAP (through TLS) can look like
_imaps._tcp.example.com 3600 IN SRV 0 1 993 imap.email-provider.comWhen setting up email in Vivaldi's mail client, I noticed that it tries to query
.well-knownand theautoconfigsubdomain to look for a config XML file, but does not try to lookup these SRV records as far as I can tell. IMO the SRV records are easier to place, especially since it doesn't require storing a file somewhere, so I think Vivaldi should support this method of autodiscovery. -
@heavybell7007 There are two requests already in bug tracker:
VB-43329 "Mail: Use of MX record for detection of mail server hostname"
VB-36138 "Discovering mail provider configuration with SRV Record"I will ask if there is any progress.
Vivaldi Mail is still in β-state and all is in progress.

No progress on these at the moment. Hopefully soon -
