Undo revision 1196393 by Dpa (talk) reverting per https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Thunderbird/Autoconfiguration$history?locale=en-US&origin=compare
#* This is only for intranet deployments, we won't be shipping any configs by default anymore, in favor of the following alternatives.
# Try to get the configuration from the email provider
## Try to contact http://autoconfig.<i>emailaddressdomain</i>/mail/config-v1.1.xml?emailaddress=<i>emailaddress</i> , e.g. http://autoconfig.example.com/mail/config-v1.1.xml?emailaddress=fred@example.com, as well as fallback http://example.com/.well-known/autoconfig/mail/config-v1.1.xml?emailaddress=<i>emailaddress</i>, and see whether that host/URL exists. The returned file must have the [[Thunderbird:Autoconfiguration:ConfigFileFormat|ConfigFileFormat]] as below.
## and/or (not yet implemented), define a DNS TXT record on domain example.net (for my.account@example.net) which contains an URL like e.g. https://www.example.net/mozilla.xml , which also returns this file format. A similar, but slightly different proposal is described in detail on [[Thunderbird:Autoconfiguration:DNSBasedLookup|DNSBasedLookup]].
## and/or (not yet implemented) use DNS SRV records _imap._tcp.example.com etc. (Problem: Doesn't provide username form etc..)
