**You do not need to change or create this file, autodiscover works out of the box**. This guide is only meant for customizations to the autodiscover or autoconfig process.

Newer Outlook clients (especially those delivered with O365) will not autodiscover mail profiles.
Keep in mind, that **ActiveSync should NOT be used with a desktop client**.

Open/create `data/web/inc/vars.local.inc.php` and add your changes to the configuration array.

Changes will be merged with "$autodiscover_config" in `data/web/inc/vars.inc.php`):

```
<?php
$autodiscover_config = array(
  // General autodiscover service type: "activesync" or "imap"
  // emClient uses autodiscover, but does not support ActiveSync. mailcow excludes emClient from ActiveSync.
  'autodiscoverType' => 'activesync',
  // If autodiscoverType => activesync, also use ActiveSync (EAS) for Outlook desktop clients (>= Outlook 2013 on Windows)
  // Outlook for Mac does not support ActiveSync
  'useEASforOutlook' => 'yes',
  // Please don't use STARTTLS-enabled service ports in the "port" variable.
  // The autodiscover service will always point to SMTPS and IMAPS (TLS-wrapped services).
  // The autoconfig service will additionally announce the STARTTLS-enabled ports, specified in the "tlsport" variable.
  'imap' => array(
    'server' => $mailcow_hostname,
    'port' => array_pop(explode(':', getenv('IMAPS_PORT'))),
    'tlsport' => array_pop(explode(':', getenv('IMAP_PORT'))),
  ),
  'pop3' => array(
    'server' => $mailcow_hostname,
    'port' => array_pop(explode(':', getenv('POPS_PORT'))),
    'tlsport' => array_pop(explode(':', getenv('POP_PORT'))),
  ),
  'smtp' => array(
    'server' => $mailcow_hostname,
    'port' => array_pop(explode(':', getenv('SMTPS_PORT'))),
    'tlsport' => array_pop(explode(':', getenv('SUBMISSION_PORT'))),
  ),
  'activesync' => array(
    'url' => 'https://'.$mailcow_hostname.($https_port == 443 ? '' : ':'.$https_port).'/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync',
  ),
  'caldav' => array(
    'server' => $mailcow_hostname,
    'port' => $https_port,
  ),
  'carddav' => array(
    'server' => $mailcow_hostname,
    'port' => $https_port,
  ),
);
```

To always use IMAP and SMTP instead of EAS, set `'autodiscoverType' => 'imap'`.

Disable ActiveSync for Outlook desktop clients by setting "useEASforOutlook" to "no".
