=== Auto-discover settings ===
Email clients such as Outlook and Thunderbird can use 'auto discover' techniques to get the server information automatically - this makes configuring email programs much easier. To enable this, your domain needs two extra DNS entries:
 
autoconfig CNAME autoconfig.mail.aa.net.uk.
autodiscover CNAME autoconfig.mail.aa.net.uk.
 
If they are not there already then you can add them, or ask Support staff for help. Once added, the imap/pop3/smtp settings should be retrieved during the setup process of adding a new email account to your email program.
