HELP!
I have installed sendmail, dovecot, and squirrel mail. The squirrel mail portion of it works just fine, but I would like to have Mozilla Thunderbird as a client. Whenever I try and connect to the server it says "Thunderbird failed to find the settings for your email account." We do have an MX record in DNS pointing to our server. We are using Ubuntu 12.0.4.1, and have Dovecot 2.2.6 sendmail version 8.14.4-2ubuntu2 We are doing this for a class project and it is due by Tuesday 10/16/2012..
This explains how to set up autoconfigure in TB. You need a DNS record and a little work on a webhost.
