automx makes setting up a mail account easy. All your users need to provide is real name, mail address and password. Their mail client and automx will safely handle the rest.
automx runs on your server and handles mail account profile requests from your mail clients. Put an end to endless phone calls trying to coach users to configure settings, whose dialogs they can't find. Stop wasting your time writing Tutorials nobody reads.
automx unifies Microsofts and Mozillas mail account provisioning standards in one powerful Open Source tool. Choose from many backends, including LDAP and SQL, and let automx create standard and individualized profiles for multiple domains on the fly!
You need to start Microsoft Outlook 2007 or higher, Thunderbird 3.0 or higher a recent versions of Evolution, KMail or Kontact or any Mail client that supports ActiveSync to test automated mail account provisioning.
Try different clients from the listing above! automx will serve them all. :-)
