I’ve been reading up a bit on how to automate, or at least simplify, configuration of email clients to connect to Nethserver. Unfortunately, there doesn’t appear to be any one standard–Thunderbird, Outlook, and iOS/Mac OSX Mail all use different methods to accomplish this.

Great! There were some community members interested in having this for their email client of choice (like No autodiscover, MailServer Configuration (autodiscover, SPF, DKIM)).
Having a clear and simple howto for Thunderbird is a good starting point, as there are many Thunderbird users here.
