Description

Configuring MUAs is made much easier with support for automatic configuration. Mozilla's de-facto standard for this is quite widely used: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Thunderbird/Autoconfiguration

I'm currently manually maintaining one of these at https://autoconfig.ur.gs/.well-known/autoconfig/mail/config-v1.1.xml

There are DNS-based standards too, but I don't think they're as widely used.

We'll need a HTTP(S) listener for automatic TLS, activesync, webmail, etc, support too, so I don't think it's a big deal to add one.
