    Ok that sounds pretty nice, but what i have to change in DNS or so if the plesk server isnt my DNS Server.

    Do i have to make subdomains like autodiscover.domain.tld and autoconfig.domain.tld and give them a A-Record to my Plesk Server, or how that all work?

    Hi Alexander, should work right away after you enable it basically, because Outlook and Thunderbird do requests to URLs like https://<domain>/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml and  https://<domain>/mail/config-v1.1.xml?emailaddress=<address. Means you don't need record autodiscover.domain.tld, you just need your A record for domain.tld
