An autodiscovery service for clients in an electronic messaging system is disclosed. Client devices in the system request messaging system configuration settings from an autodiscover server. Clients may derive the address of the autodiscover server from user input, such as an email address, or the address may be obtained by other means. The autodiscover server responds to the request with settings for that client. The settings requested may include addresses of electronic mail servers and other servers that provide client services. The autodiscover server may determine the settings for the client based on various criteria, including client location and user mailbox location. Third party servers may participate in the autodiscovery service, and addresses of third party servers may be included in the settings provided to the client devices.
