nano /var/www/siddou.tk/.well-known/autoconfig/mail/config-v1.1.xml

<clientConfig version="1.0">

          <domain>siddou.tk</domain>
          <displayName>Siddou Mail server</displayName>
          <displayShortName>Sidd</displayShortName>
          <incomingServer type="imap">
                <hostname>imap.siddou.tk</hostname>
                <port>993</port>
                <socketType>SSL</socketType>
