How Thunderbird tries to autoconfig a new email account02.09.23

When you start to set up your email with Thunderbird, it first checks the below 3 URLs
to get an autodiscover email setup XML file.
This XML file can help to set up the email amount smoothly and quickly

``` apache2conf
/mail/config-v1.1.xml?emailaddress=info%40perege.com
/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml 
/.well-known/autoconfig/mail/config-v1.1.xml?emailaddress=info%40perege.com

```

```xml
