UI for database mail account configuration data?

To clarify: automx2 works fine for older versions of Outlook which use
XML-based configuration data. I am lacking proper documentation about
the latest, JSON-based method, and I am unwilling to pay for membership
in the Microsoft developer program just to get access to that particular
information.

I have never heard of this particular mail app before and don't know if
it even supports any form of autoconfig?

If by "more clients" you mean "additional autoconfig protocols": Which
ones do you have in mind? I can't think of any off the top of my
head. Generally speaking, I would ask the following questions, in no
particular order:

  1. Do I personally need the additional protocol?

  2. Is there a sufficiently wide user base that would benefit from me
     supporting the protocol?

  3. Is the full protocol specification readily available, free of
     charge?

  4. Do I have access to the devices and/or software necessary to test
     my implementation?

As I am sure you can understand, I don't plan to spend my own money on
getting access to specifications, soft- or hardware beyond what I need,
and my current use cases are already covered by Autodiscover and
Mobileconfig. That's why I mentioned sponsorship.
