It depends on your outlook version.Outlook 2007 and 2010 support only  
true exchange (which horde does NOT) and of course IMAP and POP. This  
modification adds autodiscover for Outlook to use IMAP if available,  
otherwise POP.

In addition, Outlook 2013 supports native "Exchange ActiveSync" (EAS)  
connections, it is able to act as an active sync client like a  
smortphone does. This includes email, contancts, calendars and tasks.
The autodiscover service of Outlook 2013 is performed in two stages:  
it queries the existing mobilesync response schema to get an EAS  
setup. Additionaly it queries the classical exchange schema I proposed  
in this ticket to autodiscover the SMTP/POP/IMAP setup.
Native ActiveSync usage of Outlook 2013 works regarding the  
autodiscover feature, but unfortunately Outlook requieres EAS version  
14.x, and horde only provides version 12.1. This is the show stopper  
for Outtlook 2013+Horde currently.

According to micheal they requiere round about 40 hours to implement  
EAS version 14.
I'm willing to spend a part of the necessary hours to Horde LLC. Maybe  
you are one of these to spend the other hours.. :)

By the way: tine2.0 has oldready implemented a update to work with  
Outlook 2013 ( currently not released, only in their GIT repo), so it  
should also be possible for Horde

Best wishes,
Torben
