Configure Outlook 2010 (Windows) in IMAP (email)
This guide explains how to connect the desktop app Outlook 2010 (desktop application on Windows) to an email address hosted by Infomaniak.
Preamble
- The various services offered by Infomaniak are all compatible with the corresponding standard protocols (IMAP/SMTP for email, for example). Therefore, if you encounter a problem with third-party software, contact its publisher or a Partner and consult the support policy as well as article 11.9 of the Infomaniak Terms of Service.
Add the email address to the application
Prerequisites
- Create the email address in my kSuite or a Mail Service / kSuite.
- Create a password for the email address on the device you are going to configure.
To configure the email application:
- Open the application.
- Click on Next:
- Click on Yes to configure a mail account.
- Click on Continue:
- Click on Configure manually.
- Click on Next:
- Click on the Internet E-mail button to connect to an IMAP server.

Recommended settings
- Incoming IMAP server =
mail.infomaniak.com - IMAP port =
993(with SSL) - Outgoing SMTP server =
mail.infomaniak.com - SMTP port & encryption protocol and command/method to enable this protocol:
587+ STARTTLS - Username = the full & complete email address ( ? )
- Password = the one generated for the email address you want to access
- Authentication required for sending emails:
- It is activated in the SMTP settings of your application.
- Check "use the same settings as the incoming server" or, depending on the software/email clients, enter a username (= full & complete email address) and the generated password.
Refer to this other guide if you are looking for information about other messaging ports and protocols compatible (SSL / TLS for example).
In case of problem
Check that the Mail Service is configured optimally.
It is not necessary to contact Infomaniak Support if your email address works well outside the application. The most common error concerns the use of an incorrect password. The troubleshooting guides help you resolve any potential issues:
- Be aware of the solutions provided in this other guide regarding email in general.
- This other guide is more specifically about Outlook.
… and if your Outlook no longer works since a change of email password, be aware of this other guide.
