Set up Apple Mail (macOS) with IMAP profile (email)
This guide explains how to connect the desktop app Apple Mail (desktop application on macOS) to an email address hosted by Infomaniak.
Preamble
- Your macOS computer will be automatically configured using .mobileconfig configuration profiles compatible with Apple, unlike a manual configuration.
- It is possible to delete a configuration profile once installed (scroll to the bottom of this page for explanations).
- ⚠️ All the services offered by Infomaniak are compatible with the corresponding standard protocols (notably IMAP/SMTP for email, WebDAV for sharing, S3/Swift for storage, etc.).
- 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 and Conditions.
Install a configuration profile
Prerequisites
- Create the address within my kSuite or on a Mail Service (Mail Service alone, or existing within a kSuite).
- Test the email password (do not confuse it with the one used to log in to the Infomaniak interface).
- Check on the Service Mail that the automatic diagnosis is correct.
- Have added the email address in question to Mail Infomaniak to use the synchronization assistant and for the Apple profile to work on your devices.
You can download the profile from the relevant device or send it from another device (if you already have a working email address, for example):
- Click here to access the Infomaniak configuration tool (online service https://config.infomaniak.com) — log in if necessary to your Infomaniak account on the Organization managing your email address.
- Choose to install the profile on this device.
- Choose to synchronize the emails.
- Enter the password for the email address (attached to Mail Infomaniak (Webmail)) that you wish to synchronize.
- Click the blue Verify button:
- Download the configuration profile:
- Open the System Settings of the computer.
- Click on General in the sidebar, then click on Device Management (for macOS Sequoia 15 version). If you have a lower version or cannot find the profile, refer to the official documentation by changing the system version at the top of the page if necessary:
- Click on the + button:
- Locate and then open the previously downloaded file:
- Click on Continue:
- Enter the email password.
- Click on the Install button:
- There you go, your email address is now configured in the Apple Mail application, which you can open and control.
