Configure Apple Mail (macOS) with IMAP profile (email)
This guide explains how to connect the Apple Mail desktop app (desktop application on macOS) to an email address hosted by Infomaniak.
Preamble
- Your macOS computer will be automatically configured via .mobileconfig configuration profiles compatible with Apple, unlike a manual configuration.
- It is possible to remove a configuration profile once installed (scroll to the bottom of this page for instructions).
- 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 the publisher directly or a Partner and consult the support policy as well as section 11.9 of the Infomaniak Terms of Service.
Install a configuration profile
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.
- Check that the Mail Service is configured optimally.
You can download the profile from the device in question 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 on which your email address is managed.
- Choose to install the profile on this device.
- Choose to synchronize emails.
- Enter the password for the email address (attached to Mail Infomaniak (Webmail)) that you wish to synchronize.
- Click on 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 version of your system at the top of the page if necessary:

- Click on +:

- Locate and then open the previously downloaded file:

- Click on Continue:

- Enter the email address password.
- Click on Install:

- There you go, your email address is now configured in the Apple Mail application that you can open and control.

*Why is it necessary to choose the guide version that exactly matches your macOS / iOS system version? Apple sometimes introduces subtle changes with each new system version, for example a path on iOS 15…
