Set up Apple Mail (iOS app) with IMAP profile (email)
This guide explains how to connect the mobile app Apple Mail on iOS to an email address hosted by Infomaniak.
Preamble
- Your iOS device will be automatically configured using configuration profiles .mobileconfig 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 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.
Download the profile from the relevant iOS device or send it from another device (if you already have a working email address, for example):
