This guide explains how to connect the desktop app Outlook 2013 (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:

1. Open the application.
2. Click on the File menu:
   
3. Click on Account Settings.
4. Click on Add or Remove Accounts:
   
5. Click on New:
   
6. Click on Manual Setup:
   
7. Click on POP / IMAP.
8. Click on Next:
   
9. Check and complete the missing information.
10. Click on More Settings:
    
11. Click on the Outgoing Server tab.
12. Click on My outgoing server requires authentication.
13. Click on the Advanced tab:
    
14. Replace the port numbers with the correct information and enable SSL.
15. Click on OK:
    
16. Click on Next:
    
17. Click on Close:
    
18. Click on Finish:
    
19. Click on Close:
    
20. There you go, your email address is now configured in the application:
    

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 activate this protocol: 587 + STARTTLS
• Username = the complete & full email address ( ? )
• Password = the one generated for the email address you want to access
• Mandatory authentication 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 (= complete & full 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 a 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 in your email password, be aware of this other guide.
