This guide explains how to link a domain name to an Infomaniak Mail Service.
If the domain name is located…
… with Infomaniak, same Organization
If your domain name is registered with Infomaniak and is in the same user account or Organization as your email, then there is nothing to do.

… with Infomaniak, different organization
If your domain name is registered with Infomaniak but in a different user account or Organization, then:

- Any DNS addition/modification may take up to 48 hours to propagate.
OU
- Move it within the same Organization.
… with Infomaniak using external DNS
If your domain name uses DNS servers that are not Infomaniak's, then:
- Edit the current DNS zone where it is hosted (if necessary, consult the help documentation of the provider in question) and specify Infomaniak's MX record (+ SPF & DKIM).
- Any DNS addition/modification may take up to 48 hours to propagate.
OU
- Change your current DNS settings and select the option to use Infomaniak's DNS servers.

… elsewhere, but you are moving it here
If your domain name is registered with another registrar and you would like to transfer it to the same location as your Infomaniak email, then:
