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 full and complete email address ( ? )
• Password = the one generated for the email address you want to view
• Authentication required for sending emails:
  • It is activated in the SMTP settings of your application.
  • Check "use the same parameters as the incoming server" or, depending on the software/email client, enter a username (= full & complete email address) and the generated password.

Refer to this other guide if you are looking for information about other mail 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:

• Refer to 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 of email password, refer to this other guide.
