Configure Mail (Windows 10) in IMAP (mail)

This guide explains how to connect the desktop app Mail (desktop application on Windows 10) 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 section 11.9 of the Infomaniak Terms and Conditions.

 

Add the email address to the application

Prerequisites

To configure the email application:

  1. Open the application:
    sign
  2. Click on Settings.
  3. Click on Manage accounts.
  4. Click on Advanced setup (at the bottom).
  5. Choose Internet Mail.
  6. Check and complete the missing information.
  7. Leave all boxes checked.
  8. Click on Connect.
  9. Click on OK.
  10. 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 = full & complete email address ( ? )
  • Password = the one generated for the email address you want to access
  • Authentication required to send 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 clients, 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:
