This guide explains how to connect the mobile app Apple Mail on iOS to an email address hosted by Infomaniak.

Preamble

• The 3 update methods offered by Apple Mail are:
  • Push
  • Fetch
  • Manual
• The Push method will not be available when you set up an address outside of iCloud! To avoid this:
  • It is recommended to configure your iOS device automatically using .mobileconfig configuration profiles compatible with Apple, or use the Infomaniak Mail (iOS) app to benefit from a Push type update method.
• ⚠️ 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 directly or a Partner and consult the support policy as well as article 11.9 of the Infomaniak Terms and Conditions.

Manually add the email address to the application

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 the 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.

To configure the mail application:

1. Open the application.
2. Click on Other account:
   
3. ‍Enter the information such as the email address to attach as well as its password.
4. Click on Next:
   
5. The application indicates that some fields are optional but they are not at all:
   
6. Check and complete the missing information.
7. Click on Next:
   
8. 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
• Port SMTP = 465 (with SSL)
• Username = the full and complete email address ( ? )
• Password = the one assigned to the email address you want to check ( ? )
• Authentication required for sending emails:
  • It activates 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 its password.

Refer to this other guide if you are looking for information about other compatible messaging ports and protocols.

In case of trouble

There is no need to contact Infomaniak Support if your email address works well outside of the application. The most common error involves using an incorrect password. The troubleshooting guides help you resolve any potential issues:

• Check out the solutions provided in this other guide regarding email in general.
• Delete any Apple configuration profiles linked to your Infomaniak email before restarting the setup.

And if your Apple Mail no longer works for sending (e.g., SMTP server disconnected or missing) or since a password change, refer to this other guide.
