Configure Microsoft 365 with IMAP (email)

Update 06/30/2026

This guide explains how to connect Microsoft 365 to an email address hosted by Infomaniak.

 

Introduction

  • Infomaniak email addresses cannot be added directly to Outlook online from a browser using a personal Microsoft account.
    • Indeed, Microsoft no longer allows adding an external address via IMAP on outlook.live.com.
    • Only the Microsoft mailbox linked to the connected account (address @outlook.fr, @outlook.com, @hotmail…) can be displayed there.
    • “Microsoft 365” is primarily the subscription; Microsoft has removed the function for connected accounts in Outlook.com, and the equivalent function of Outlook on the web has also been removed.
  • To view an Infomaniak address with Outlook, you must install the Outlook app or use a different software/IMAP-compatible email client.
