Set up eM Client in IMAP (email)
This guide explains how to connect the eM Client email application to an email address hosted by Infomaniak.
⚠️ Infomaniak mail is compatible with any application supporting IMAP/SMTP. For additional help contact the support of the software used or a partner — also discover the role of the host.
Prerequisites
- Create the address within my kSuite or on a Service Mail (Service Mail 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 Service Mail that the automatic diagnosis is correct.
Add the email address to the application
To configure the email application:
- Open the application and choose the desired mode, then click on Next:
- Enter the email address to attach and then click the Start button next to the field:
- Enter the email password and then click on Continue next to the field:
- Check the box and click on Yes:
- Check and complete the missing information:
- Choose the desired mode then click on Next:
- Check and complete the missing information:
- It is done, 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 = 465 (with SSL)
- Username = the full & complete email address ( ? )
- Password = the one assigned to the email address you want to access ( ? )
- Authentication required for sending emails:
- It is activated in the SMTP settings of your application.
- Check "use the same settings as the incoming server" or, depending on the software/email client, enter a username (= full & complete email address) and its password.
Some versions of eM Client incorrectly consider ports 993 and 465 as obsolete and you will then need to specify for IMAP tcp/143 STARTTLS
or tcp/993 SSL/TLS
and for SMTP tcp/587 STARTTLS
.
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. Familiarize yourself with the solutions provided in this other guide regarding email in general.
