Update 07/14/2026
This guide details the feature that allows you to tag (identify/mention) contacts when composing a new message in the Infomaniak Mail web app (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/mail).
Introduction
- You can only insert contacts from existing address books within the Organization, and only if their email address is provided.

- The contact or email address mentioned during composition will be automatically added to the email recipients.

@icon. Please note: removing a contact mention from the message being composed does not remove their email address from the recipients (and vice versa).
