Configure Outlook (iOS / Android app) in IMAP (mail)
This guide explains how to connect the mobile app Microsoft Outlook (app for smartphone or tablet iOS / Android) to an email address hosted by Infomaniak.
⚠️ The Outlook Lite app is not compatible with the IMAP protocol… Only install the version offered above. 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 Mail Service (Mail Service only, or existing within a kSuite).
- Test the email address password (do not confuse it with the one used to log in to the Infomaniak interface).
- Check on the Mail Service that the automatic diagnosis is correct.
Add the email address to the application
To configure the messaging application:
- Open the application.
- Click on Add an account:
- Enter the email address to be linked.
- Click on Continue:
- Click on IMAP :
- Check and complete the missing information.
- Click on the icon âś“ at the top right:
- Click on the left to complete the configuration:
- That's it, 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:
- Prioritize port
587
+ STARTTLS: this is the official technical standard and the most compatible method with the majority of modern systems for authenticated submission. - Tolerate port
465
+ SSL/TLS only as a compatibility option or alternative, specifying that it is implicit encryption, but that 587 remains the recommended choice.
- Prioritize port
- Username = full & complete email address ( ? )
- Password = the one assigned to 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 according to the software/email clients, enter a username (= full & complete email address) and its password.
