      Difference between the user names for Infomaniak Mail, Manager and email accounts

      The username and password used to log in to the Manager (admin console for your products) and Infomaniak Mail online email interface to use one or more email addresses) are not necessarily the same as those used for an email account hosted by Infomaniak.

      In short, you have:

        • 1 username (in the form of an email address) and 1 password to access
          • Infomaniak Mail https://mail.infomaniak.com/
          • and the Manager https://manager.infomaniak.com/
        • 1 password for each email account hosted by Infomaniak

        These can be identical or not, as you choose. And if you change one, this will not change the other one.

        For example, it is possible to log in to Infomaniak Mail or the Manager with an email address not managed by Infomaniak (e.g. email@yahoo.fr).

        Similarly, the password used to log in to Infomaniak Mail or the Manager could be "pAssW8ox3C", while the password for your Infomaniak email address is "h6Kcy34rT".

      Frequent errors concerning Apple Mail (MacOS)

      This guide explains the various steps to follow in case of a problem with Apple Mail software (running MacOS).

      Initial reflex

      The very first thing to do is to follow the instructions for the closest version to yours by clicking here: https://faq.infomaniak.com/1075

      To follow step by step

      1. Study the various possible reasons for a configuration failure: https://faq.infomaniak.com/2218
      2. Close Apple Mail completely, then re-open it. A message may appear indicating a problem with the certificate. Click Connect and everything should work again
      3. It is important to delete any messages in the outbox in the process of being sent. These will still contain the old settings even if you have modified them in the meantime, so they will never be sent. Delete them, send new messages and they will use the new, correct settings.

      If that still does not work...

      Go to Mail -> Preferences...
      Open the Accounts tab
      Select the account concerned in the left column
      Open the Advanced tab and untick Use SSL
      Return to the Account Information tab
      Locate the Outgoing Server drop-down list (SMTP)
      Select the last option, Edit the list of servers...
      Select the outgoing server to edit (list in the upper part of the window)
      Click the Advanced tab
      Enable Use the customized port and indicate port 587
      Untick Use SSL (Secure Sockets Layer)
      Click "OK"
      Send yourself an email and it should work without any problem

      Otherwise, go to Mail -> Preferences...
      Go to the Accounts tab
      Select the account concerned in the left column
      Under Incoming server, precisely indicate mail.infomaniak.com
      Locate the Outgoing Server drop-down list (SMTP)
      Select the last option, Edit the list of servers...
      Select the outgoing server to edit (list in the upper part of the window)
      Click the Account Data tab
      Under Server Name, precisely indicate mail.infomaniak.com
      Click the Advanced tab
      Enable Use the customized port and indicate port 587
      Send yourself an email and it should work without any problem

      Delete to better re-install

      Here is the official help to enable you to delete the email account of your Mac: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/mail/mail35803/machttps://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/mail/mail35803/mac

      Then re-install your email account via a synchronization profile, which is accessible via your WorkSpace: https://config.infomaniak.com/

      Configuring a printer or scanner to send email

      It is absolutely necessary that your printer or scanner (Hewlett-Packard, Canon, Epson, Brothers, etc.) be able to use SMTP authentication in order to send emails. Enable this function if available and use the email address created for the printer as the user name with the password you have set.


      Use the following email server address: mail.infomaniak.com


      If your printer refuses the server address in this format and requests an IP address, it will unfortunately not be possible to configure your printer to send email. Indeed, our mail servers' IP addresses being likely to change at any given moment, it is essential that you use the address in the form of a name, as shown above.

      Hiding the list of the recipients' addresses in an email message

      When you send an email to several people, the "To:" or "For:" field should preferably feature a single address (your secondary address, for example), and in the "BCC:" or "ICC:" field, you may include your various correspondents' addresses.



      These "BCC" and "ICC" fields ("blind carbon copy" and "invisible carbon copy" respectively) will make your recipients believe that they are the only person to receive the email, or at least hide the addresses of other people, which avoids the propagation of spam in general and provides a welcomed confidentiality.



      The "ICC" and "BCC" fields should not be confused with the "CC" field which does send copies to your recipients, not hiding their respective addresses however!

      Switching an email account configured with POP for an IMAP account

      This guide explains how to switch, in messaging software, from a POP configuration to an IMAP configuration for the same mailbox.

      IMAP/POP: what's the difference?

      The IMAP protocol stores your emails on the mail server, while the POP protocol deletes them from the server to store them exclusively on the computer that holds the email account. To manage an email address on multiple computers and/or with a mobile device (smartphone, tablet, etc.) it is therefore highly recommended to use the IMAP protocol. Find out more

      Switching from the POP protocol to the IMAP protocol

      If your email address is already configured with the POP protocol in your email software (Mozilla Thunderbird, Microsoft Outlook, etc.), it is impossible to switch directly to the IMAP protocol.

      In addition to your email account configured with the POP protocol, it will be necessary to create a new email account with the IMAP protocol in your email software before moving your messages and folders from the POP account (from your computer) to the IMAP account (on the mail server).

      We decline all responsibility in the event of lost data following these operations.

      With Microsoft Outlook

      sign

      First, make sure that your POP email account appears on the left side of the program under Outlook or Personal folders (zone framed in green in the image). These folders will in fact be preserved, even if the email account configured with the POP protocol is deleted. If your folders and emails are not stored under Outlook or Personal folders, move your messages and folders there before performing the following actions:

      1. Open Microsoft Outlook
      2. Open the File tab on the Office ribbon, then click on Add an account
      3. Configure the new email account with the IMAP protocol (the same account as the one configured under POP but this time under IMAP)
      4. Once the IMAP account is created, delete the old POP account
      5. Your messages and your folders are still in the Personal folders section
