This guide explains how to connect the mobile app Apple Mail on iOS to an email address hosted by Infomaniak.

Preamble

• The 3 update methods offered by Apple Mail are:
  • Push
  • Fetch
  • Manual
• The Push method will not be available when you set up an address outside of iCloud! To avoid this:
  • It is recommended to configure your iOS device automatically using .mobileconfig configuration profiles compatible with Apple, or use the Infomaniak Mail (iOS) app to benefit from a Push type update method.
• ⚠️ All the services offered by Infomaniak are compatible with the corresponding standard protocols (notably IMAP/SMTP for email, WebDAV for sharing, S3/Swift for storage, etc.). Therefore, if you encounter a problem with third-party software, contact its publisher directly or a Partner and consult the support policy as well as article 11.9 of the Infomaniak Terms and Conditions.

Manually add the email address to the application

Prerequisites

• Create the address within my kSuite or on a Mail Service (Mail Service 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 the Service Mail that the automatic diagnosis is correct.
• Have added the email address in question to Mail Infomaniak to use the synchronization assistant and for the Apple profile to work on your devices.

To configure the mail application:

1. Open the application.
2. Click on Other account:
   
3. ‍Enter the information such as the email address to attach as well as its password.
4. Click on Next:
   
5. The application indicates that some fields are optional but they are not at all:
   
6. Check and complete the missing information.
7. Click on Next:
   
8. There you go, 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
• Port SMTP = 465 (with SSL)
• Username = the full and complete email address ( ? )
• Password = the one assigned to the email address you want to check ( ? )
• Authentication required for sending emails:
  • It activates in the SMTP settings of your application.
  • Check "use the same parameters as the incoming server" or, depending on the software/email clients, enter a username (= full & complete email address) and its password.

Refer to this other guide if you are looking for information about other compatible messaging ports and protocols.

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. The troubleshooting guides help you resolve any potential issues:

• Check out the solutions provided in this other guide regarding email in general.
• Delete any Apple configuration profiles linked to your Infomaniak email before restarting the setup.

And if your Apple Mail no longer works for sending (e.g., SMTP server disconnected or missing) or since a password change, refer to this other guide.

This guide explains how to change the password of an email address within a Mail Service.

Preamble

• If you cannot log in to the Manager, you will not be able to change the password of one of the addresses of a Mail Service. Refer to this other guide in this case.
• If the email address is linked to the Infomaniak Web app Mail, you can also apply a new password from mail.infomaniak.com.
• Changing the password of an email address means changing the IMAP/SMTP password!
  • As soon as the password is changed, you must update your software (Outlook, etc.), mobile devices (iPhone), etc. with the new password (this is your responsibility).
  • If the email address is linked to the Web app Mail Infomaniak, you will need to enter the new password upon first connection

Change the password from Service Mail

To change the password of an email address from an Infomaniak Mail Service:

1. Click here to access the management of your product on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
2. Click directly on the name assigned to the relevant product.
3. Click on the email address concerned:
   
4. Click on Modify (in the Password section of the General tab)
   
5. Choose:
   1. to send a password reset procedure to the email user
   2. or below: Change the password directly
6. Follow the procedure then enter or manually generate a password (even if the field is already filled due to the browser's memory / autofill settings):
   
   

This guide explains how to use the Gmail mobile app (application for iOS/Android smartphone or tablet) and the Gmail web app (online service gmail.com) to access an email address hosted by Infomaniak.

Preamble

• It is recommended to use the app Infomaniak Mail to benefit from Infomaniak's security advantages.
• ⚠️ All the services offered by Infomaniak are compatible with the corresponding standard protocols (notably IMAP/SMTP for email, WebDAV for sharing, S3/Swift for storage, etc.).
• Therefore, if you encounter a problem with third-party software, contact its publisher or a Partner and consult the support policy as well as article 11.9 of the Infomaniak Terms and Conditions.

Using the Gmail mobile app for Infomaniak

Prerequisites

• Create the address within my kSuite or on a Mail Service (Mail Service 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 the Service Mail that the automatic diagnosis is correct.

To add your Infomaniak-managed email address to your Gmail mobile app using IMAP (official guide):

1. Go to the Settings of Gmail.
2. Tap on Add account.
3. Choose Other.
4. Enter the email address you wish to use.
5. Choose the account type IMAP.
6. Enter the password for the email address.
7. Use the server name mail.infomaniak.com for:
   • Incoming IMAP server (reception):
     
   • Outgoing SMTP server (sending):
     
8. Finish adding the address.

Import your Infomaniak emails into Gmail

Here is an alternative solution for which the following configuration needs to be done once on gmail.com from a computer. Thus, the emails that arrive at your Infomaniak email address will be retrieved gradually on Gmail via the POP3 protocol.

1. Refer to this Google guide starting from “Step 2: Add another email account”.
2. Use these connection details:
   1. POP server name = mail.infomaniak.com
   2. port = 995 (check the SSL Connection box)

Send "Infomaniak" emails from Gmail

It is also possible to configure the gmail.com web app to send emails from an email address hosted by Infomaniak from the Google interface:

1. Refer to this Google guide.
2. Uncheck the box Treat as an alias.
3. Use these connection details:
   1. SMTP server name = mail.infomaniak.com
   2. port = 465 (check the box Secure SSL connection (recommended))

Modify your configuration

If necessary (following point 2 above):

This guide explains how to delete folders that appear grayed out on the Web app Mail Infomaniak (online service mail.infomaniak.com) or in certain email software/clients like Apple Mail, Mozilla Thunderbird or Microsoft Outlook.

Ghost folders

Some email clients like Microsoft Outlook allow you to create subfolders of non-existent folders. For example, it is possible to create the folder /abc/klm/xyz even though the folder "klm‍" does not exist.

In Mail Infomaniak or in other email software/clients, ghost folders like the folder "klm" in this example appear greyed out and cannot be deleted directly.

To delete these ghost folders, it is necessary to delete their subfolders first (in this example: xyz).

Stubborn folders

If, when consulting your Infomaniak email address on Outlook, ghost folders appear and cannot be deleted because they reappear instantly, here is a procedure recommended by Microsoft to resolve this issue:

Reset the IMAP cache

To do this:

• Close Outlook.
• Access the folder where your Outlook data files are stored: C:\Users\[Your Username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook.
• Find the .ost file associated with your IMAP account (e.g. Infomaniak) and delete it (the file will be automatically recreated when Outlook is reopened).
• Reopen Outlook and let it resynchronize your emails and folders.

Search for hidden folders in Outlook

To do this:

• In Outlook, go to the "Folder" tab and select "IMAP Folders".
• Click on "Request" and search for the ghost folder.
• If you find the folder, try to unsubscribe from it, then delete it.

Use the MFCMAPI tool

MFCMAPI is a tool that allows you to manage mailboxes at a low level and delete stubborn folders:

• Download MFCMAPI from the official site (choose the x86 or x64 version according to your system).
• Run MFCMAPI and go to Session > Logon. Select your Outlook profile.
• In the MFCMAPI window, expand the mailbox associated with your IMAP account and locate the ghost folder.
• Right-click on the folder and select "Delete folder". Choose "Hard Deletion" for permanent deletion.

Check the properties of the folder in Outlook

To do this:

• Right-click on the ghost folder in Outlook, then select "Properties".
• Check if there are any unusual settings. Reset or modify the settings if necessary, then try deleting the folder again.

Recreate the Outlook profile

If the previous steps fail, recreating your Outlook profile can be an effective solution:

• Back up your important data before proceeding.
• Go to Control Panel > Mail > Show Profiles > Add.
• Follow the instructions to set up a new email account.
• Set this new profile as the default profile and open Outlook.
• Check if the ghost folder persists after creating the new profile.

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the issue of ghost folders in Outlook IMAP.

This guide explains how to easily sort your messages using Plus Addressing ("+ addressing" or "sub-addressing"), i.e., aliases of your email address that do not need to be actually created on a Service Mail Infomaniak.

Preamble

• This feature is free and allows you to have multiple versions of your existing email address (= aliases), for example to separate your personal emails from the newsletters you are subscribed to.
• These "wildcard" aliases mean that a message can be sent to an email address containing a + (for example abc+def@domain.xyz) and it will still arrive in the existing inbox abc@domain.xyz and have the possibility of being filtered and sorted automatically based on what comes after the "+" if you set this up.
• Note that it is also possible to create real aliases without the + character ...
   

Using an alias with an Infomaniak email address

The next time you sign up for a newsletter or a customer account that requires a username:

• Simply use a formulation of your email address that includes the "+" sign (example: anna+newsletter‍@domain.xyz) instead of entering your actual email address.

So if your usual email address is anna@domain.xyz, emails sent to anna+newsletter‍@domain.xyz or anna+CeQueVousVoulez‍@domain.xyz will arrive in the inbox of anna@domain.xyz.

Next, to automatically move incoming messages sent to your aliases into specific folders, refer to this other guide to create sorting filters.

It is also possible to send emails from this type of address if you configure the sending address accordingly.

16. Start again at step 3 above to import the rest of the email addresses.

Labels and storage space

The storage space displayed at Infomaniak may not match that indicated in Gmail, notably due to the different management of labels/tags.

Indeed, these, present in Gmail, will be converted into folders on the Infomaniak servers (same principle as when using an email client/software IMAP like Thunderbird):

As a result, an email tagged in multiple Gmail folders can be counted multiple times during migration, which explains why an account showing, for example, 6 GB in Gmail can take up 18 GB once transferred to Infomaniak servers.

Adjust the application settings

As soon as you have ensured that the domain name associated with your email works with Infomaniak, adjust the settings of the email software/clients you use so that they connect correctly to the Infomaniak servers: follow the configuration assistant.

To finish

• Ensure that the email is properly secured
• Copy the content from other Mail providers

This guide explains how to connect the mail application Courrier (Windows 10 version) to an email address hosted at Infomaniak.

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 the Service Mail that the automatic diagnosis is correct.

Add the email address to the application

To set up the email application:

1. Open the application:
   
2. Click on Settings.
3. Click on Manage accounts.
4. Click on Advanced setup (at the bottom).
5. Select Internet Mail.
6. Check and complete the missing information by scrolling down if necessary.
7. Leave all boxes checked.
8. Click on Connect.
9. Click on OK.
10. There you go, 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.

Refer to this other guide if you are looking for information about other compatible messaging ports and protocols.

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. The troubleshooting guides help you resolve any potential issues:

• Check out the solutions provided in this other guide regarding email in general.
• This other guide is more specifically about Outlook.

… and if your Outlook is no longer working since a change of email password, refer to this other guide.

This guide helps you set up a printer (Hewlett-Packard, Xerox, Canon, Epson, Brothers, etc.), a scanner, and any device capable of sending a message, via an email address hosted with Infomaniak.

Operating principles

It is imperative that your device allows the use of SMTP authentication to send emails.

Enable authentication and use the created email address as the username and the password you assigned to it.

As the mail server address, sometimes called the host name or hostname, use mail.infomaniak.com

If your printer rejects the server address in this format and asks for an IP address, it will unfortunately not be possible to configure your printer to send emails. Indeed, the IP addresses of the mail servers may change at any time, so it is essential that you use the address in the form of a name as indicated above.
