This guide explains how to set up a different sending and reply address than the email address used on the Infomaniak platform.
✘ NOT AVAILABLE with
my kSuite (ik.me, etik.com, ikmail.com)
Introduction
- This is useful for working with one of your email aliases (special aliases excluded) or synonymous domains.
- This will work with the Infomaniak Mail web app (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/mail) but also with most email software/clients.
- However, please note: there is no link between the settings entered in the Signature section of Infomaniak Mail and the email software/clients.
- Each email software/client has its own settings, and you can, for example, define a different reply address within each of the respective tools (see the bottom of this guide).
- To manage the sender of out-of-office messages, please refer to this other guide.
Setting the sending address in the Infomaniak Mail web app
Prerequisites
- The secondary email address that can be used must have been added as:
- … either as an email alias (example:
aa@instead ofanna.alpha@) but excluding special aliases:
- … or as synonymous domains (example:
@short-dom.xyzinstead of@my-super-long-domain.xyz).
- … either as an email alias (example:
To access the options for sending addresses:
- Click here to access the Infomaniak Mail web app (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/mail).
- Click on the Settings icon at the top right of the interface.
- Check or select the email address in question from the drop-down menu in the left-hand menu.
- Click on Signatures:

- Click on the action menu ⋮ to the right of the current signature.
- Click on the pencil icon ✎ to edit the current signature.
- OR create a new signature:

- Click on the chevron to expand the Advanced Settings section at the bottom of the page.
- The sender address allows you to specify, if available, the address that will be displayed as the sender in your recipients' inboxes.
- The reply-to address allows you to receive future replies to your messages (return-path) on a different address (from the options specified in the prerequisites above)…
- …and if you compose a message in response to a reply received on this alias, the signature that enables sending with this alternative identity will be applied instead of the signature defined by default.
- Save your changes by clicking the Save button (if the button remains grayed out, make sure all fields are filled in, especially the full name field):

- Compose a new message and select the corresponding signature:

In the example above, the sender address has been modified, but not the reply-to address. This produces the expected result for the recipient (simply check the headers of the received message to confirm).
Now, add the same secondary address to a mail client/application; the effect will be the same.
Configure the sender address in a mail client/application
Prerequisites
- The secondary email address that can be used must have been added as:
- … either as a mail alias (example:
aa@instead ofanna.alpha@) including special aliases. - … or as synonymous domains (example:
@short-dom.xyzinstead of@my-super-long-domain.xyz).
- … either as a mail alias (example:
It is possible to configure an email client with any existing email address, even if it exists as an alias in your Mail Service. Sending will be done in the same way as with an address defined as a "primary" email.
Example in the Thunderbird software:
- Add an account with the correct email settings for the alias:

- Compose a new message from the email client.
- Once received, the message is correctly displayed, even in its headers, as being sent from an address that you know is an alias:

✘ UNAVAILABLE with
my kSuite / my kSuite+ (ik.me, etik.com, ikmail.com)
Introduction
- This feature allows you to create a "virtual" email address without affecting the available quota for email addresses on the paid Mail service.
- It does not store any received messages; it is impossible to access, view, or restore them, or to view the logs of messages that have been forwarded.
- It is intended solely to forward incoming emails to one or more (max. 10 users per redirection) other existing addresses.
- Recipients who have subscribed to receive the redirected emails must first accept their addition for the redirection to them to work (see point 3 below).
- Emails considered as spam by Infomaniak will not be redirected (they will bounce back to the sender – and please refer to this other guide regarding potential Gmail to Gmail redirections).
- To manage redirects for existing email addresses on your Mail Service, please refer to this other guide.
- Number of redirect addresses that can be created per available address (depending on the Mail Service quota):
- kSuite Free = 1
- kSuite Standard = 20
- kSuite Business = 20
- kSuite Enterprise = 20
- Mail Service Starter = 1
- Mail Service Premium = 20
- For example: Paid Mail Service for 10 addresses = 200 redirect addresses available

- If necessary, delete an address added to the table by clicking the trash can icon.
- Click on the Create button:

3. Confirm adding as a redirection recipient
The recipient addresses entered in the table will automatically receive an email requesting confirmation of the addition.
The entire redirection will not function until at least 1 of the mentioned users confirms the addition! As soon as 1 user has confirmed the addition, the redirection will function (to the user or users who confirmed the addition).
- The user must click on the link in the email to validate the addition.
- As long as the addition is not confirmed, the Pending status will remain displayed next to the destination address (visible if you modify the redirection address - see below).
Modify or delete the redirection
You cannot rename a redirection address after it has been created. However, to modify the list of recipients for the redirection, resend a confirmation request, or delete the redirection email address:
- Once on the redirection page:

Priority: 5
Host: Leave blank
Target: mta-gw.infomaniak.ch (for Gandi, it is necessary to add a period at the end: "mta-gw.infomaniak.ch.")
Step 3 (optional)
Once everything is working correctly, and if you haven't already done so, you can transfer your domain name: refer to this other guide.
As soon as the transfer is launched, you should have access to the DNS zone of your domain name in the Infomaniak Manager. You can then check…
1. … in the DNS diagnostic to see if any corrections need to be made and, if necessary, add the DNS entries that would be required for other services used with your domain name (newsletter or other).

This guide explains how to create a template for the sorting/filtering tool (conditions that allow you to automatically categorize your emails based on certain criteria) for all your email accounts in the Infomaniak Mail web app (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/mail).
Introduction
- A template allows you to create the basic structure of a tool that can then be used by multiple users of the same Infomaniak Mail service, and even customized according to the person who will be using it.
- In the case of a rule template, the template creator chooses the condition(s) that will trigger the action.however, it is up to the end user, from within their Mail interface, to define the action to be performed(e.g., moving to a specific folder) when adding a rule based on the existing template.
- For privacy reasons, it is not possible to apply sorting rules to multiple email addresses at the same time.
- You can also hide a template so that it is no longer used.
Create a sorting rule template
To create a template:
- Click here to access the management of your Mail Service in the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
- Click directly on the name assigned to the Mail Service in question:

- Click on Global Settings in the left-hand menu.
- Click on the Rules tab.
- Click on Add a rule template:
- Give the template a name.
- Define the condition for which the end-user will be able to choose the action to trigger.
- The different conditions available for sorting filters are presented in this other guide.
- If the Make visible option is enabled (during creation or can also be selected later), the rule templates created will be suggested to users of the email addresses in their FILTERS AND RULES section.
- Click on Add template:

- The template is created:

- When a user with an email address from the Mail Service on which the rule template was defined accesses the configuration of their sorting rules, they can use the template as a starting point, which will save them from having to redo any complex configuration and simply choose the action to be performed:

This guide explains how to block email addresses or entire domains to stop receiving unwanted messages, or conversely, how to allow addresses to bypass your Infomaniak email's anti-spam filter, ensuring you always receive their messages.
Introduction
- In addition to the Infomaniak anti-spam filter, which eliminates the majority of unwanted emails as it evolves, Infomaniak offers two distinct lists that you can fill in as you wish:
- blocked senders:
- emails and domains on the blocked list (blacklist) are then treated directly as spam…
- allowed senders:
- allowed senders and domains on the allowed list (whitelist) will no longer be filtered by the anti-spam filter…
- the list of allowed senders is only active for the original recipient of each message; if the message is addressed to an address abc@domain.xyz and then forwarded to def@domain.xyz, the anti-spam filter and the list of allowed senders must be configured for the address abc.
- blocked senders:
- These lists are specific to the email address on which the operation is performed, but a Mail Service administrator can also apply these lists to the entire Mail Service via the Global Configuration of a Mail Service.
- These lists are also automatically populated based on your actions on emails at the anti-spam filter level.
Formats that can be used
Replace the example domain (the-spam-domain.xyz) with the domain that is bothering you and that you want to send directly to the Spam folder:
Block a specific email address
john.example@the-spam-domain.xyz
Block all email addresses from a specific domain
*@the-spam-domain.xyz
Block certain email addresses from a specific domain
*example@the-spam-domain.xyz or john*@the-spam-domain.xyz
Block all incoming emails
*
