This guide explains how to import a calendar / agenda into the Infomaniak Web app Calendar (online service calendar.infomaniak.com for managing your events and appointments).
Preamble
- Refer to this other guide if you only want to display an Infomaniak calendar as read-only on Google Agenda (web & mobile app).
- Refer to this other guide to edit events on both calendars but only on the mobile version of the Google Agenda app.
Import a calendar via a URL

To do this:
- Click here to access the Infomaniak Calendar web app (online service calendar.infomaniak.com).

- Click on "From a URL":
- Paste the URL of the calendar to import and check I want to subscribe to this agenda:
- If necessary, choose the Organization into which the calendar will be imported.

You can also go directly through one of the Organizations you are part of:
- Click here to access the Web app Calendar Infomaniak (online service calendar.infomaniak.com).
- Click on the action menu ⋮ to the right of the organization in the displayed table.
- Click on "From a URL":

This guide details what can be searched for on the Web app Mail Infomaniak (online service mail.infomaniak.com) or other kSuite services. To search on kDrive, refer to this other guide.
Search for an email
You can perform a global search (among all directories of the Web app Mail Infomaniak) either in the body of the message, or in its subject, or among its senders/recipients, large attachments, etc. If you want to find a message in a specific directory, select it first.
Advanced search is accessible from the dropdown arrow to the right of the search field at the top of your Mail:
To search for the trace of an email or know its activity, you can also search in the logs of an email address.
Email search with a mail software/client
To find out how your specific email application performs searches, consult its documentation. For example, Thunderbird and Outlook can synchronize messages locally and perform local searches, while other applications may prefer to search on the IMAP server. In this case, the email client sends a search command to the server, which then searches all messages stored on the server and returns the results to the email client.
Search for a contact
You can search for an address book, a group, or a person among your contacts using the search field at the top of your Infomaniak address book:
Search for an event
You can search for calendars, events, rooms, including among their descriptions and the people associated with them:
