This guide explains how to connect the Apple Mail desktop app on macOS (MacBook Pro, Neo, etc.) to an email address hosted by Infomaniak.

 

Introduction

 

Manually add the email address to the application

Prerequisites

To configure the email application:

  1. Open the application.
    • If you have already configured an address, click on the Mail menu and then Add Account:
  2. Click on Other Account.
  3. Click on Continue:
  4. Enter the account name.
  5. Enter the email address to be added.
  6. Paste the password for the email address generated in the Infomaniak Manager.
  7. Click the blue Sign In button:
  8. Check and complete the missing information.
  9. Click on Sign in:
  10. Press the button to validate:
  11. 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: 587 + STARTTLS
  • Username = the complete and full email address (need help?)
  • Password = the one generated for 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 (= complete and full email address) and the generated password.

Refer to this other guide if you are looking for information about other compatible email ports and protocols (SSL / TLS, for example).

 

In case of a problem

It is not necessary to contact Infomaniak Support if your email address works correctly outside the application. The most common error concerns the use of an incorrect password. The tool provided within Apple Mail can indicate this:

Create a new password from the Mail Service and restart the configuration of your account on the email application.

The troubleshooting guides help you resolve any potential issues:

And if your Apple Mail is no longer working after a change of email password, refer to this other guide.

This guide explains how to manage a calendar and its events within the Google Calendar mobile app (application for iOS/Android smartphones or tablets) and/or the Infomaniak Calendar web app (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/calendar), while keeping all data fully synchronized thanks to the Infomaniak mobile app kSync (application for Android smartphones or tablets).

 

Introduction

  • Refer to this other guide if you only want to display an Infomaniak calendar in read-only mode on Google Calendar (web and mobile app).
    • The reverse is also possible if you only want to display a Google calendar in read-only mode on the Infomaniak Calendar web app (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/calendar).
  • The procedure below allows you to edit calendar events on both sides, but only on the mobile version of the Google Calendar app.

 

Synchronize the Infomaniak calendar and the mobile device

Prerequisites

  1. Download the Google Calendar mobile app for Android.
  2. Download the Infomaniak kSync mobile app (application for Android smartphones or tablets) here:


     
    • The kSync app is also available on F-droid.
  3. Install kSync.

Next, launch the kSync app on your Android device. A step-by-step wizard will help you configure the app according to your needs:

  1. Decide if you want to synchronize tasks.
  2. Allow kSync to access the required items on the device, primarily the calendar.
  3. Allow the app to run in the background for better synchronization (uses more battery); settings can also be adjusted within the app itself:
  4. The key is to grant access rights to the services you need to synchronize:
  5. Go back to the kSync app and continue the configuration:
  6. Tap to add an Infomaniak user account (the one you use to log in to your Infomaniak services):
    1. For example, in the Calendar web app, the user menu in the top right corner shows the login email address.
    2. You can then access the calendars of the Organization to which the current user belongs:
    3. This is the data that will be synchronized to your device when you log in to the same Infomaniak account on kSync…
  7. Enter your Infomaniak login credentials (see point a above).
  8. Tap the button to log in:
  9. Complete the two-factor authentication steps as you normally would.
  10. Once logged in to kSync, activate the calendars (from those displayed, which are linked to your Infomaniak account) to be synchronized from the CALDAV tab:
  11. Start the synchronization using the button at the bottom right.

 

Automatic synchronization of the native calendar

  • At this stage, the native application on your Android device (Samsung Calendar, for example, on Samsung devices) will be synchronized and display the events from your Infomaniak calendar (you may need to activate the account in the application):
  • An event added and/or modified on one of the interfaces will be automatically synchronized everywhere:

 

Enable the calendar in Google Calendar

To find your Infomaniak calendar in Google Calendar and be able to edit its events:

  1. Open Google Calendar on your Android device.
  2. Tap the menu button with three horizontal lines at the top left of the interface:
  3. Tap Settings at the bottom of the menu:
  4. Tap Manage accounts:
  5. Enable the account corresponding to your Infomaniak calendar:
  6. Go back to the previous page and make sure the Infomaniak calendar appears among the accounts, and change the color if necessary:
  7. That's it, Google Calendar is synchronized with the Infomaniak calendar. Any event added and/or modified in either interface will be automatically synchronized everywhere:

This guide helps you understand the structure of your Infomaniak services, with the aim of familiarizing you with the terminology used and helping you easily manage your management interfaces, mainly when using my kSuite.

 

Preamble

  • The Organization is the term that represents the grouping of Infomaniak services & users (you and potential collaborators, family members, etc.).
  • To understand what an Organization really represents, this guide is structured around several possible situations currently:
    1. Any new registration for a free my ksuite address (ik.me / etik.com / ikmail.com).
    2. Any new registration for other Infomaniak services.
    3. Combined use of my kSuite and other services in the ecosystem:
      1. Sign up for my kSuite by specifying an existing Infomaniak account
      2. Purchase Infomaniak products with only a my kSuite account

 

1. my kSuite Registration (ik.me / etik.com / ikmail.com)

When registering on welcome.infomaniak.com/signup/myksuite, you chose the name of your email address, for example anna.a@ik.me and then entered a personal phone number:

  1. Once the registration is validated, you access your email address anna.a@ik.me on the Web app Mail ksuite.infomaniak.com/mail:
  2. You can distinguish:
    1. The logo/type of your Organization, which in this case indicates that it is a my kSuite account.
    2. The button allows you to access the Manager manager.infomaniak.com and other apps / other services related to my kSuite:
      • The Manager in this case will contain nothing more than information about managing your my kSuite account:
    3. The initials are those of your Infomaniak account (first name / last name entered during registration):

This account my kSuite will not be able to directly contain hosting products, or kSuite with a domain name, etc. The rest of this guide explains how to create a more comprehensive Organization if necessary.

Note that it is not possible to export your services my kSuite to another Organization.

To use your new my kSuite email address on the Web app Mail, refer to this other guide.

 

2. Registration and purchase of hosting, domain, etc.

When registering on welcome.infomaniak.com/signup/, you chose your login identifier, in the form of a personal email address, for example anna.alpha@orange.fr :

You then chose the type of Organization you wanted to create (personal, or for a company, association, etc.):

  1. Once registration is complete, you will access the Manager manager.infomaniak.com and your Organization is still an “empty shell” of which you are currently the sole legal representative:
  2. You can distinguish:
    1. The logo/type of your Organization, which in this case indicates that it is a personal Organization (automatically named upon creation via the first name/last name of the creator); this can be customized.
    2. The button allows you to access kSuite ksuite.infomaniak.com and other apps / other services related to the free kSuite added to your new Organization:
    3. The initials are those of your Infomaniak account (first name / last name provided during registration):

 

3. Combined use

What happens if you sign up for my kSuite by specifying an existing Infomaniak account that you already own for using hosting products?

Or how to proceed if you wish to acquire hosting products when you only have a my kSuite ?

 

Sign up for my kSuite by specifying an existing account

When signing up on welcome.infomaniak.com/signup/myksuite, you choose to log in with an existing account

  1. Obviously, you should not specify a my kSuite account (anna.a@ik.me for example) as an existing account, as you cannot have multiple ik.me / etik.com / ikmail.com email addresses:
  2. Specify your existing Organization account, anna.alpha@orange.fr:
  3. Thus, the creation of a my kSuite account is proposed to you:
  4. Once registration is complete, you will access the Manager manager.infomaniak.com:
    1. your previous Organization is visible…
    2. separated from my kSuite currently selected:
  5. Click on one or the other of the Organizations/my kSuite from this menu (always accessible permanently at the top left) to switch from one to the other.

 

Acquiring products with only one account my kSuite

Another situation: you wish to acquire on www.infomaniak.com one of the services offered by Infomaniak, for example a domain name for your future site / email:

  1. You will be redirected to the Infomaniak Shop; proceed to the next step:
  2. At the step where you need to specify your existing Infomaniak identifier, if any, you enter your existing my kSuite account (anna.alpha@ikmail.com in this example):
  3. Your existing identifier is recognized, you must authenticate:
  4. Then you will necessarily go through the Organization creation step; choose the type of Organization you wish to create (personal, or for a company, association, etc.):
  5. To finalize the purchase, the details related to the Organization will be requested for billing (they are also used to generate a registrant for the ordered domain name); all you have to do is complete the order:
  6. Once the order is completed, you access the Manager manager.infomaniak.com:
    1. your new Organization is visible…
    2. separated from my kSuite currently selected.
  7. Click on the new Organization to switch to it and manage your ordered products:
  8. To switch from one to the other of the Organizations/my kSuite click on this menu (always accessible permanently at the top left):
    1. A first time to arrive on the main page of the Manager,
    2. then on the chevron allowing the choice of the destination:
  9. You will find your email address my kSuite.

  • These addresses are provided for informational purposes and can be used to perform a content copy from your old email addresses to your Infomaniak email address.
    • Not all of them have been individually verified and are subject to change without notice.
  • For Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, and iCloud, you generally need to generate an "App Password" in the security settings of your original account to allow the copy.
    • If necessary, do not hesitate to contact your previous email provider to ask them for the exact email server to enter.

This guide explains how to create, save, and edit an Office file (text, spreadsheet, presentation...) on the Web app kDrive (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/kdrive) and on the mobile app kDrive (application for iOS / Android smartphone or tablet).

 

Note to LibreOffice file users: to avoid display or formatting bugs on kDrive, always convert your LibreOffice files (ODF: .ods, .odt, .odp) to their Microsoft Office XML equivalents (.xlsx, .docx, .pptx) before online editing.

 

Use the native editor

kDrive natively integrates the Docs, Grids and Points applications which allow you to create, modify and collaborate online on documents of type Word .docx, Excel .xlsx and PowerPoint .ppsx. You will thus be able to work with:

  • text document
  • spreadsheet (worksheet)
  • presentation
  • notebook
  • document draw.io for diagrams, schematics and wireframes

A feature allows you to add a bookmark (shortcut to a favorite passage in your document or the equivalent of a web page anchor) that you can easily share with your contacts. You will also be able to easily notify a user of your Organization directly on the document.

Refer to the guide on this subject.

 

Use Microsoft Office Online

Another editing solution is available to you (kDrive Pro or kSuite Business / Enterprise required): the Microsoft Office Online editor.

Refer to the guide on this subject.

This guide details how to manage the Organization Directory, which is a special address book available within the Infomaniak Contacts web app (online service: ksuite.infomaniak.com/contacts).

 

Introduction

  • The Organization Directory is "automatically created" by the various users that make up one of the Organizations to which your user is affiliated.
  • If Groups are created within the Organization, they will be visible in the Organization Directory:
  • This address book is automatically synchronized with all internal users of your Organization.
  • An administrator of the Organization can make certain entries in the directory private, hiding them from users with fewer permissions:
  • It is not possible to export or rename it.
    • You can change its display color:

 

Accessing the Directory

If your login ID corresponds to and belongs to one (or more) Organizations, you can access the different directories of these Organizations:

  1. Click here to access the Infomaniak Contacts web app (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/contacts).
  2. Click on the chevron to the left of the name of the Organization in question.
  3. Click on {Organization name} Directory
  4. The contacts of the selected Organization are displayed on the right:

 

Modify a contact's details in the directory

You can do many things (copy, export their profile, view email exchanges or calendar events, add to favorites, call, etc.) by clicking on a contact's profile in the Organization Directory address book, but you will not be able to modify the details on behalf of the person concerned:

To modify the main information, the person concerned (the person for whom a change needs to be made) must log in to their profile and modify it (see below):

A. First name & last name

To change the first name and last name displayed in the directory, the user in question (here, faq@exemple-domaine.ch) must log in to their account and modify their contact information. Please refer to this other guide for more information.

B. Email address

To change the email address displayed in the directory, the user in question must log in to their account and modify their contact information. Please refer to this other guide for more information.

C. Phone number

To change the phone number displayed in the directory, the user in question must log in to their account and modify their contact information. Please refer to this other guide for more information.

This guide will quickly introduce you to the essential features of Euria, the artificial intelligence available within kSuite. It performs particularly well with the kDrive Infomaniak web app (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/kdrive).

kSuite Free / kSuite Standard
my kSuite / my kSuite+ (ik.me, etik.com, ikmail.com)
kDrive Solo / kDrive Team / kDrive Pro


 

Use AI for your files on kDrive

Prerequisites

 

To access Euria on kDrive:

  1. Click here to access the Infomaniak kDrive web app (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/kdrive).
  2. Open a PDF document (Euria is also available with other text/code file types: .md, .txt, .json, .php, etc.) or right-click on the file in question:
  3. Euria will open in a side panel on the right; if you close it, Euria remains accessible via the round icon at the top right:

 

How can Euria help?

Euria helps you to effectively leverage the document you have opened (and only that one); it can, in particular:

  • answer your questions about its content (details, statistics, changes)
  • summarize the key points (or even simplify them, and even more so if you specify “for a 10-year-old child”…)
  • translate it
  • provide metadata (size, creation or modification date)
  • explain the terms or acronyms used

For example, if the document is a long company report on the past year, you can ask for the current size of the Development department, what the top priority projects are, or the last date the document was modified…

 

Create an event for your calendar

With a document mentioning an appointment (e.g., a medical appointment), you can ask Euria to create a snippet of code that, once copied and pasted into an appropriate file, will allow you to add an event to your calendar. Example phrasing: “Create an event in ics format, taking the details from this appointment”.

Euria can also extract events from a more complex document:

Euria will explain what it has done (a VCALENDAR code) and what you need to do (create a new file with the .ics extension containing the code it generated, and open it on your computer to import it into your usual calendar app or import it into your kSuite calendar):

Create a genealogical tree of the characters

With a book stored on your kDrive, you can ask Euria to create a precise and complete genealogical tree to show the relationships between all the characters. You will thus obtain a list of names with their relationships.

But you can take the experience further by then requesting a “Mermaid” diagram based on this list. Simply copy and paste the code provided by Euria into a tool like mermaid.live:

Analyze a survey, write a blog post

Based on a survey/report document, you can ask Euria to write a new article in the tone you want and addressed to the desired target audience. Example: “Based on all of this, write a blog post with an engaging title and text of no more than 400 words, for a target audience of women aged 30 to 40”.

But you can also ask it to find “what are the biases in this survey” or "what elements would deserve to be explored or verified further". Euria can thus help you adopt a critical stance towards a survey or report, by pointing out any potential shortcomings, exaggerations, or biases.

It can also rephrase the conclusions of the survey for different audiences (professionals, teenagers, curious readers, etc.), suggest alternative angles for a related article, or even generate titles, introductions, or summaries according to the desired level of complexity.

The goal is to extract maximum editorial value from a single source of content, by diversifying the formats, tones, and points of view.

You order a Mail Service only

Below are the different steps to migrate your mail service to Infomaniak securely.

Step 1

It is necessary to order the mail service by following this guide.

At the time of ordering, you can choose to transfer the domain name at the same time or order the mail service alone.

You can then import the content of your old addresses to Infomaniak: refer to this other guide.

Step 2

Once the addresses are configured and your old content imported, you will be able to link your external domain name to your Infomaniak Mail Service to start receiving emails at Infomaniak. You will need to follow the chapter "Link the external domain to your Mail Service" of this guide.

You will find here the MX / SPF to add in the DNS zone of your domain name:

SPF

Type: TXT
Host: Leave blank
Target: v=spf1 include:spf.infomaniak.ch -all

MX

Priority: 5
Host: Leave blank
Target: mta-gw.infomaniak.ch (for Gandi, it is necessary to add a dot at the end "mta-gw.infomaniak.ch." )

Step 3 (optional)

Once everything is working correctly and if it hasn't been done already, you can transfer your domain name: refer to this other guide.

As soon as the transfer is initiated, you should have access to the DNS zone of your domain name on the Infomaniak Manager. You can therefore check…

1. … in the DNS diagnostic if there are any corrections to be made and if necessary add the DNS entries that might be necessary for other services used with your domain name (newsletter or other).

2. … in the global security tab of your mail service if DKIM is properly activated.

 

If emails arrived during the migration with your previous provider, you can import the content of your old addresses to Infomaniak again by following this guide (duplicates are managed).
