This guide explains how to create and then automatically add a signature to messages sent from the Web app Mail Infomaniak (online service mail.infomaniak.com).
COMPATIBILITY my kSuite ✗‍ | my kSuite+ ✔‍ ✔‍= Offer compatible | ✗‍= Not available |
Preamble
- The signature will also be visible when sending from the Infomaniak **Mail** app (iOS / Android).
- It will not be present with another sending method (a software like Outlook for example).
- It is also not added to the messages of the autoresponder; it is necessary to add one directly in the out-of-office message.
- One or more signatures can be added from Mail and from the Manager where all addresses of a Mail Service are managed. Choose which signature to use when sending.
Access signatures from the Infomaniak Web Mail app
Prerequisites
- Have permission to manage signatures: if you had been invited to the Web app Mail Infomaniak (online service mail.infomaniak.com) to manage your address, it is possible that the Service Mail manager has revoked this right from their admin account.
To access signature management:
- Click here to access the Web app Mail Infomaniak (online service mail.infomaniak.com).
- Click on the Settings icon ‍ at the top right of the interface.
- Check or select the relevant email address in the dropdown menu of the left sidebar.
- Click on Signatures:
Access signatures from Service Mail
To access Service Mail and manage signatures:
- Click here to access your product management on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
- Click directly on the name assigned to the relevant product.
- Click on the email address in question in the table that appears
- Click on Voicemail and signatures in the left sidebar:
Create and edit the signature
Two options are available to you:
- Click on Add to create a new signature.
- Click on the pencil icon ✎ next to an existing signature to edit it.
Then:
- Choose an existing template, if any.
- Give a name to the signature.
- Specify a name for your identity (it will be displayed next to your email address in the messages received by your contacts).
- Create the signature content in the designated field (see below for formatting options)
- Choose whether or not to share the signature with all users of the Mail address.
- Click on Advanced Settings to choose where to insert your signature: before the message (= header) or after the message (= signature)
- Refer to this other guide regarding the choice of sending/replying addresses.
- Click on the Create signature button.
Signature formatting
You can use an image, edit the HTML source code and format your text using a set of tools.
To avoid overly spaced line breaks, use the Shift key in conjunction with the Enter key on your keyboard, which will have the same effect as the HTML tag <br>
and cause a line break instead of a new paragraph.
Set a default signature
To select the default signature under certain conditions:
- Click here to access your signatures on the Infomaniak Mail web app.
- Check or select the relevant email address in the dropdown menu of the left sidebar.
- Choose the signature that will be inserted by default when drafting:
- of a new message
- of a reply / forward
By setting a default signature from here, it will automatically be displayed in the body of the email while composing. You will still have the possibility to change the signature.
There is a case where the default signature will not be the one automatically inserted by default when drafting a message: refer to point 9 of this other guide.
Select the signature while drafting
When you start writing a new message:
- The signature is inserted automatically.
- If multiple signatures exist, you can select another identity via the dropdown menu.
- You can also quickly access signature settings via the button in the toolbar:
Associated addresses (multiple possible)
When a signature is based on a template (whether it was created from a model proposed by Infomaniak or generated with the advanced editor):
- users do not have access to the signature content for editing,
- they can enter dynamic values such as the sender's name or personal data that may be requested such as the profession or phone number,
- They can also modify the advanced settings of the signature (such as its position within a reply/forward) but as of today, this parameter is shared among all users of the signature (1)
When a signature has been created directly without using a template:
- if the signature is created from a predefined template:
- we have the same behavior as in the previous point, namely a signature created from a template
- if the signature was created using the advanced editor:
- users have access to the signature content for editing, but be aware that this content is shared; if Morgane modifies the content, Vanessa will have the same content once she has reloaded her Mail Infomaniak interface,
- only the sender's name is specific to the user and there are no dynamic values in this case,
- The advanced settings follow the same principle as in other cases: they are common to all users
In all cases, assigning a default signature to an email account is done at the user level. For example, within the same email account, the default signature chosen by Morgane is independent of the one chosen by Vanessa.
Going further with templates
Refer to this other guide if you are looking for how to set up custom templates that can be applied as soon as a new email address is created on your Mail Service, for example, or in bulk to all addresses in your domain.
This guide explains how to connect the desktop app Outlook 2013 (desktop application on Windows) to an email address hosted by Infomaniak.

This guide presents the Global Security tool, which allows you to verify that the relationships between a domain name and an Infomaniak Mail Service are optimal in terms of security. This involves checking the SPF / DKIM / DMARC records, and the Global Security tool allows you to intervene in the configuration if necessary.
Any DNS addition/modification can take up to 48 hours to propagate.
Access the Global Security diagnostic tool
To access Global Security:
- Click here to access the management of your product on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
- Click directly on the name assigned to the product concerned.
- Click on Global Security in the left sidebar:
Verify optimal email functionality
Once you have accessed Global Security, review and verify the 3 security mechanisms inherent to emails: SPF, DKIM, and DMARC policy. These indications should display in green:
Otherwise, this may explain why an email that is not spam is treated as such.
Click on Edit or Create to configure SPF, DKIM, and DMARC according to the recommendations below to secure your Mail Service against potential identity theft:
SPF (Sender Policy Framework)
SPF (click here to configure) allows the owner of a domain name to specify which servers are authorized to send emails on behalf of that domain. This helps reduce the risk of spam and phishing, as the recipient's mail server can verify if the sender is authorized by consulting the sender domain's DNS records.
The analyses of the Global Security tool are only relevant if the domain name is with Infomaniak and configured to direct mail traffic to Infomaniak.
Under these conditions and in case of a detected problem, you will find a Correct button that will allow you to automatically update your SPF.
If correcting one of the mentioned issues is not possible, it must be done on the configuration set up by the owner or technician of the sender's domain name.
If your domain name points to Wix or another provider, the SPF mustbe configured with the provider in question.
DKIM (Domain Keys Identified Mail)
DKIM (click here to configure) is a protocol that allows you to sign emails when sending them.
When your domain name (or its DNS zone) is managed elsewhere, you will find in this section Global Security > DKIM the DKIM record to add in the DNS zone.
You can configure multiple DKIM records on your domain without a fixed limit, unlike DMARC or SPF, which is crucial if you use multiple third-party email providers for your daily communications.
DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance)
DMARC (click here to configure) allows you to indicate to other mail servers (the email providers of the contacts to whom you send an email) the policy to follow in case of receipt of a "suspicious" email (unauthenticated, for example) from your mail server (hosted by Infomaniak). In addition, you can be notified of the "incident" by a summary message (called a "DMARC report") providing information on recent activity of your email related to the domain name.
DMARC requires a valid SPF and DKIM. A wizard allows you to configure DMARC according to Infomaniak's recommendations in simple mode or entirely at your discretion in expert mode (allows you to enter the record of your choice). The corresponding necessary entries (type TXT) will then be automatically applied in the DNS zone of the domain concerned (if administratively possible - domain managed in the same organization, for example).
Infomaniak is neither able to analyze your potential DMARC reports and records, nor able to comment on the validity or compliance of these, as this is entirely your responsibility.
To check the records within your DNS, you can also use an external and free service like the one mentioned at the bottom of this other guide.
Refer to this other guide if you are looking for information on the fourth point of the Global Security page.
This guide explains how to connect the mobile app Apple Mail on iOS to an email address hosted by Infomaniak.
Preamble
- Your iOS device will be automatically configured using configuration profiles .mobileconfig compatible with Apple, unlike a manual configuration.
- It is possible to delete a configuration profile once installed (scroll to the bottom of this page for explanations).
- ⚠️ 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.
Install a configuration profile
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 diagnostic 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.
Download the profile from the relevant iOS device or send it from another device (for example, if you already have a working email address):
- Click here to access the Infomaniak configuration tool (online service https://config.infomaniak.com) — log in if necessary to your Infomaniak account on the Organization managing your email address.
- Choose to install the profile on this device:
- Choose to sync emails:
- Choose to synchronize an application other than the Infomaniak Mail application:

This guide explains how to create sorting rules to automatically classify your incoming emails on Infomaniak according to certain conditions.
Preamble
- These rules allow for the following automatic actions:
- Delete or move messages from email addresses you no longer wish to see.
- Forward emails from a specific email address to your spouse so that both of you receive them.
- Copy messages containing a specific keyword to a folder.
- etc.
- Unlike the sorting rules offered within email software/clients (Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, Apple Mail...), these rules will act directly on the server of your mailboxes before even the IMAP connection.
- You can make it a template for all the addresses in your Mail Service.
- If you use an email software/client configured in POP, alongside Mail, the messages sorted into folders will no longer be downloaded by your application because the POP protocol only retrieves messages that are in your main inbox. To view the sorted messages, it will be necessary to use the IMAP protocol or only Mail Infomaniak.
Access the rules from the Infomaniak Web Mail app
Prerequisites
- Have a paid email plan (free plans are limited to Standard mode without the ability to create a filter to forward an email to another address, for example).
- Have permission to manage the rules: if you had been invited to the Web app Mail Infomaniak (online service mail.infomaniak.com) to manage your address, it is possible that the Service Mail manager has revoked this right from their admin account.
To access the sorting filters for your Infomaniak mail:
- Click here to access the Web Mail Infomaniak app (online service mail.infomaniak.com).
- Click on the Settings icon ‍ at the top right.
- Check or select the relevant email address from the dropdown menu.
- Click on Filters and rules:
Set up a rule based on a received email
You can also create a rule directly from the received email:
- Click here to access the Web Mail Infomaniak app (online service mail.infomaniak.com).
- Open the message from the sender in question.
- Click on the action menu â‹® at the top right of the opened message.
- Choose Create a rule to open the creation assistant which will be pre-filled with the elements of the message:
‍
Access the rules from the Mail Service
To access the sorting filters for your Infomaniak mailbox:
- Click here to access the management of your product on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
- Click directly on the name assigned to the product in question.
- Click on the email address concerned in the table that appears.
- Click on the Filters and rules tab from the left sidebar:
Set up filters & sorting rules
Create a new rule in Standard mode
- Click the Add a rule button in Standard mode to create a new rule using a wizard/form:
- The various conditions available for sorting filters are presented in this other guide.
- Once a filter is created, click on Continue to activate it.
Add or modify a rule in Standard mode
If there are already sorting filters, the button ‍ to add more is located at the top right of the table:
These settings can be modified at any time by clicking on the pencil icon ✎ located to the right of the relevant item.
Create a new rule in Advanced (expert) mode
- The advanced mode allows you to configure sorting rules directly from a script in Sieve language.
- It is possible to import Sieve files via the button.
- By activating this mode, the existing rules will be kept but deactivated.
First example of advanced sorting
Here is a simple example of a command using this language:
require ["fileinto"];
if address :contains "from" "facebook.com" {
fileinto "fb";
} elsif header :matches "List-Unsubscribe" "*" {
fileinto "nl";
} else {
keep;
}
Explanations:
- Loading required extensions: use
require ["fileinto"];
to indicate that you will use thefileinto
function. - Filtering Facebook messages: use
if address :contains "from" "facebook.com"
to check if the sender's address contains "facebook.com"; if so, the message is filed in the "fb" folder withfileinto "fb";
. - Filtering messages with an unsubscribe link: use
elsif header :matches "List-Unsubscribe" "*"
to check if the "List-Unsubscribe" header is present in the message; if so, the message is filed in the "nl" folder withfileinto "nl";
. - Keeping other messages: use
else { keep; }
to keep all other messages that do not match the previous criteria.
Warning:
- If you need to mention a subfolder, use the separator
/
(as in the second example), but it is not necessary to specifyINBOX
in your codes - Make sure that the folders "
fb
" and "nl
" already exist in your inbox; otherwise, messages may not be sorted correctly - The filter
address :contains "from" "facebook.com"
works correctly for addresses that contain "facebook.com" in the "from" field - The filter
header :matches "List-Unsubscribe" "*"
checks only for the presence of the "List-Unsubscribe" header, not its content
Second advanced sorting example
This code modifies the subject based on thesender (adds a prefix to the subject when an email passes the filter, for example) :
require ["fileinto", "editheader", "variables", "regex"];
if address "sender" "owner-scientific-linux-devel at LISTSERV.FNAL.GOV" {
if header :regex "subject" "((Re|Fwd): *)\\[SCIENTIFIC-LINUX-DEVEL\\] *(.*)" {
deleteheader "Subject";
addheader "Subject" "${1}${3}";
} else {
# Ajouter un préfixe si l'objet ne correspond pas déjà au modèle
deleteheader "Subject";
addheader "Subject" "[SL-Devel] ${1}";
}
fileinto "Mail List/SL-Devel";
}
Explanations:
- Required extensions :
fileinto
: to sort messages into folders.editheader
: to modify email headers.variables
: to use variables in expressions.regex
: for regular expressions.
- Condition on the sender :
if address "sender" "owner-scientific-linux-devel at LISTSERV.FNAL.GOV"
: checks if the sender matches.
- Condition on the subject :
if header :regex "subject" "((Re|Fwd): *)\\[SCIENTIFIC-LINUX-DEVEL\\] *(.*)"
: checks if the subject matches the specified pattern.deleteheader "Subject";
andaddheader "Subject" "${1}${3}";
: deletes the existing subject and adds a new subject with the captured parts.
- Add a prefix if the subject does not already match the pattern :
addheader "Subject" "[SL-Devel] ${1}";
: adds the prefix "[SL-Devel]" to the subject if it is not already present.
- Message filing :
fileinto "Mail List/SL-Devel";
: files messages into the "Mail List/SL-Devel" folder.
Attention:
- Make sure the folder "
Mail List/SL-Devel
" already exists in your inbox. - Check that the script correctly modifies the subject of emails to add or adjust the prefix if necessary.
This guide concerns files attached by your correspondent that arrive in winmail.dat
format to your Infomaniak-managed email address.
Preamble
- This
winmail.dat
format is used when sending emails from Microsoft mail software/clients such as Outlook to encapsulate formatting information, attachments, and contacts in the message. - This can cause issues when recipients use other email software that cannot correctly interpret this format.
These files do not depend in any way on the incoming or outgoing mail provider. This is a problem specific to Microsoft, as indicated on their forums or on this page (in English).
Solving the attachment reading issue
Ask the sender to…
… resend the message without using the "
winmail.dat
" format, by using a standard email format such as HTML or plain text when sending messages and/or disabling RTF formatting in Outlook settings before sending the email:- … disable sending in
RTF
format for recipients who are not using Microsoft mail software. To do this, they must open your contact card in their contact list, go to the "Email Address" tab, and select "Send in plain text only". - … compress the attachment into a standard
zip
file before sending it. - … use another software to send his message, such as Thunderbird for example.
If you do not wish to contact them again:
- Use websites and free online tools to decrypt the content and convert the "
winmail.dat
" file into a more or less readable format…

This guide explains how to report a phishing attempt you may be a victim of.
Introduction
- Phishing is a fraudulent attempt to obtain sensitive information deceitfully.
- Generally, the victim receives an email that appears to come from Infomaniak, their bank, or a trusted organization, indicating that an issue has occurred with their account or in their daily life:
- The goal of this identity theft is generally to get the user to voluntarily go to a page and share private information that will then be exploited for various purposes, mainly financial.
Report a Phishing Email
Prerequisites
- Check that the spam filter is active.
- For added security, enable the external mail indicator.
Next:
- Click here to access the Infomaniak Mail web app (online service mail.infomaniak.com).
- Open the phishing message
- Click on the action menu â‹® on the right.
- From the menu that appears, select
Report as phishing
:
- Confirm sending for processing.
- Delete the email
Once you have clicked on Report as phishing, an email is automatically sent to Infomaniak with all the information needed to process the scam report.
In case of a more serious issue (when the message is directly sent to you by an acquaintance or contact, and not as part of a mass mailing) it is recommended to contact an organization such as www.report.ncsc.admin.ch.
This guide explains how to add or modify one or more SPF records in the DNS zone (of a domain name) managed on the Manager Infomaniak.
Preamble
- If your domain name is registered with Infomaniak, your email is managed by Infomaniak but your website is hosted with another provider (Wix for example) you probably manage the DNS zone (and therefore the SPF) with this other provider: refer to this other guide on the subject.
Understanding SPF records
The SPF (Sender Policy Framework) record type is a standard for verifying the domain name of the sender of an email and aims to reduce spam.
It indicates which server is or is not allowed to send emails for a domain.
If the SPF fails for an email, this means that it was not sent from an authorized server/ IP address by the administrator of the sending domain.
The email is then considered as spam.
Moreover, Infomaniak automatically installs this type of record when creating a Mail Service on your domain (strict SPF):
v=spf1 include:spf.infomaniak.ch -all
Thus, the recipient server of the email you send will evaluate that any email not coming from Infomaniak servers will be rejected. This prevents malicious individuals from impersonating email addresses from your domain.
You can also decide to modify the SPF for a more flexible model:
v=spf1 include:spf.infomaniak.ch ?all
In this case, the recipient server of the email you send will evaluate, according to its own rules, whether it accepts emails not coming from Infomaniak servers.
In summary:
?
: the receiving server accepts the message even if the sender is not listed in the SPF~
: the receiving server generally accepts the message if the sender is not listed in the SPF but flags it as suspicious-
: the receiving server rejects the message if it is not listed in the SPF (recommended)
Add a SPF via a TXT record
Refer to this other guide to manage this type of record in a DNS zone.
Add multiple SPF
If you use other mail providers in addition to Infomaniak, you must obtain their SPF and then merge it with Infomaniak's according to a specific syntax.
Example of 3 SPF to merge:
- Infomaniak's:
v=spf1 include:spf.infomaniak.ch -all
- Those of 2 secondary providers:
v=spf1 include:the-second-domain.xyz ?all
v=spf1 include:the-other-domain.xyz ~all
... the final SPF to be inserted into your DNS zone must be in the following form:
v=spf1 include:spf.infomaniak.ch include:the-second-domain.xyz include:the-other-domain.xyz -all
Delete any other SPF entry from your domain's DNS zone! Any DNS addition or modification can take up to 48 hours to propagate.
SPF quantity limits
Multiple SPF records are limited to a maximum of 10 inclusions.
The Infomaniak SPF already includes 4 entries:
include:relay.mail.infomaniak.ch
include:app.mail.infomaniak.ch
include:newsletter.infomaniak.com
include:amazonses.com
Check the SPF record(s)
The global security tool on the Infomaniak Manager allows for easy verification and correction of any problematic records.
In case of a problem, it is recommended to analyze your domain name on MxToolbox to check if your SPF contains syntax errors, too many inclusions, or any other issue that could lead to an error:
… or directly at the address https://mxtoolbox.com/spf.aspx.
