This guide explains how to create and then automatically add a signature to messages sent from the Infomaniak Mail Web app (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/mail).
COMPATIBILITY my kSuite âś— | my kSuite+ âś” âś”= Compatible offer | âś—= 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 answering machine; it is necessary to add one in the out-of-office message directly.
- One or more signatures can be added from Mail and from the Manager where all the 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 Infomaniak Web Mail app (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/mail) to manage your address, it is possible that the Mail Service manager has removed this right from their admin account.
To access signature management:
- Click here to access the Infomaniak Web Mail 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 concerned in the dropdown menu of the left sidebar.
- Click on Signatures:
Access signatures from Mail Service
To access the Mail Service and signature management:
- 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 the concerned email address in the displayed table
- Click on Answering Machine and Signatures in the left sidebar:
Create and edit the signature
Two choices are available to you:
- Click on Add to create a new signature.
- Click on the pencil icon ✎ next to an existing signature to modify it.
Then:
- Choose an existing template (template) if desired.
- Give a name to the signature.
- Specify a name for your identity (it will be displayed next to your email address in messages received by your correspondents).
- Create the content of the signature in the frame provided for this purpose (see below the formatting possibilities)
- Choose whether or not to share the signature with all users of the Mail address.
- Click on Advanced Settings to choose the location 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 the Signature button.
Signature formatting
You can use an image, edit the HTML source code and format your text using a palette of tools.
To avoid a line break that is too spaced out, use the caps lock key in conjunction with the ENTER key on your keyboard, which will be equivalent to the HTML tag <br>
that causes a line break instead of a new paragraph.
Set a default signature
To choose the signature used by default under certain conditions:
- Click here to access your signatures on the Infomaniak Mail web app.
- Check or select the email address concerned in the dropdown menu of the left sidebar.
- Choose the signature that will be inserted by default when composing:
- a new message
- a reply/forward
By defining a default signature from, it will be automatically displayed in the body of the email when composing. You will still have the option to change the signature.
There is a case where the default signature will not be the one automatically inserted by default when composing a message: see point 9 of this other guide.
Select the signature when composing
When you start composing a new message:
- The signature is automatically inserted.
- If multiple signatures exist, you can choose 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 comes from 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 in edit mode,
- they can enter dynamic values such as the sender's name or personal data that may be requested such as profession or phone number,
- they can also modify the advanced settings of the signature (such as its position in the case of a reply/forward) but to date, this setting is common to all users of the signature (1)
When a signature has been created directly without a template:
- if the signature is created from a predefined model:
- the same behavior as the previous point, namely a signature created from a template
- if the signature was created via the advanced editor:
- users have access to the signature content in edit mode, but be careful, this content is shared; if Morgane modifies the content, Vanessa will have the same content once she has reloaded her Infomaniak Mail interface,
- only the sender's name is specific to the user and there are no dynamic values in this type of case,
- 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 at the user level. For example, within the same email account, the signature chosen by default 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 define 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 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):

This guide explains how to create sorting rules to automatically classify your incoming emails on Infomaniak according to certain conditions.
Preamble
- These rules allow the following automatic actions:
- Delete or move messages from email addresses you no longer want to see.
- Forward to your spouse emails from an email address so that both of you can receive them.
- Copy messages that contain 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 a template for all the addresses of your Mail Service.
- If you use an email software/client configured in POP, in parallel with Mail, messages classified in folders will no longer be downloaded by your application because the POP protocol only retrieves messages that are in your main inbox. To view classified messages, it will be necessary to use the IMAP protocol or only Infomaniak Mail.
Access the rules from the Infomaniak Web Mail app
Prerequisites
- Have a paid email offer (free offers are limited to Standard mode without the possibility of creating a filter to forward an email to another email address, for example).
- Have permission to manage rules: if you had been invited to the Infomaniak Web Mail app (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/mail) to manage your address, it is possible that the Mail Service manager has revoked this right from their admin account.
To access the sorting filters for your Infomaniak mail:
- Click here to access the Infomaniak Web Mail app (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/mail).
- Click on the Settings icon in the top right.
- Check or select the email address concerned in the dropdown menu.
- Click on Filters and rules:
Define a rule based on a received email
You can also create a rule directly from the received email:
- Click here to access the Infomaniak Web Mail app (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/mail).
- Open the message from the sender in question.
- Click on the action menu â‹® at the top right of the open message.
- Choose Create a rule to open the creation assistant which will be pre-filled with the elements of the message:
Access rules from the Mail Service
To access the sorting filters for your Infomaniak mail:
- 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 tab Filters and rules from the left sidebar:
Configure filters & sorting rules
Create a new rule in Standard mode
- Click on the button Add a rule in Standard mode to create a new rule using an assistant/creation form:
- The different 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 at the top right of the table:
These settings can be modified when you want by clicking on the pencil ✎ icon located to the right of the item in question.
Create a new rule in Advanced (expert) mode
If you don't know what you're doing, it is recommended to stay in Standard mode so as not to disrupt the sorting filters of your account ⚠️ No support is provided regarding the Sieve language (refer to this documentation — also discover the role of the host).
- 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 enabling this mode, existing rules will be preserved 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
andnl
already exist in your inbox; otherwise, the 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 example of advanced sorting
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] ${1}";
}
fileinto "Mail List/SL-Devel";
}
Explanations:
- Required extensions:
fileinto
: to file messages in folders.editheader
: to modify email headers.variables
: to use variables in expressions.regex
: for regular expressions.
- Condition on the sender:
if address "sender" "owner-scientific-linux-devel at LISTSERV.FNAL.GOV"
: checks if the sender matches.
- Condition on the subject :
if header :regex "subject" "((Re|Fwd): *)\\[SCIENTIFIC-LINUX-DEVEL\\] *(.*)"
: checks if the subject matches the specified pattern.deleteheader "Subject";
andaddheader "Subject" "${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 a prefix "[SL-Devel]" to the subject if it is not already present.
- Message classification :
fileinto "Mail List/SL-Devel";
: files messages into the "Mail List/SL-Devel" folder.
Warning:
- Make sure the folder "
Mail List/SL-Devel
" already exists in your inbox. - Check that the script correctly modifies the email subject 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 (Phishing, Fishing, Filoutage...) of which you may be a victim.
Preamble
- Phishing is an attempt at fraud and scam, aiming to obtain sensitive information fraudulently.
- Generally, the victim receives in their inbox a message appearing to come from Infomaniak, their bank, or a trusted organization, indicating that a problem has occurred on their account or in their daily life:
- The goal of this identity theft is generally for the user to voluntarily go to a page and communicate private information that will then be exploited for various purposes, mainly financial.
If you find an email of this type in your inbox, you have the possibility to act (see below) so that these messages decrease and eventually disappear from the messaging systems.
Report a Phishing Email
Prerequisites
- Check that the spam filter is active.
- For added security, enable the mention of external mail.
Then:
- Click here to access the Infomaniak Mail Web App (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/mail).
- 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
As soon as you click on Report as phishing, an email is automatically sent to Infomaniak with all the information necessary to process the scam report.
In case of a more serious problem (when the message is sent directly to you by an acquaintance or contact without it being a mass mailing) it is recommended to contact an organization such as for example www.report.ncsc.admin.ch.
This guide explains how to add or modify one or more SPF type 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 are probably managing the DNS zone (and therefore the SPF) with this other provider: refer to this other guide on this subject.
Understanding SPF type 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 is used to indicate which server is authorized or not 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 installs this type of record automatically 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 it is not listed in the SPF but identifies it as suspicious-
: the receiving server rejects the message if it is not listed in the SPF (recommended)
Add an SPF via a TXT record
Refer to this other guide to manage this type of record in a DNS zone.
Add multiple SPFs
If you use other email providers in addition to Infomaniak, you need to obtain their SPF and then merge it with Infomaniak's according to a specific syntax.
Having multiple distinct SPF records will cause errors. It is essential to group multiple SPFs in the same TXT!
Example of 3 SPFs to merge:
- That of Infomaniak:
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 in your DNS zone must be in the form:
v=spf1 include:spf.infomaniak.ch include:the-second-domain.xyz include:the-other-domain.xyz -all
Delete any other SPF entry from the DNS zone of your domain! Any DNS addition/modification can take up to 48 hours to propagate.
Limit of the number of SPF
Multiple SPFs are limited to a maximum of 10 inclusions.
The Infomaniak SPF usually already includes 4 inclusions:
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 you to easily check and correct any problematic records you may have.
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 other issues that could lead to an error:
… or directly at the address https://mxtoolbox.com/spf.aspx.
