This guide explains why you may receive an automatic security email regarding your Infomaniak account (i.e., your user account).

 

Introduction

  • Warning: fake messages are circulating and imitate Infomaniak's security email.
  • If you are unsure about the authenticity of the warning, access the Infomaniak Manager and check the recent activity instead of clicking on any potentially malicious link that may be present in the fake message.

 

Automated security alerts

 

1. Login from a new location

A security email is automatically sent when a new connection to your Infomaniak account occurs from a new location:

This can happen, for example, if you are using your browser's private browsing mode or if you are accessing your account from a new computer.

If you receive this email immediately after logging into your Infomaniak account, you can safely ignore the login alert!

 

2. Login attempt (incorrect password)

A security email is automatically sent when someone enters an incorrect password after entering the email address to log in to the Manager:

 

View recent activity in the Manager

You can view the recent activities of your account and those of your Infomaniak Organization:

If you notice any illegitimate actions that you don't believe you performed, and/or if you suspect an intrusion:

  1. Refer to this other guide to quickly secure your tools.
  2. Enable two-factor authentication on your account to improve its protection and ensure that only you receive a unique code authorizing login.
  3. Change the Manager password.
  4. Change the passwords for the email addresses associated with Mail Infomaniak.

This guide explains how, when you belong to multiple Organizations, to switch from displaying one Organization to anothervia the Infomaniak Mail web interface (ksuite.infomaniak.com/mail) to access the email addresses associated with each of them.

 

Introduction

  • Every email address hosted with Infomaniak is linked to a specific Organization, the one in which the Mail service is created.
  • The Mail web interface displays the email addresses linked to the currently selected Organization.
  • To view a different email address belonging to another organization, simply switch to the corresponding Organization.
  • The principle is the same in the interface where you manage your products, the Infomaniak Manager (refer to this other guide).

 

Switching Between Organizations in Mail Infomaniak

To display the email addresses present in another Organization to which your Infomaniak account is linked:

  1. Click here to log in to the Infomaniak Mail web interface.
  2. Click on the name of the active Organization or on the chevron located at the top left of the interface:
  3. In the drop-down menu that appears, click on the name of the Organization you want to access:
  4. The interface updates immediately and loads the list of email addresses authorized for this Organization:
    • Repeat the procedure from step 2 to switch to another Organization at any time.

This guide explains how to temporarily postpone an email until a specific date/time, using the Infomaniak Mail web app (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/mail).

 

Introduction

  • You can also put emails on hold using the Infomaniak Mail mobile app (application for iOS/Android smartphones or tablets).
  • You can put a maximum total of 1000 conversations from the inbox on hold, for a maximum of 1 year (this hold can be stopped or its duration modified at any time).
  • kSuite Free / my kSuite / Mail Service Starter do not allow customization of the schedule when setting up an out-of-office reply.

 

How it works

When you put a conversation on hold (using the snooze or remind function):

  1. The conversation is moved to a "On Hold" folder, which is visible in the Mail app and displays the number of conversations on hold.
  2. If a new message arrives in a muted conversation, the muting will be automatically canceled, and the conversation will be visible in the inbox.
  3. When the deadline arrives:
    • The conversation automatically returns to the inbox, in the first position, with a special notification.
    • The message, until it is read, will display an indication "On hold since X" (X being the date on which the message returned to the inbox).

On a software/email client such as Outlook using IMAP:

  1. When put on hold, the conversation will remain in its initial position.
  2. If you manually move a message that has been put on hold, the feature will no longer be active for that message in the web app.
  3. When the due date arrives, the conversation will move to the top position, just like in the web app, and a standard "new message" notification will be displayed.

This guide will help you resolve an issue if, after sending an email, you receive a message indicating that the email was rejected due to "Spam Message Rejected" or "5.7.0 AV: Message is rejected by headers rule filter.. 554 Please check the message and try again" ...

 

You must check the following

Please check that your email did not contain:

  • words or phrases that are often associated with spam, as they could be identified as unwanted messages and rejected
  • any unusual indication in the signature, a link formulated incorrectly (http//.domain.xyz for example), etc.
  • an attachment with one of these prohibited extensions: .exe, .com, .cmd, .cpl, .hta, .scf, .sct, .lnk, .bat, .js, .jse, .wsh, .ws, .wsf, .wsc, .vbe, .vb, .vbs, .shs, .pif, .scr ... including inside a compressed file (e.g. .zip)

To send a file (e.g., a js or exe file) for which the absence of viruses has been confirmed, store it on your hosting space and create a link to it. If the file is large and you are sending it from the Infomaniak Mail web app (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/mail), it will in any case be placed on a temporary server, allowing it to be sent to your recipient, who will then receive a download link. Alternatively, use Swisstransfer.com.

 

Also, check your SPF record. If your domain does not have an SPF record or if this record is incorrect, your message will most likely be rejected.

If you believe you are receiving a "Spam Message Rejected" message without reason, contact Infomaniak support.

This guide explains how to transfer to Infomaniak email addresses currently hosted by Microsoft, within Microsoft 365, using an IMAP import tool.

 

Introduction

  • The operation does not affect either the data already present at the destination address or the data at the source address.
  • The entire external mailbox will be imported.
  • Once the import process has started, it is no longer possible to interrupt it.
  • Any duplicates will be handled: identical content will only be copied once.
  • Consult this other guide if you are looking for alternatives to this IMAP process.

 

Import your entire email history

 

1. Microsoft Prerequisites

  • Enable the POP/IMAP/SMTP features that are disabled by default (need help?).

 

2. Infomaniak Prerequisites

 

3. Import your email content from Microsoft to Infomaniak

  1. Click here to access the import tool (online service https://import-email.infomaniak.com).
  2. If necessary, log in to your Infomaniak account for the relevant organization. The import will be done to one of the email addresses associated with the Infomaniak Mail web interface (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/mail) of the Infomaniak account you are using.
  3. Click on the IMAP import option.
  4. Click on single import.
  5. Fill in the field on the left with your source email address (from which the content will be copied).

This guide explains why some attachments sent from Microsoft Outlook arrive in winmail.dat format at your email address hosted by Infomaniak, and how to permanently resolve the problem on the sender's side (where it is created).

 

Introduction

  • winmail.dat is the container used by Outlook/Exchange when a message is sent in RTF/TNEF format.
    • It encapsulates the formatting and attachments.
  • Many non-Microsoft software/email clients cannot interpret TNEF:
    • the formatting disappears, and the attachments become a single winmail.dat file.

 

Important: the generation of a winmail.dat file does not depend on Infomaniak; the issue originates with the sender (Outlook/Exchange) and must be resolved on their computer or by their Microsoft 365 administrator.

 

Resolving the issue (actions to request from the sender)

The most effective solution is to have the sender modify their Outlook configuration.

 

Disable RTF/TNEF and resend the message in HTML or plain text

  • Classic Outlook for Windows (Microsoft 365/2021/2019, Win32 application)
    Menu: File > Options > Mail
    Compose: Compose messages in the following format: choose HTML (or Plain Text).
    Message format: in When sending rich text messages to Internet recipients, select Convert to HTML (or Convert to plain text).
    On a case-by-case basis (single email): in the message window, Format Text tab > choose HTML.

 

  • New Outlook for Windows (application based on Outlook on the web)
    Menu: Settings (gear icon) > Mail > Compose and reply
    Message format: Compose messages in: choose HTML (or Plain text).
    This client does not offer an RTF option; sending in HTML/text avoids winmail.dat.

 

  • Outlook on the web (Exchange Online/Outlook.com)
    Menu: Settings > Mail > Compose and reply > Message format > choose HTML (or Plain text).

 

  • Outlook for Mac
    Menu: Outlook > Preferences > Writing > check/uncheck Write messages in HTML by default.
    For a single message: in the writing window, Options tab > toggle HTML or Plain Text.

 

Note: if the sender has attached files, they will be readable by all recipients as long as the message is sent in HTML/text. Zipping the attachments (.zip) does not prevent Outlook from encapsulating the message if RTF/TNEF is still active.

 

Disable RTF for specific recipients (e.g., yourself)

  • Classic Windows Outlook: open the Contact card > double-click the email address > Outlook Properties > Internet format: select Send in plain text only (or Let Outlook decide if the administrator is already forcing the conversion).

 

  • Clear the auto-complete (it may “memorize” RTF for a recipient): File > Options > Mail > Send messages > Clear the auto-complete list, then retype the address manually the next time you send a message.

 

  • Microsoft 365 administrators (on the sender's side): in the Exchange Admin Center: Mail flow > Remote domains > Default > Rich Text Format: choose Never. In PowerShell: Set-RemoteDomain Default -TNEFEnabled $false.

 

If this doesn't work: use another email client to send the invitation (e.g. Thunderbird), or check that calendar invitations are sent in iCalendar format (File > Options > Calendar > enable Use the iCalendar format for external recipients).

 

If you do not wish to contact the sender again

You can extract the content of winmail.dat using TNEF decoding tools (online or desktop applications). Search for “open winmail.dat” and choose a reputable tool for your system (Windows, macOS, Linux). This usually restores the attachments, but it is not a permanent solution. Furthermore, confidentiality and security are in no way guaranteed during these operations.

This guide explains which protocols and ports can be used with Infomaniak's email services (including the Mail Service).

 

Recommended ports and settings for client configuration

When prompted during the configuration of software/email client (Outlook, Thunderbird, mobile, etc.), use the following settings:

 IMAPs - Incoming Traffic (Recommended)SMTP - Outgoing Traffic (Option 1: standard IETF)SMTPs - Outgoing Traffic (Option 2: Implicit encryption)
Ports993587465
Security MechanismSSL / TLS (implicit)STARTTLS (explicit)SSL / TLS (implicit)
Server Namemail.infomaniak.com
AuthenticationRequired (username = full email address)

Technical note: Port 587 with STARTTLS is the IETF standard practice for secure email submission. Port 465 is a secure alternative using implicit encryption.

If you specify other settings or disable encryption, email errors may occur.

 

Other supported ports (non-encrypted or for backward compatibility)

  • port 143 (Standard port for IMAP reception - unencrypted, use 993)
  • port 110 (Standard port for POP3 reception - unencrypted, use 995)
  • port 995 (Secure port for POP3s reception - secure POP3 option)
  • port 25 (Standard port for server-to-server transfer - can support STARTTLS for submission, but 587 is the standard for clients).
  • STARTTLS authentication is supported on unencrypted ports (143, 110, 25) to enable TLS encryption.
  • SMTP authentication is supported (LOGIN or PLAIN methods).

 

Using the API and Securing Transfers

The Infomaniak API does not offer any connection to the email service, as IMAP and SMTP are the "APIs". Use a library (such as Python: email.examples and imaplib) that uses IMAP and SMTP.

To display emails from PHP:
imap_open("{mail.infomaniak.com:993/imap/ssl}", $email, $password);

The MTA-STS mechanism is not implemented or verified; Infomaniak uses DANE (DNS-based Authentication of Named Entities) instead to guarantee an encrypted connection between servers when the following conditions are met:

  • The client sends an email to a domain that has configured DANE.
  • The client receives an email from an SMTP server that uses DANE.
  • In all other cases (in the absence of DANE), the encrypted connection remains opportunistic.

  • 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 email address & (?)
  • Password = the password generated for the email address you want to access (❓: my kSuite | Mail Service/kSuite).
  • Mandatory authentication for sending emails:
    • Enable it 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 (the complete email address) and the generated password.

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

 

In case of a problem

Check that the Mail service is configured optimally.

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 troubleshooting guides will help you resolve any potential issues:

This guide details the security measures implemented as part of Infomaniak's email services to detect abusive and abnormal use of an email address. These measures protect you from malicious use of your computer or account.

 

Number of recipients per email sent

Regardless of the email plan you choose, whether free or paid, the total number of recipients listed on an email is limited to 100.

This restriction applies regardless of the field used to enter the email addresses of the recipients (To, CC, or BCC).

For sending emails to a large number of recipients, it is strongly recommended to use a Newsletter tool such as the one offered by Infomaniak.

 

Other email limits

This guide details how to disable the SMTP protocol, thereby preventing a specific user from sending emails from a specific email address.

 

Introduction

  • Removing an user’s sending permission will prevent them from sending a message (new, reply, reaction, etc.) from the Infomaniak Mail web app (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/mail) and the mobile app.
  • If the user in question is also specified in the connected devices, sending will also be impossible from a software/email client such as Outlook, Apple Mail, Thunderbird, etc.
  • There is a specific permission regarding out-of-office messages if you also want to prevent this type of message from being sent.

 

Prevent a user from sending messages from a specific email address

New user

Do you want to allow a new colleague to view a mail address (be able to read incoming emails) but without allowing them to send new messages?

  1. Click here to access the management of your Mail Service in the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
  2. Click directly on the name assigned to the Mail Service in question:
  3. Click on the relevant email address in the table that appears:
  4. Click to Add a new user:
  5. In this example, the collaborator is external, so click to Create an invitation link.
  6. Click to manage the permissions for this user on the relevant email address:
  7. Click on Email Sending to revoke their sending privileges.
  8. Save the change:
  9. Click Add to complete the invitation:
  10. Enter the email address to which the invitation should be sent.
  11. Click on Send:

The invited user accepts the invitation: they can then access the email address and its messages, but the button to compose a new message will remain grayed out, preventing them from drafting an email (or even replying, reacting, etc., as these buttons will also be grayed out/disabled):

 

Prevent sending to an existing user

Do you want to allow collaborators to continue viewing a mail address (i.e., be able to read incoming emails) but prevent them from sending new messages?

  1. Click here to access the management of your Mail Service in the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
  2. Click directly on the name assigned to the Mail Service in question:
  3. Click on the email address in the table that appears:
  4. Click on Sending emails to remove the sending permission:

The user can then access the email address and its messages, but the button to compose a new message will remain grayed out, preventing them from drafting an email (or even replying, reacting, etc., as these buttons will also be grayed out/disabled):

 

Prevent sending from an SMTP email client/software

If you want to prevent a user from sending emails from a mail client or any fixed or mobile device containing an SMTP email app, start by following the steps above.

You will then need to create a password (= "connected device") linked to this user (therefore, in step 8 of this other guide, instead of “No user”, you will need to specify the ID of the relevant collaborator, who has already been added in the users tab):

This will configure the software/email client to receive emails but will prevent it from sending any, continuously causing an error (password request) if the user insists on sending an email:

This guide explains how to copy the content of one or more external email addresses (all email messages, folders, subfolders, in short, the entire structure of your existing email account with other providers) to one or more of your existing addresses at Infomaniak, thanks to the Infomaniak import tool!

 

Introduction

  • It's easy to migrate your entire email tree to Infomaniak – discover the offers.
  • This operation does not affect the data already present in the destination address, nor the data in the source address.
  • The entire external mailbox will be imported as a copy.
  • Once the import process has started, it is no longer possible to interrupt it.
  • Any potential duplicates are handled: identical content will only be copied once.

 

Start copying to an Infomaniak email address

Several options are available for importing emails:

  1. You want to copy emails already present in Infomaniak (e.g. @ik.me) to another mailbox also hosted at Infomaniak?
  2. You have a file/archive in MBOX format and want to import it directly into an existing address on Infomaniak?
    • Refer to this other guide to import the content of the .mbox file and thus import your emails, regardless of their origin, into Infomaniak.
    • This is ideal for easily transferring content from Google, as an MBOX file can be easily obtained via Google Takeout.
  3. If you were unable to obtain an MBOX file of your emails, you can copy emails from an external provider using the IMAP import tool; click on the link corresponding to the email provider you want to import:
  4. You can also simply set up an email redirect, but this will only take effect on future emails that arrive in your inbox.
