This way, you can inform your correspondents that you are unable to respond to them immediately, as you are away, on vacation, etc.

 

Introduction

  • The automatic reply when absent can be activated from the Infomaniak Mail web app (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/mail) and from the Manager where all addresses of a Mail Service are managed.
  • You can activate or deactivate a previously saved message, but there cannot be multiple active out-of-office replies on the same email address: activating one message will deactivate another if necessary.

 

Activate the out-of-office reply from the Infomaniak Mail web app

Prerequisites

To activate the out-of-office message:

  1. Click here to access the Infomaniak Mail web app (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/mail).
  2. Click on the Settings icon at the top right.
  3. Check or select the email address concerned in the dropdown menu of the left sidebar.

  2. Click directly on the name assigned to the product concerned:
  3. Click on the email address concerned in the table that appears:
  4. Click on the Answering Machine menu in the left sidebar.
  5. Activate the automatic message if necessary or read below:

 

Write the out-of-office message

  1. To manage the message that should be automatically sent in response, click on Add:

    Then:
    1. Enter a name for your answering machine (to distinguish it from other messages if you create several).
    2. Define whether the automatic response should be provided on a recurring basis on specific days of the week.
    3. Define an end date/time if the message should no longer be sent after a certain period.
    4. Define a start date/time if the message is scheduled in advance for a specific period in the future.
    5. Write your out-of-office message.
    6. Display advanced settings.
    7. Define another email address that will be used to send your automatic out-of-office message (the address must be verified first).

    9. Click the blue button at the bottom right to Add the message.
  2. Once added, you can activate or deactivate it.
  3. You can also edit a message already saved by the pencil icon ✎ on the right:

 

How often is the automatic response sent?

Your response is sent only once to people who send you messages.

However, if the same sender sends you a new email 7 days after the previous one and if your automatic reply is still activated, an automatic response is sent to them again to remind them that you do not have access to your mailbox.

Be careful if you test it on your address, it is normal that it works only the first time. During subsequent tests, the answering machine no longer sends the message when it detects that the message comes from an address that has already sent a message before. You will therefore need to try again from another email address.

You can reset the 7-day counter by clicking on Reset when you edit your message:

This guide explains how to transfer to Infomaniak a Gmail email address hosted by Google. Refer to this other guide if you are looking for information on importing custom domain addresses.

 

Preamble

  • The operation does not affect either the data already present on the destination address or that of the source address.
  • Any duplicates are managed: identical content will only be copied once.
  • If necessary, local partners referenced by Infomaniak can handle these procedures: launch a free call for tenders; they take care of everything, freeing you from technical details.

 

Transferring emails from Gmail to Infomaniak

Prerequisites

 

a. Recreate the email address(es) on Infomaniak

If you have many (10+) email addresses to create, follow this procedure for bulk creation.

Access the Infomaniak Mail Service and create the email addresses:

  1. Click here to access the management of your product on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
  2. Click directly on the name assigned to the product concerned.
  3. Click the blue button Create an email address in the top right corner.
  4. Enter the address (what comes before the at sign @) for example contact or michelle.
  5. Click the blue Continue button.
  6. Select I will consult the email address alone.
  7. Click the blue Continue button.
  8. Enter a password.
  9. Click the blue Continue button.
  10. Click the blue Finish button.
  11. Restart at point 3 above to recreate all email addresses identically.

 

b. Import Gmail mail content to Infomaniak

Access the Infomaniak Mail Service and import your emails:

  1. Click here to access the management of your product on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
  2. Click directly on the name assigned to the product concerned.
  3. Click on the chevron in the right part of the blue Create an email address button.
  4. Click on Import emails (direct link).
  5. Click on Import my emails into a single email address.
  6. Enter the existing email address at Google.
    • By specifying that your previous address is a @gmail.com address, the assistant will offer to connect to your Gmail account.
  7. Click on the "Sign in with Google" button that has appeared.
    • Make sure you are logging into the Gmail account concerned by the email copy.
  8. Confirm that you authorize the Infomaniak tool to connect to your account (automatic procedure).
  9. Once the popup is validated, you will be able to choose which Infomaniak address to import your Gmail emails (if necessary, refer to this other guide from point 7).

 

Labels and data volume

The storage space displayed at Infomaniak may not correspond to the one indicated in Gmail, notably due to the different management of labels / tags.

Indeed, these, present in Gmail, will be converted into folders on the Infomaniak servers (same principle as when fetching mail with an IMAP email software/client like Thunderbird):

Therefore, an email labeled in several Gmail folders can be counted several times during the migration, which explains why an account displaying for example 6 GB in Gmail can occupy 18 GB once transferred to the Infomaniak servers.

Be patient when importing a large volume of emails; Gmail and Microsoft imports are intentionally slowed down (e.g., 1 GB/day bandwidth for Google) to avoid rejections from their side.

 

Adjust the application settings

As soon as you have taken the necessary steps to ensure that the domain name associated with your email works with Infomaniak, modify the settings of the email software/clients you use so that they connect correctly to the Infomaniak servers: follow the configuration assistant.

This guide explains how to create sorting rules in Advanced mode, scripts in Sieve language, to automatically classify your incoming emails on Infomaniak according to certain conditions.

 

⚠ Available with:

kSuiteFree
 Standard
 Business
 Enterprise
 my kSuite
 my kSuite+
Mail ServiceStarter 1 max. address
 Premium 5 min. addresses

 

Preamble

  • If you do not have a compatible offer or if you prefer a simplified configuration, refer to this other guide.
  • Unlike the sorting rules offered within email software/clients (Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, Apple Mail...), these rules will act directly on your mailbox server before even the IMAP connection.
  • It is possible to import Sieve files via a button.
  • By activating this mode, the existing standard rules will be kept but deactivated.
  • The redirect command (allowing to forward an email to another address) is not allowed in scripts.
    • If you import a Sieve script from another host, make sure to remove this command.
    • To forward emails, use the assistant in Standard mode or the Redirections section of your Mail Service.

 

Access rules from the Infomaniak Web Mail app

Prerequisites

  • Having permission to manage rules: if you had been invited to the Infomaniak Web app Mail (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.removed this right.

To access the sorting filters for your Infomaniak mailbox:

  1. Click here to access the Infomaniak Web app Mail (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/mail).
  2. Click on the Settings icon in the top right corner.
  3. Check or select the email address concerned in the dropdown menu.

  1. Click here to access the management of your product on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
  2. Click directly on the name assigned to the product concerned.
  3. Click on the email address concerned in the table that appears.
  4. Click on the Rules tab from the left sidebar (or top bar):

 

Create a new rule in Advanced (expert) mode

  • Make sure to click on Advanced mode:

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:

  1. Loading required extensions: use require ["fileinto"]; to indicate that you will use the fileinto function.
  2. 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 with fileinto "fb";.
  3. 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 with fileinto "nl";.
  4. Keeping other messages: use else { keep; } to keep all other messages that do not match the previous criteria.

Attention :

  • If you need to mention a subfolder, use the separator / (as in the second example), but it is not necessary to specify INBOX in your codes
  • Make sure that the folders fb and nl 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:

  1. Required extensions:
    1. fileinto: to classify messages into folders.
    2. editheader: to modify email headers.
    3. variables: to use variables in expressions.
    4. regex: for regular expressions.
  2. Condition on the sender:
    1. if address "sender" "owner-scientific-linux-devel at LISTSERV.FNAL.GOV": checks if the sender matches.
  3. Condition on the subject:
    1. if header :regex "subject" "((Re|Fwd): *)\\[SCIENTIFIC-LINUX-DEVEL\\] *(.*)": checks if the subject matches the specified pattern.
    2. deleteheader "Subject"; and addheader "Subject" "${1}${3}";: deletes the existing subject and adds a new subject with the captured parts.
  4. Adding a prefix if the subject does not already match the pattern:
    1. addheader "Subject" "[SL-Devel] ${1}";: adds a prefix "[SL-Devel]" to the subject if it is not already present.
  5. Classifying the message:
    1. fileinto "Mail List/SL-Devel";: classifies messages into the "Mail List/SL-Devel" folder.

Attention :

  • Make sure that the folder Mail List/SL-Devel already exists in your inbox.
  • Check that the script correctly modifies the subject of the emails to add or adjust the prefix if necessary.

This guide explains how to quickly share content from the Web app kDrive Infomaniak (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/kdrive) by email.

 

Share by email from kDrive

You can email a file (or rather a link to a file, as the email will not contain an attachment) from your kDrive:

  1. Click here to access the Web app kDrive (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/kdrive).
  2. Right-click on the file/folder in question or click on the action menu to the right of the item in question.
  3. From the dropdown menu that appears, choose to share the item by email:
  4. Choose which address (from those currently linked to your Web app Mail) to send the file from.
  5. Click on Continue
  6. The Web app Mail opens in the browser and the body of the message automatically contains the links to the shared content: 
    1. This is exactly the same method as if you select the file directly from the kDrive icon on the composition window of the Web Mail app
    2. However, by doing this (linking a kDrive file from Mail directly), an additional choice allows you to attach the file itself, as an attachment (the file will be sent in the state it is in at the moment you select it; there is no longer any notion of collaboration / sharing as is the case with the method explained in this guide and in the choice of point “a” above).

 

Invite to collaborate on the file

For documents with Office-type file extensions .docx, .xls, etc., it is recommended to perform a standard share of the document (see the image below) which allows you to authorize the modification of the document if you wish: 

  • If you authorize the modification of the document from kDrive, the user will be able to collaborate (with or without prior registration) i.e. modify in their browser and then save the document you have shared:

This guide explains how to enable two-factor authentication, or two-step verification, to secure the connection to your Infomaniak account (and consequently access to kSuite tools, hosting, etc.).

 

Preamble

  • This two-step validation, also known as multi-factor / two-factor authentication (2FA, in English two-factor authentication, 2FA) protects access to your Infomaniak account by:
    1. your chosen password
    2. and a second identity verification method, such as a code obtained on your mobile device, for example.
  • If a malicious person manages to decipher or steal your password, they would still need a validation code that only the legitimate user can obtain on their mobile device.
  • Refer to this other guide if you are an administrator of an Organization and wish to enforce 2FA for all users who have not yet activated it.

 

Enable two-step verification

To increase the security level of your Infomaniak account:

  1. Click here to log in and access the management of two-factor authentication on the Infomaniak Manager.
  2. Once logged in, you can choose a 2FA method:
    1. the kAuth app for iOS / Android devices
    2. another method (see below).

 

Request for connection authorization via Infomaniak apps

  1. From the moment you activate 2FA by configuring one of the methods presented below, it is automatically the Infomaniak apps (Mail, Euria, kDrive...) that allow you to validate the connection when connecting from another device:
  2. You can, of course, request on a case-by-case basis to receive the validation request on one of the other registered methods:
  3. In this case, you access the different 2FA methods already registered on your account:

 

The different validation methods

At point a above, you can download and configure the iOS / Android app kAuth (refer to this other guide on this subject):

  • It allows you to receive a push notification YES / NO to authorize or not the connection to your Infomaniak account.
  • It also generates a one-time code, including offline, to allow connection.

At point b above, you can choose another method from:

  1. any OTP application (such as Authy for example) to obtain a one-time code
  2. YubiKey (from Yubico)
  3. SMS (only for countries CH / FR / BE / DE) to obtain a one-time code

Then click the button to add the method and follow the on-screen information to complete the setup.

In all cases, carefully note the backup codes offered for download after each configuration.

 

Be careful with existing synchronizations

Once strong authentication is activated, to access certain tools (synchronization for example) it is necessary to create application passwords.

It is not necessary to call Infomaniak, which does not have any of your codes & passwords in its possession. For any request for help regarding 2FA, refer to this other guide.

 

Modify the default option or remove one

If you have activated multiple validation methods (SMS, OTP application…), you can define the one that will be proposed by default for each connection.

Note, however, that the default method will remain that of validation in the Infomaniak app installed (Mail, kChat, kDrive…) on your devices.

  1. Click here to log in and access the management of two-factor authentication on the Infomaniak Manager.
  2. Click the button to set as default.
  3. Click on the trash can to remove and no longer propose the selected method:

To completely remove 2FA, refer to this other guide.

 

Authenticate each time the browser is opened

To request not to keep cookies when closing browser windows, and therefore request authentication each time you access the Infomaniak Manager when you restart the browser…

Specify in the Google Chrome settings (chrome://settings/content/siteData to paste in the address bar or refer to the official documentation) the address [*.]infomaniak.com:

This guide explains how to obtain your email address(es) from the Swiss host Infomaniak.

 

Preamble

  • Except for some free offers, an email address at Infomaniak is always created within an Email Service, and this Email Service revolves around a custom domain name that must exist and be configured for the email to work.
  • Example: you want the address jean.dupont@domain.xyz then you need:
    1. Own the domain namedomain.xyz”.
    2. Obtain an Email Servicedomain.xyz”.
    3. Create the email addressjean.dupont”.
  • All of this is offered and requested in the ordering process on infomaniak.com (see below), preceded by the creation of a mandatory user account (for which you will need to provide your personal email address, or an address that already exists in any case).
  • If the corresponding domain name is already registered with an external registrar, you may need to enter the correct MX record in the DNS zone.

 

Order email addresses from Infomaniak

Before or after your registration:

  • Click here to choose the offer that suits you and let yourself be guided through the process to start using the email services.
  • Once the Email Service is ordered, you will be able to create email addresses and associated passwords.

 

Add an additional Email Service

To add a new Email Service (to obtain new addresses on another domain):

  1. Click here to access the management of your product on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
  2. Click on the shopping cart icon above the table that appears:

Increase the number of available email addresses on an existing Email Service

To increase if necessary the quota of free addresses available, refer to this other guide.

 

Once the Email Service is activated

Create your email addresses.

Configure your emails on your computer and your devices.

Synchronize your contacts & calendars on your devices.

Restore the content (including that from another provider).

This guide details the two main types of identifiers. They are distinct, even if the address format can be identical.

 

Infomaniak Account vs Email Address

Here is a summary of these 2 types of identifiers:

of your Infomaniak services.

What to do in case of a connection problem?

It is not necessary to contact Infomaniak Support (who does not have any of your passwords)…

 

Explanations

  1. Like many other online services, you registered with Infomaniak using a personal email address.
  2. This personal email address serves as your login identifier when you want to access Infomaniak services.
  3. This login identifier has its own password (set when creating your Infomaniak user account – your personal email address, see above).

There is no link between…

  • … this identifier/password pair described in points 1/2/3 above…
  • … and the email addresses you have created or obtained subsequently with Infomaniak.

A link might exist if the address is the same (for example, you signed up with the email address toto@abc.xyz and you also manage this same email address at Infomaniak) but even in this case, the password will probably be different — once for the login identifier toto@abc.xyz and once for the email address toto@abc.xyz.

 

Other identifiers?

Acquiring other Infomaniak products involves obtaining other identifiers, such as those required for FTP, MySQL, SSH, WebDAV connections, etc., but these identifiers are completely independent of the two types described above.

This guide explains how to disable two-factor authentication, also known as two-factor authentication (2FA) or two-step verification for logging in to the Infomaniak Manager (manager.infomaniak.com) or Mail Infomaniak (ksuite.infomaniak.com/mail).

 

Preamble

  • For security reasons, Infomaniak support will never disable a login validation method activated on an account upon a simple request.
    • You must absolutely follow the procedures below.
  • Attention, if you were using the SMS authentication method, once deactivated, you will only be able to re-enable this method if you are domiciled in CH / FR / BE / DE.
    • Outside of these countries, you will need to use kAuth or any OTP application.

 

Disable 2FA

If two-step verification is enabled and you wish to disable it:

  1. Click here to access 2FA management on the Infomaniak Manager.
  2. Click the Remove button to remove the security:
    1. If the red button is inactive / grayed out
    2. …there is probably an upstream security option that prevents you from disabling 2FA:
  3. Enter the password to log in to your account.

 

In case of a problem

Obviously, the procedure above requires logging in one last time with two-factor authentication in order to then be able to disable it.

If you do not have access to the kAuth application or the device that receives the validation SMS, there is no point in calling Infomaniak; in this case, no choice, you will have to provide a number of security elements manually or via the Infomaniak Check (kCheck) app to regain access to your account:

  1. Click here to access the Infomaniak Manager login page.
  2. Enter the username and correct password.
  3. When prompted for additional authentication, click on alternative methods:
  4. Choose to enter one of your recovery codes if you had downloaded the sheet when activating 2FA:
  5. Otherwise, select the last option to request help to access the form allowing you to submit your identity documents and recognition selfie:
  6. Follow the procedure to the end and wait:
