This guide explains how a domain name and a DNS zone work.
Preamble
- When you browse a website
https://www.abc123.xyz
for example,abc123.xyz
is the domain name. - Each domain name has DNS (Domain Name System), which indicate where (with which provider, for example) the DNS zone is located.
- The DNS zone then allows the management of various services related to the domain name to be entrusted to different providers.
- For a unique domain name, it is possible, for example, to entrust:
- web hosting to provider X (via the "
A
" type record) - and the Mail Service to provider Y (via the "
MX
" type record)
- web hosting to provider X (via the "
- For a unique domain name, it is possible, for example, to entrust:
Domain name, DNS and DNS zone, then services
Who manages what?
- Each domain name is reserved and managed by a registrar (registration office). For example, Infomaniak is a registrar, one of the cheapest in Switzerland.
- The DNS of a domain name are configured with the registrar managing the domain name.
- The DNS zone can be handled by the registrar or another provider.
- Web hosting and the Mail Service can be handled by any host.
In the most complex case, it is therefore possible to have 1 different provider for the following services: domain name reservation and DNS management, DNS zone management, web hosting, Mail Service.
The following diagram summarizes these different possibilities with the involvement of different providers:
Infomaniak
As a registrar and host, Infomaniak can manage all these services. It's the simplest solution.
- In the case of Infomaniak, the DNS are generally of the form nsXX.infomaniak.com and nsXX.infomaniak.com (XX like 11 or 12 for example).
- You can modify the DNS of your domain name, as well as modify the "inside" of these DNS i.e. modify the DNS zone of a domain name.
And in these DNS zones, to redirect traffic to services, we distinguish:
- an MX record that allows you to point a domain name (
domain.xyz
for example) to a mail server. - an A record that allows you to point a domain name (
domain.xyz
for example) or a subdomain (example.domain.xyz
for example) to a web server that has a static IP address (otherwise you would have to constantly edit the A record to provide the new IP address - see this other guide on this subject)

Infomaniak support is also at your disposal by email, chat or phone if needed.
This guide explains the differences between the IMAP and POP3 connection protocols from a software/email client (Outlook, Microsoft 365, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, eM Client, etc.) and why you should never use them at the same time with (among others) an email address managed by Infomaniak.
Advantages of IMAP / IMAP4
With IMAP, emails remain on the server and are therefore accessible from any internet-connected device via the web app **Mail** (online service mail.infomaniak.com) or the mobile app **Mail** ( application for iOS/Android smartphone or tablet).
Practical if your connection is permanent, if you want to access all your messages from multiple locations simultaneously (at home, on the go, while traveling, etc.) and if several users share a service mailbox from different workstations.
You will always have the same view of messages on the server; everyone will see the same messages: if a message is deleted by a user, the other users will no longer see that message. If it is moved to a folder on the server, all users will see that message in that folder.
Disadvantages
You generally need to be connected to the Internet to view messages (but some email clients and mobile devices will allow you to display the inbox even without a 4G/5G or WiFi connection).
Advantages of POP/POP3
Emails are removed from the server and sent to the computer. They can therefore be accessed even when offline. Useful if your connection is expensive or not permanent, or to keep a local version if you stop your subscription with the email provider.
Disadvantages
Once retrieved on a device configured with POP/POP3, emails no longer appear on the web app **Mail** (online service mail.infomaniak.com) or the mobile app **Mail** ( application for iOS/Android smartphone or tablet). You cannot have several people viewing the same mailbox because the messages are deleted with each consultation, you will have the impression of missing or seeing certain messages disappear. Moreover, if you "keep a copy of messages on the server" (option of the software/client), the more the number of double-stored emails increases, the greater the risk of encountering problems will be (read below).
Never mix POP and IMAP
Since the IMAP protocol is not compatible with the POP3 protocol, you should not attempt to connect to Mail (IMAP) when a mail client configured in POP3 is used for the same address.
It may happen that your email software, Microsoft Outlook in particular, starts to retrieve all messages, including those you have already received and read in the past.
The cause is often a POP3 incoming server configuration with the option "keep a copy of messages on the server".
This configuration can work perfectly for some time, but then issues may arise, such as messages being re-downloaded.
To avoid this, it is recommended to use the IMAP protocol: this other guide explains how to configure an IMAP account and this other guide shows the solutions to switch an existing POP account to IMAP.
If you still want to use the POP3 protocol, avoid enabling the option to keep a copy of messages on the server.
This guide details the security measures implemented for the Infomaniak email offers to detect abusive and abnormal use of an email address.
Preamble
- Upon written, justified and authenticated request, it is possible to modify these security rules for a specific paid email address.
- For sending emails to a large number of recipients, the Newsletter tool is the most suitable.
- These measures protect you from malicious use of your computer or your account.
Daily sending limits
The number of outgoing emails per 24 hours is limited to:
- my kSuite = 500 | my kSuite+ = 1440
- kSuite Standard 1 max. user = 100 | kSuite Standard 2 min. users = 1440 | kSuite Pro = 1440 | kSuite Entreprise = 1440
- Service Mail Starter = 100 | Service Mail 5 addresses min. = 1440
- Web Hosting (PHP Mail() function - unauthenticated sends) = 50 | Web Hosting (authenticated sends) = 1440
1 message sent to 2, 42 or 99 people in CC/BCC counts as respectively 2, 42 and 99 messages.
Other email limits
This guide explains how to recover recently lost emails, especially in case of accidental deletion by the user.
Preamble
- Infomaniak backs up the content of each email address once a day (usually early in the morning).
- It is therefore possible to restore the mailbox as it was by going back to the day of the backup.
- RECOVERED ELEMENTS:
- Emails no longer existing when you request the restoration will be returned to their original location.
- Some settings related to your email address ("answering machine" part and "redirection" part, among others) will also be restored if they have changed in the meantime.
- NON-RECOVERED ELEMENTS:
- Emails moved (to a subfolder, including the trash) and not deleted will not necessarily reappear in the expected place since they still exist somewhere in the email account hierarchy - you need to search for them.
- The backup restoration does not include the calendar or the address book.
- Emails not yet present or no longer existing at the time of the daily backup (also see the POP3 chapter below); example:
- Restoration of a backup (dated 5 AM) requested at 10 AM to recover an email that arrived at 8 AM and that the user accidentally deleted at 8:05 AM, while emptying the trash at 9 AM.
- This email arrived at 8 AM, so it was not yet present in the 5 AM backup.
- NON-MODIFIED ELEMENTS:
- Emails received, created, and stored in the various folders (e.g., sent messages) during the interval (between the date you want to go back to and the date you perform the restoration) are not affected; they remain present.
Backup Retention Period
Once a complete backup of your mailbox has been made, Infomaniak makes it available to you for a certain number of days depending on your offer:
- my kSuite = 7 | my kSuite+ = 30
- kSuite Standard 1 user max. = 30 | kSuite Standard 2 users min. = 30 | kSuite Pro = 30 | kSuite Enterprise = 30
- Service Mail Starter = 7 | Service Mail 5 addresses min. = 7
By upgrading a my kSuite offer, it is possible to recover a backup up to 30 days even if the 7 days have passed at the time of the offer change.
Also refer to this other guide regarding the limits of message retention.
Restore from the Infomaniak Web Mail App
Prerequisites
- Ensure that the deletion occurred less than 7 days ago (or within the timeframe included with your offer - see above).
- Have permission to manage backups: if you had been invited to the Mail Infomaniak Web app (online service mail.infomaniak.com) to manage your address, it is possible that the Mail Service manager has revoked this right from their admin account.
To restore emails:
- Click here to access the Mail Infomaniak Web app (online service mail.infomaniak.com).
- Check or select the email address concerned in the dropdown menu of the left sidebar.
- Click on Advanced actions.
- Click on Restore:
- Choose a Restoration date.
- Click on Restore emails.
- Once the restoration is complete, an informational email is sent.
Restore from the Mail Service
Prerequisites
- Be Administrator or Legal representative within the Organization that manages the Mail Service.
- Ensure that the deletion occurred less than 7 days ago (or within the timeframe included with your offer - see above).
To restore emails from a Mail Service:
- 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 in question in the table that appears.
- Click on the button Actions on the address at the very top right.
- Click on Restore emails:
- Choose a Restoration date.
- Click on Restore emails.
- Once the restoration is complete, an informational email is sent to you.
Emails placed in the trash
Unless otherwise configured, an email deleted by the user is moved to a trash folder, and it is only after a delay of several days or weeks that the trash is automatically emptied (it can also be emptied by a user click). Therefore, during a restoration operation:
- Emails currently in the trash will remain as they are, regardless of the restoration date.
- Emails deleted from the trash will be restored to their original location, where they were when they were deleted (whether in the inbox folders, or in the trash).
Emails placed in non-conventional folders
If you intentionally store your messages in folders with unusual names (for example, folders named Junk or Spam) take note of the important information in this other guide.
Email software/client configured in POP3
If you are used to checking your email with software/email client like Outlook and the latter is configured with the POP / POP3 protocol, it will not be possible to restore everything since the backup is done once a day, it only keeps the messages that were at the time of the backup in the Infomaniak inbox; the same goes for your other folders (Sent Messages for example) present in the POP3 application: these are not synchronized with Infomaniak and therefore are not backed up; it is therefore necessary in the future to prefer the IMAP protocol in your email software/client.
This guide presents the advantages of kSuite (Standard, Pro, Enterprise), the suite of productivity and online collaboration tools developed in Switzerland by Infomaniak.
Preamble
- kSuite simplifies user management in a company and groups your products into a single invoice with a single due date.
- It also includes advanced user management for all the applications you need to collaborate online.
- You choose the domain name and kSuite is then set up according to your needs in terms of number of users and storage space.
- kSuite is a bundled offer that can be upgraded to a higher offer at any time but it is not possible to change to a lower rate later, nor to transfer kSuite to another Organization.
- The products included in kSuite cannot be moved or canceled independently of each other.
- To help you identify the kSuite offer that best suits your needs, refer to this other guide.
Choosing kSuite over standalone apps
The question of choosing kDrive and/or Mail separately rather than kSuite may indeed arise.
kSuite is more economical, simplifies user management in a company and groups all your products into a single invoice with a single due date. The offer is recommended from the moment you own or wish to have a domain name that will be associated with it.
It also includes advanced and unified user and team management, as well as kChat which cannot be ordered separately.
Here are some other points:
- 1 single invoice
- dynamic address book & calendar for the Organization
- larger disk storage (per user)
- Custom Brand included with kSuite Enterprise
In summary, choosing this collection of web tools over individual applications offers advantages in terms of integration, simplified management, real-time collaboration, multi-platform accessibility, and flexibility. These advantages can improve your efficiency, productivity, and overall user experience.
The products included in kSuite
On your interface ksuite.infomaniak.com you access to:
Create, communicate, plan, collaborate, share…
- kChat
- A Mail Service (even if you already own a Mail Service)
- Calendar
- kDrive (even if you already own a kDrive)
Also:
Management
- The Manager interface with Custom Brand included or optional depending on the offer
Are you a Partner or do you want to become one to resell kSuite?
This guide details the limits of your email regarding size (message weight and disk space) set within the framework of Infomaniak's email offers and guides you on how to check the storage used.
Email box size limit
- The total volume of your emails is unlimited, whether in terms of the number of messages or the storage space they occupy.
- Only the my kSuite offer cannot exceed 20 Go of storage.
Limit on the size of each email
- The maximum size of an email for sending and receiving is 210763776 bytes, or 201 MB exactly.
- This includes header and body (text, html, attachments, etc.) regardless of the means used for sending.
- Note that an attachment can be encoded in base64, so its size in the email is not necessarily identical to its size on disk.
- With the Infomaniak Web app Mail (online service mail.infomaniak.com) the size limit for attachments is 25 Mo.
- Beyond this and up to a limit of 3 Go, a link is generated and integrated into your message: the data is stored in Switzerland in the Infomaniak Cloud and your recipients will be able to use this link to easily download the attachments during a predefined period.
- Beyond 3 Go (and up to 50 Go), it is recommended to use SwissTransfer directly for your sends.
Message retention period limit
- There is no time limit for message retention in the inbox or in subfolders, except for an email that would be deleted, marked as spam, or manually/automatically moved to the "Trash" or "Spam" folder (or any equivalent name such as "Deleted Items", "Deleted Messages", "Junk Mail", including spellings in another language, "Junk" for example - non-exhaustive list)… In this case, the email is automatically deleted after 30 days without possibility of recovery.
- Backups performed by Infomaniak have a retention period.
- It is not recommended to keep more than 4,000 to 5,000 messages per folder (slows down message indexing). It is therefore advisable to move your messages into subfolders, which also facilitates their consultation. You can do this manually or set up automatic sorting rules.
Display the total size from the Infomaniak Web Mail app
To do this:
- Click here to access the Web Mail app (online service mail.infomaniak.com).
- Check or select the relevant email address from the dropdown menu in the left sidebar.
- Click on the action menu ⋮ to the right of the relevant item in the displayed table.
- Click on Email Settings:
- Click on Refresh in the Storage box to display the size of the mailbox:
Other email limits
What if there is still a problem?
In the case where your recipient's email address is not hosted by Infomaniak, you may receive an error message at the time of sending the email. This can take various forms, such as for example Recipient address rejected : 5.2.2 Over quota 554 5.0.0 Service unavailable
.
This may indicate that your recipient's mailbox is full and they can no longer receive emails, or that the email you are trying to send is too large.
In this case, you need to contact your correspondent to ask them to empty their inbox or to ask them for the size limit of the messages you can send them.
This guide shows how to use the Newsletter tool offered by Infomaniak to create and send newsletters, that is, recurring messages to multiple recipients.
Why use Newsletter instead of an Email Service
A newsletter is a periodic communication tool sent by email to a specific group of subscribers. It generally aims to inform, share news, updates, or relevant content on a specific topic and maintain a relationship with a targeted audience.
They can contain articles, announcements, promotions, links to recent content, upcoming events, and sometimes exclusive offers for subscribers. The main goal is to provide interesting and relevant content to spark engagement and maintain subscribers' interest.
Infomaniak Newsletter allows you to schedule and send newsletters to a list of email recipients who are expecting your messages; you thus distribute email marketing campaigns effectively and personally and maintain regular and relevant communication with your customers and subscribers.
The features include the creation of templates, management of the subscriber list, performance analysis and all of this is not directly feasible with a traditional Mail Service. Moreover, the tool has its own interface, autonomous within your browser, completely separate from Mail Infomaniak and does not require a mail application. This means that if you already have contacts to whom you wish to write with their consent, you will need to import them into the tool first.
Prerequisites
- Have a domain name on which you will activate the Newsletter:
- Access to its DNS zone if the domain name is not with Infomaniak.
- Create a new domain name if necessary.
- Have credits for Newsletter to allow sending (1 credit = 1 newsletter sent to 1 subscriber).
You must have the explicit consent of your recipients via the double opt-in model. Sending spam and using purchased/rented address lists are prohibited. The owners of the domain name used to send newsletters are legally responsible, and violation of the general terms may result in account suspension.

This guide explains the differences between a Domain (or main site), a Subdomain and an Alias.
Preamble
- Although they are related, these three elements (Domain, Subdomain and Alias) have different functions and purposes.
- They can impact a Web Hosting via its domain name, or even the email since it is quite possible to have email addresses on a subdomain for example.
What is a Domain?
The domain or domain name is the main entrance to your website. This is how your users will access your content. This main domain determines what will appear in the URL bar of your users' browsers.
Prerequisites
- Own a domain.
- Have a Infomaniak Web hosting.
Familiarize yourself with the guide Create a new site on your web hosting.
What is a Subdomain?
The Subdomain is symbolized by an additional word that appears before your main domain name. This is very useful in several cases, for example:
- It can be used to display "exclusive" or targeted content, for example, by going to faq.infomaniak.com you arrive at the knowledge base where all the guides are located
- It can also be used (temporarily or permanently) when creating a new site or redesigning an existing one, by creating for example new.domain.xyz when the main site was previously domain.xyz
Prerequisites
- Own at least one domain.
- Have a Infomaniak Web hosting.
Familiarize yourself with the guide Adding a subdomain to your web hosting.
What is an Alias?
An Alias or Domain Alias is a second domain name that points directly to your main site, sharing the same web pages. The alias is another access point to your website. For example, the main site of Infomaniak Network SA is www.infomaniak.com and www.infomaniak.ch is its alias.
The benefit of an Alias is to allow you to increase the visibility of your site to your target audience by offering them more entry points to access it.
Prerequisites
- Have multiple domain names.
- Have a Infomaniak Web hosting.
Familiarize yourself with the guide Add an alias to your web hosting.
The equivalent also exists for a Service Mail.
