This guide explains how to check the storage space of your free Infomaniak mail offer and how to free up space.

 

Preamble

  • The storage space for my kSuite emails is limited to a maximum of 20 GB (paid Mail Infomaniak offers (my kSuite+ included) have unlimited disk space).
  • If you reach this limit, you will no longer be able to receive new emails, and you will need to free up space in this case.

 

Display the total storage space used

To do this:

  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.
  4. Click on General below.
  5. Click the button to refresh the disk space:

 

Free up storage space

When your mailbox is full, it is crucial to free up space to continue receiving messages. Here are some effective solutions to achieve this:

1. Delete non-essential emails

  • Search for the largest messages. Delete messages with unnecessary attachments or download them to your computer before deleting the emails.
  • Sort your emails by date and delete those that are too old or that you no longer need.
  • After deleting emails, do not forget to empty the trash to actually free up space.
  • Unsubscribe from newsletters and mailing lists that you no longer read to avoid receiving unnecessary emails in the future.

2. Use an email management application

  • There are applications like Clean Email, Unroll.me, or Mailstrom that can help you quickly and efficiently clean up your inbox (be careful, however, with the terms of use and confidentiality of these applications).

3. Increase storage capacity

  • Paid Infomaniak Mail offers (including my kSuite+) come with unlimited disk space.

This guide explains how to set up the Infomaniak ticketing system by configuring a store whose public version will be published on the infomaniak.events portal.

 

Preamble

  • The Infomaniak.events portal brings together events and activities both local and internationally renowned headliners.

 

A simple and quick online tool

To access the online ticketing options:

  1. Click here to access the management of your product on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
  2. Click directly on the name of the ticketing concerned.
  3. Click on Ticketing Portal in the left sidebar menu.
  4. Click on Online Store in the left sidebar menu.
  5. Click on the Manage your store button:

 

Configure and publish the store

Personalize your online store with a custom image, your own colors, and by choosing the content of your store. You have two tabs available:

  1. The first tab allows you to customize the display settings of your online store:
    1. Customize the ticketing here, change the colors, add an image, etc.
      Formats: 1000 x 1414 px, vertical image, and custom image: 2500 x 1000 px
    2. The changes are directly visible in real-time:
    3. Customize the order of each category and click on the action menu located to the right of the item concerned to rename them if necessary.
    4. Advanced settings allow you to define the payment methods available in the store and to activate and customize the message displayed when there are no tickets for sale:
  2. The second tab allows you to define the content that will be displayed, such as events, passes, or gift vouchers:
    1. Decide on this tab what will be available for sale in your store.
    2. If you do not need to manage each item, you can of course simply choose the first option to display all content.
    3. You can also choose to limit the display of events based on a specific location.
    4. Or choose each content individually.

Once configured, your main store will be directly published on the infomaniak.events portal if you leave the option enabled.

 

Do not publish on Infomaniak.events

If you do not want the event to be published on the infomaniak.events portal, enable the option at the bottom of the first tab to keep the store private:

  • This is useful for personal events, such as birthdays or weddings, or events whose ticket sales should not be available to the general public, such as specialized conferences.

 

Retrieve the integration links

Once your event is published, it will be published directly on infomaniak.events so that all visitors can directly buy tickets.

You can also place a link directly on your website, share it on social media, or retrieve it to generate a QR code for your posters:

Display only the checkout tunnel

The buttons in the top right of your store page also allow you to retrieve the script link for integration on your site:

An option forces the visitor to stay on an event until the end of their order (once the option is enabled, the shopping cart is no longer shared between different events and the checkout tunnel leads the customer to the payment page without allowing them to purchase other tickets from the rest of your events).

 

Advanced integration

If you want multiple custom links, or to inject HTML, JS code, or use an external CSS, you will need to use a custom store. Refer to this other guide on the subject.

This guide concerns YAZ, a software library used to implement the Z39.50 protocol, an information retrieval protocol that allows communication between different library management systems (LMS) such as PMB, widely used in France.

 

Infomaniak for efficient library management

On Infomaniak Web Hosting, PMB is supported and YAZ is enabled by default.

However, if you encounter errors such as Call to undefined function yaz_connect() it will be necessary to open ports via the Manager. Port 210 is the standard port used for Z39.50 communications, but do not hesitate to consult the documentation of your applications.

For old Infomaniak hosting plans, consider changing your offer.

This guide explains how the Infomaniak service administration interface named Manager https://manager.infomaniak.com works.

 

Preamble

  • The Manager is the Infomaniak interface that allows you to manage your various Infomaniak products, such as domain names, hosting, as well as the administrative, billing part, etc.

 

Ordering a product = creating an account

If you do not yet have any products with Infomaniak, during the ordering process, you will be invited to create an account (with a login identifier) and an Organization is automatically created on this occasion.

For an individual, the name of the Organization will generally be composed of their first and last name, while for a company, it is generally the name or the company's legal name.

Once the Organization is created by this first user, it is possible…

  1. … to add other users
  2. … to create other Organizations

 

1. Other users can have…

  • … all rights and therefore be administrator of the Organization
  • … limited rights (access to specific products)
    • … with or without billing rights

 

2. Other Organizations can…

  • … contain other products unrelated to other Organizations
  • … have their own users who will not have access to other Organizations

 

The concept of Organization is particularly interesting for people who need to manage multiple products for different clients. Imagine, for example, that a webmaster is required to administer the products of 3 different companies, each having its own Organization containing their respective products. By adding the webmaster or the partner as an administrator of their Organization, the latter can easily switch from one account (Organization) to another to manage the different products of the 3 companies without having to log in and out each time. Indeed, they will use a unique login identifier.

 

Navigate and access your products

There are several ways to access your products, for example, the list of your hostings (where your sites are located), once you are logged in.

 

Can't find your products?

If you are on an interface where your hosting products are not displayed, you are probably on my kSuite; click on the icon at the top right of the interface to switch between the my kSuite apps (Mail for example) and the Manager:

If you still can't find them, check the currently displayed Organization...

 

Navigate within the Infomaniak Manager

You can navigate using the left sidebar by clicking on Web and Domain then on Hosting:




 

 

You can also click in the center of the homepage on Hosting (under Web and Domain):



 

 

Another way is available in the FAQs: simply click on the link (example) indicated in the guide to go directly to the type of product concerned.

All you have to do is click on the name assigned to your product (for example domain.xyz when you arrive on the page for managing your domain names).

Is the product you are looking for grayed out or invisible?

A mouse click does not load the desired page?

Do not click in the product selection boxes otherwise nothing will happen (except for the selection for a possible batch operation) but directly on the name assigned to the product concerned:
