kAuth is a free mobile application that enhances and simplifies the security of Infomaniak accounts protected by two-factor authentication (or double authentication). It is one of the methods that allows you to secure access to your Infomaniak user account.
Preamble
- Two-step verification protects your account and personal data when logging into Infomaniak tools (manager.infomaniak.com and mail.infomaniak.com) by asking for:
- your password
- and a second security method
The app kAuth is one of these methods (learn more about 2FA)
Install the kAuth app
Prerequisites
- Have an Infomaniak account (know your username and password).
- Have an iOS or Android mobile device.
- From your iOS or Android mobile device, download the app **Infomaniak kAuth** here:
Install and open the application.
Then, you have two options to link your Infomaniak accounts to kAuth:
- Log in from this mobile (recommended):
- Open the kAuth app from your mobile device.
- Click on Log in from this mobile.
- Enter the credentials for the Infomaniak account to link and authenticate your connection if necessary (need help?).
- Click the Authorize button.
- Log in from a computer (if you choose this method, you will need a computer connected to the Internet):
- Open the kAuth app from a mobile device.
- Click on Log in from a computer.
- On your computer, open the page manager.infomaniak.com/2fa
- if double authentication is not yet activated: click on Activate and choose kAuth Application.
- if double authentication is already activated: click on Add an option then choose kAuth Application.
- On your mobile, click on Continue.
- If necessary, allow kAuth to access your camera (only required to scan the identification QR code).
- On your computer, click on Next to display the QR code to scan.
- Scan the QR code displayed on the computer.
Save the backup codes
If you have just activated two-step verification, the app will automatically display your 10 personal backup codes.
Download and keep a copy of these codes as they will be the only way to access your account in case you lose your credentials or to access your account without access to your phone.
How the app works
When you attempt to log in to your account and after successfully entering your usual password, you receive a push notification on your mobile device asking you to authorize the connection ("YES / NO"), via a notification:
or directly in the app:
If the connection is authorized, the initial page is automatically redirected to the Infomaniak account. You do not need to manually enter a one-time code like with a traditional OTP application or a code sent by SMS.
And without an Internet connection?
The push notifications push do not work without an Internet connection, but kAuth also works without an Internet connection and always allows you to display a one-time code in the same way as an application OTP traditional:
- Open kAuth from your mobile device.
- Click on the relevant Infomaniak account.
- Copy the one-time code (each code is valid for 30 seconds) on the login page:
You can always access your account while traveling or on vacation.
Add additional accounts
kAuth allows you to manage multiple Infomaniak accounts:
- Open kAuth from your mobile device.
- Click on the blue button :
- Repeat the steps described above to link the account.
Delete a kAuth account
To delete your Infomaniak identity from the kAuth app, you must disable the kAuth security method from the 2FA section of the Manager.
This guide explains how to disable two-factor authentication, also known as two-factor authentication (2FA) or two-step verification for logging into Infomaniak Manager (manager.infomaniak.com) or Infomaniak Mail (ksuite.infomaniak.com/mail).
For security reasons, Infomaniak support will never disable an enabled login validation method on an account following a simple request. You must follow the procedures below.
Disable 2FA
If two-step verification is enabled and you want to disable it:
- Click here to access 2FA management on Infomaniak Manager.
- Click the Remove button to remove security:
- If the red button is inactive / grayed out…
- … you will need to contact your administrator because there is probably an upstream security option that prevents you from disabling 2FA:
- If the red button is inactive / grayed out…
- Enter the password to log in to your account.
Note: if you were using the SMS authentication method, once disabled, you will only be able to re-enable this method if you are resident in CH / FR / BE / DE. Outside these countries, you will need to use kAuth or any OTP application.
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:
- Click here to access the Infomaniak Manager login page.
- Enter the username and correct password.
- When prompted for additional authentication, click on alternative methods:
- Choose to enter one of your recovery codes if you had downloaded the sheet when activating 2FA:
- Otherwise select the last option to request help to access the form allowing you to submit your identity documents and recognition selfie:
- Follow the procedure to the end and be patient:
This guide explains how to enable two-factor authentication, also known as two-step verification or multi-factor / two-factor authentication (2FA, in English two-factor authentication, 2FA) to secure your connection to your Infomaniak Manager.
Preamble
- This two-step validation protects your account and your personal data with the password of your choice and a second identity verification method, such as a code obtained on your mobile device, for example.
- If a malicious person managed 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 on all users who have not yet activated it.
Enable two-step validation
To increase the security level of your Infomaniak account:
- Click here to access the management of two-factor authentication on the Infomaniak Manager.
- Display and choose the authentication method from:
- the app kAuth for iOS / Android devices to simply press a YES / NO push notification to authorize or not the connection
- any OTP application to obtain a unique connection code at a given time
- YubiKey (from Yubico)
- SMS reception (only for CH / FR / BE / DE countries) to obtain a unique connection code at a given time

Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the procedure.
Carefully note the recovery codes.
Attention to existing synchronizations
Once strong authentication is enabled, to access certain tools (such as synchronization), 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 assistance request regarding 2FA, refer to this other guide.

This guide explains how to force users in your Organization to enable the double authentication (2FA) feature, and then verify that it remains activated.
Introduction
- Every Infomaniak user has the option to enable two-step verification for accessing their account, which significantly enhances the security of all the Organization's services…
- A legal representative can require this activation otherwise the user will no longer be able to access the Manager and Web apps.
- Access to desktop apps (desktop application on macOS / Windows / Linux) and mobile apps (application for iOS / Android smartphone or tablet) will always be possible without 2FA.
- It is recommended to notify users of your Organization in advance, so that they can continue to use the services.
- If an external user does not wish to perform the operation requested by an administrator of the Organisation, they can choose to leave instead of activating it.
Identify users without 2FA
You can easily identify the people who have not yet activated this security on their account:
- Click here to access the management of your Organization's users.
- This red symbol indicates that 2FA is not activated:
- You can also filter long lists with this specific criterion to display only users who have not yet activated 2FA:
- To easily alert a user about the security of their account, click on the action menu ⋮ located to their right.
- Click on Send a security alert to send an automatic email to the user informing them of their various settings:
Enforce 2FA activation
Prerequisites
- To be Administrator or Legal Representative within the Organization.
To access the settings:
- Click here to access the security management of the Organization on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
- Click on the toggle switch to enable an additional login verification to be required for all users of the Organization:
- Confirm the activation of the feature in the window that opens.
- Once the feature is activated, users of the Organization who have not yet activated 2FA will receive a message (as soon as they perform their next action on their account) prompting them to set up an additional authentication method from those offered and thus preventing them from performing any other action before doing so:
This guide concerns the mobile app kCheck (application for iOS/Android smartphone or tablet), created to simplify identity verification procedures and strengthen the security of your Infomaniak account.
Preamble
- For security reasons, to ensure the identity of the person making a specific request to Infomaniak, an identity verification procedure may be triggered in the following cases (non-exhaustive list):
- user password forgotten
- login email address forgotten
- deactivation of two-factor authentication (2FA)
- unlocking an Infomaniak account
- during the first transfer of revenue for the product Billetterie
- when ordering a product (suspicion of spam or fraud, brand name, etc.)
- This app allows you to securely transfer the requested items.
- Infomaniak respects your privacy: the information transmitted via the kCheck application will be kept until your file is fully processed; it will in any case be automatically deleted after 72 hours if this request is not processed.
Start the identity verification
Prerequisites
- A QR code or a link provided by Infomaniak.
- The mobile app kCheck installed on your device iOS (iPhone, etc.) or Android.
- An internet connection on the mobile device.
You can then have your identity verified with kCheck:
- Launch the kCheck app on your mobile device.

- Enter the confirmation code received.
- Enable location services (required to continue the procedure).
- Select the type of ID you have (ID card or passport).
- Follow the steps to photograph your ID.
- Take a selfie (of yourself) holding your ID in front of you.
Your documents will then be securely transmitted to Infomaniak support. These requests are processed on a priority basis with an average response time of 2 hours during opening hours.
If your order is blocked...
For security reasons, some orders may be automatically blocked.
When you place your order, an email is sent to the email address associated with your Infomaniak Manager account. This email contains the procedure to unblock your order. If you cannot find it, you can resend it from your Manager by clicking on Resend procedure from the red banner informing you of the blockage.
Prerequisites
- Open the email containing the unlocking procedure.
- The mobile app kCheck installed on your device iOS (iPhone, etc.) or Android.
- An internet connection on the mobile device.
You can then start the unlocking procedure with kCheck:
- Launch the kCheck app on your mobile device.
- Tap Start.
- Press Scan a QR code.
- Scan the QR code in the email.
- Follow the unlocking procedure to the end.
Special cases
- If you do not respond within 10 days, the order will be automatically canceled and the payment will be fully refunded to the payment method used.
- If you do not have a mobile device to follow this procedure, contact Infomaniak support.
This guide explains how to regain access to Infomaniak tools (manager.infomaniak.com and Mail / ksuite.infomaniak.com) in case of forgetting your password or Infomaniak account login ID.
Preamble
- To log in within an Organization that manages one or more Infomaniak products, go to manager.infomaniak.com and enter the following information:
- A login email address (ID for the Infomaniak account).
- The password chosen when you signed up.
- A additional code if 2FA (two-factor authentication) is enabled.
- If you can log in to the platform but need a password for one of your email addresses, refer to this other guide.
- If you are having issues displaying the login form, especially on a mobile device, refer to this other guide on the subject.
You have forgotten...
... the password for the Infomaniak account
If you have forgotten this password, follow the reset procedure:
- Click here to reset your password.
- Enter the login email address for your Infomaniak account
- Choose the desired recovery option or follow the identity verification procedure by clicking on “You do not have access to any option”.
... the login email address for the Infomaniak account
When you signed up, you provided a phone number; it is possible to retrieve the login email address for the Infomaniak account using your phone number:
- Click here to retrieve your login email address for the Infomaniak account.
- Enter your mobile number.
- Enter (if necessary) your recovery email address.
Two scenarios are then possible:
- The system can identify your account: choose how to receive your Infomaniak account login ID.
- In the opposite case: follow the on-screen assistant to manually verify your identity or via kCheck:
And if the email address no longer exists...
If you have an Infomaniak account for which the login ID is of the form toto123@yahoo.com, there is no problem if the email address toto123@yahoo.com is deleted or is no longer valid, you just need to log in one last time to the Infomaniak Manager with this ID toto123@yahoo.com and take note of this other guide to modify your Infomaniak account login email address.
On the other hand, if the email address used as an identifier is hosted by Infomaniak (for example anna789@assoziation.ch) and an administrator deletes the email address in question or terminates the “assoziation.ch” Mail Service, the situation is different: you automatically receive an email on the secondary address and an SMS on the mobile phone number specified in your Infomaniak account:
Connection using your old "email address / password" pair will no longer work. You need to follow the SMS instructions:
- Click here to access the login page.
- Enter the username specified in the SMS (usually the initials of your account and a sequence of numbers).
- Enter the usual password (it has not changed).
- Enter the new requested information.
- You will be logged in to your account again.
The following animation shows this procedure called "Infomaniak-Recovery" (or "connection address in the process of changing" at the kSuite user level):
- Connection impossible with the old identifiers…
- Connection mandatory using the SMS information…
- And updating the information for reconnection:

This guide provides instructions to synchronize kDrive with a VPS (or vice versa) via the WebDAV
protocol found in the rClone application.
COMPATIBILITY my kSuite ✗ | my kSuite+ ✗ ✔= Compatible offer | ✗= Not available |
Prerequisites
- Have a VPS.
- Know your kDrive identifier (kDrive ID).
Synchronize kDrive and VPS via rClone
The operation allows you to retrieve in real-time the files and folders from kDrive and to read, create or modify these files from your VPS while ensuring that they are synchronized again on the kDrive server. An rClone mount point can be created with a folder on your VPS to manipulate these kDrive files.
Refer to the rClone documentation if you are looking for information about the available options:
- Example of rClone command:
rclone mount kdrive:/My_kDrive_Folder_Path /home/ubuntu/Target_Folder_Path --vfs-cache-mode full --vfs-cache-max-age 24h --vfs-cache-max-size 10G --cache-dir /home/ubuntu/rclone/cache --daemon --allow-other --dir-cache-time 1h --log-file /home/ubuntu/rclone/rclone.log --log-level INFO
- The
--daemon
attribute of this command allows you to start the synchronization in the background because without it, this sync ends with each disconnection of the VPS…
- Example of an rClone configuration file:
[kdrive] type = webdav url = https://***.connect.kdrive.infomaniak.com/*** vendor = other user = *** pass = ***
- Server address:
https://IDkDrive.connect.kdrive.infomaniak.com
(see the prerequisites above) - Username: email address to log in to the Infomaniak user account
- Password: application password if two-factor authentication is enabled or your Infomaniak user account password if you have not enabled 2FA
This guide explains how to enable two-factor authentication, also known as two-factor authentication (2FA) or two-step verification for logging into the Acronis application used with Swiss Backup.
Setting up two-factor authentication
Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a type of multi-factor authentication that verifies a user's identity by using a combination of two different factors:
- something the user knows (a PIN code or a password)
- something that a user possesses (a token)
- something that is part of the user (biometrics)
Two-factor authentication provides additional protection against unauthorized access to your account.
The platform is compatible with authentication by time-based one-time password (TOTP). If TOTP authentication is enabled in the system, users must enter their usual password as well as the unique TOTP code to access the system. In other words, a user provides the password (first factor) and the TOTP code (second factor). The TOTP code is generated in the authentication application of the device that applies the second factor, based on the current time and the secret code (QR code or alphanumeric code) provided by the platform.
How it works
How 2FA works:
- You enable two-factor authentication at the organizational level.
- All organization users must install an authentication app on the device that applies the second factor (mobile phone, laptop or desktop, or tablet) and that will be used to generate unique TOTP codes, for example:
- Users must ensure that the time displayed on the device where the authentication application is installed is correctly set and accurately reflects the current time.
- The users in your organization must log back into the system.
- After entering their username and password, they will be prompted to set up two-factor authentication for their user account.
- They must scan the QR code using their authentication app. If they are unable to scan the QR code, they can use the TOTP secret code displayed below and add it manually to the authentication app:
- It is strongly recommended to record it (print the QR code, write down the TOTP secret code, use the application compatible with code backup in a Cloud). You will need the TOTP secret code to reset two-factor authentication if you lose the device that applies the second factor.
- The unique TOTP code will be generated in the authentication application. It is automatically regenerated every 30 seconds.
- On the «Set up two-factor authentication» screen, users must enter the TOTP code after entering their password.
- As a result, two-factor authentication will be set up for users.
From now on, when users log in to the system, they will be prompted to enter the username and password, then the unique TOTP code generated in the authentication application. Users can indicate that the browser is a trusted browser when they log in to the system. The TOTP code will not be requested during subsequent logins made with this browser.
Two-factor authentication
Two-factor authentication provides additional protection against unauthorized access to your account. When two-factor authentication is set up, you must enter your password (first factor) and a unique code (second factor) to log in to the service console. The unique code is generated by a special application that must be installed on your mobile phone or another device you own. Even if someone discovers your username and password, they still won't be able to log in without accessing the device that applies the second factor.
The unique code to set up two-factor authentication for your account is generated based on the current time of the device, as well as the secret code provided by the service Cyber Protection in the form of a QR code or an alphanumeric code. When you first log in, you must enter this secret code into the authentication application.
Set up two-factor authentication for your account
You can and should set up two-factor authentication for your account when two-factor authentication has been enabled by an administrator for your organization. If two-factor authentication was enabled while you were logged into the service console Cyber Protection, you will need to set it up at the end of your current session.
Prerequisites
- Two-factor authentication must be enabled for your organization.
- You must be logged out of the Cyber Protection service console.
Next:
- Choose a device for the second factor. This is often a smartphone, but you can also use a tablet, laptop, or desktop computer.
- Make sure the time displayed on the device is correctly set and reflects the current time, and that the device locks itself after a period of inactivity.
- Install the authentication app on the device. Possible apps include Google Authenticator, Authy, etc.
- Go to the login page of the service console Cyber Protection and set your password. The service console displays the QR code and the alphanumeric code.
- Save the QR code and the alphanumeric code in a convenient way (e.g., print the screen, write down the code or save the screenshot in the Cloud storage). If you lose the device that applies the second factor, you will be able to reset the two-factor authentication using these codes.
- Open the authentication app, then perform one of the following actions:
- scan the QR code
- Enter the alphanumeric code manually into the application (the authentication application generates a unique code; a new code will be generated every 30 seconds).
- Go back to the service console login page and enter the generated code. A unique code is valid for 30 seconds. If you wait more than 30 seconds, use the code generated just after.
On your next login, you can select the box Trust this browser… In this case, the unique code will not be required for your login with this browser on this machine.
What if...
… I have lost the device that applies the second factor?
If you have a trusted browser, you can log in using it. However, when you get a new device, repeat steps 1 to 3 and 6 to 7 of the procedure above using the new device and the stored QR code or alphanumeric code.
If you did not record the code, ask your administrator or support Infomaniak to reset two-factor authentication for your account, then repeat steps 1 to 3, and 6 and 7 of the procedure above using the new device.
… I want to change the device that applies the second factor?
When logging in, click on the link Reset two-factor authentication, confirm the operation by entering the unique code, then repeat the procedure above using the new device.
This guide provides instructions to synchronize kDrive with a NAS Synology (or vice versa) via the WebDAV
protocol found in the Cloud Sync application.
COMPATIBILITY my kSuite ✗ | my kSuite+ ✗ ✔= Compatible offer | ✗= Not available |
Prerequisites
- Have a Synology NAS accessible from the Internet.
- Know your kDrive identifier (kDrive ID).
Synchronize kDrive and Synology via Cloud Sync
To do this:
- Log in to the Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM).
- If necessary, download and install the app Cloud Sync from the Package Center.
- Open Cloud Sync.
- Click on the + at the bottom left to add a Cloud.
- Select WebDAV at the bottom of the list of available Clouds:
- For the account settings, use the following information:
- Server address:
https://IDkDrive.connect.kdrive.infomaniak.com
(see prerequisites above) - Username: email address to log in to the Infomaniak user account
- Password: application password if two-factor authentication is enabled or the one for your Infomaniak user account if you have not enabled 2FA
- Server address:
- Choose the local folder, destination and desired synchronization type:
- Bidirectional: changes made will be reflected in both directions.
- Download only remote changes: ideal for backing up a kDrive to your NAS.
- Download only local changes: ideal for backing up data from your NAS to a kDrive.
This guide explains how to connect the desktop apps Contacts and Calendar (desktop applications on macOS) with the contacts & calendars hosted at Infomaniak.
Preamble
- Your macOS computer will be automatically configured using .mobileconfig configuration profiles compatible with Apple, unlike a manual configuration.
- Infomaniak contacts & calendars are linked to your Infomaniak user account. When you log in to contacts.infomaniak.com or calendar.infomaniak.com you will likely have to perform double validation (2FA) during login.
- In this case, an application password is required to establish synchronization between your device and Infomaniak tools.
- But don't worry, creating such a password is offered by following the configuration assistant (point 4 below).
- It is possible to delete a configuration profile once installed (scroll to the bottom of this page for explanations).
- The Infomaniak tools are compatible with any application supporting CardDAV/CalDAV.
- For additional help, contact the support of the software used or a Partner — also discover the role of the host.
Install a configuration profile
For this:
- Click here to access the Infomaniak configuration tool (online service https://config.infomaniak.com) — log in if necessary to your Infomaniak account on the Organization managing your email address.
- Choose to install the profile on this device.
- Choose to synchronize the contacts & calendars.
- Generate an application password dedicated to synchronization (in order to maintain the usual 2FA connection of your user account):
- Copy the generated application password (it will be requested during the installation of the Apple profile).
- Download the Apple profile:
- Open the System Settings of the computer.
- Click on General in the sidebar, then click on Device Management (for macOS Sequoia 15 version). If you have a lower version or cannot find the profile, refer to the official documentation by changing the system version at the top of the page if necessary:
- Click on +:
- Locate and then open the previously downloaded file:
- Click on Continue:
- Enter the application password twice (contacts + calendars).
If your macOS applications Contacts and Calendar were already open, you need to restart them. You will then see the information added by the synchronization.
Contacts Features
Display shared address books
The Sync server applies a restriction to the macOS Contacts application because this application does not support multiple address books for the same account. Synchronization therefore only returns the default address book. You need to use another CardDAV software (e.g., Thunderbird) to access all address books.
Contact list/group/folder
In the macOS Contacts app, you can add contact lists (or groups), but the information indicating which contacts belong to which list will not be synchronized with contacts.infomaniak.com:
Therefore, if you want to remove these lists, you must press the DEL key on your keyboard after selecting the list to delete (this does not delete the contacts).
On the other hand, a folder (or group) that you can configure on **contacts.infomaniak.com** from the editing of a contact card (see below) is not synchronized with the **Contacts** application on macOS:
Calendar Features
Display shared calendars
By default, only your personal calendars are displayed in the Calendar application. Here is an example of synchronization between multiple calendars from multiple Organizations (to which the user account specified in the macOS application is linked).
Calendar Infomaniak:
macOS:
To display calendars shared by another user:
- Open the Calendar application.
- Open the Calendar menu.
- Click on Preferences.
- Go to the Accounts tab.
- Go to the Delegation tab:
- Check the shared calendars to display.
Delete a CardDAV or CalDAV account
Refer to the chapter "Stop using an account" by changing the system version at the top of the page* if necessary.
Delete an Apple profile
Refer to the official documentation by changing the system version at the top of the page* if necessary.

This guide provides instructions for connecting to kDrive using the WebDAV connection protocol.
COMPATIBILITY my kSuite ✗ | my kSuite+ ✗ ✔= Compatible offer | ✗= Not available |
Preamble
- Connecting via WebDAV allows for:
- using the WebDAV application of your choice instead of the official kDrive application (only solution if the latter is unavailable on your OS, for example macOS 10.14.6),
- using kDrive as a synchronization base for a tool that would allow this via WebDAV (Joplin for example),
- accessing kDrive from your operating system's file manager.
Obtaining the identifier (kDrive ID)
To find out your kDrive identifier:
- Click here to access the Infomaniak kDrive web app (online service kdrive.infomaniak.com).
- The kDrive directory structure is displayed in the left sidebar.
- The URL
https://ksuite.infomaniak.com/kdrive/app/drive/123456/
displayed at the top of your browser contains a number: - In some cases, especially when the Organization ID is mentioned in the URL, there may be several series of numbers, but the principle remains the same, you need to take the number displayed after the term “
/drive/
”:

Most recent software supporting the WebDAV protocol are compatible with kDrive offers among those also supporting WebDAV. Infomaniak cannot guarantee the compatibility of the service with external applications and does not provide support for this protocol. It is recommended to install the kDrive application to avoid any file loss.
Direct WebDAV connection URL to a specific folder
To facilitate a direct connection via WebDAV to a specific folder, you can use the following URL:
https://XXXXXX.connect.kdrive.infomaniak.com/Common documents/folder-name
This simple method allows you to quickly access the desired folder without manually navigating the directory tree. You just need to replace "folder-name
" with the exact name of the targeted folder to establish a direct and secure connection via WebDAV.

- Have a quota of available addresses or adjust it in advance if necessary.
Transfer emails from Gmail to Infomaniak
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:
- Click here to access the management of your product on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
- Click directly on the name assigned to the relevant product.
- Click the blue button Create an email address in the top right corner.
- Enter the address (what comes before the at sign @) for example contact or michelle.
- Click the blue Continue button.
- Select I will consult the email address alone.
- Click the blue Continue button.
- Enter a password.
- Click the blue Continue button.
- Click the blue Finish button.
- Start again at point 3 above to recreate all the email addresses identically.
b. Import the mail content from Google to Infomaniak
If you have many (10+) email addresses to import, follow this procedure for bulk import.
Access the Infomaniak Mail Service and import your emails:
- Click here to access the management of your product on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
- Click directly on the name assigned to the relevant product.
- Click on the chevron in the right part of the blue Create an email address button.
- Click on Import emails (direct link).
- Click on Import my emails into a single email address.
- Enter the existing email address at Google.
- Enter the password for this email address.
- Click on Advanced settings.
- Enter
imap.gmail.com
in IMAP Server Address (or trymail.gmail.com
in case of error). - Enter
993
in IMAP Port. - Enable SSL and disable TLS.
- Click on the blue button Validate and continue.
- Enter the email address (which was recreated at Infomaniak at point a.10 above).
- Click on the blue button Import emails.
- The import starts and runs in the background. An email is sent once the import is complete.
- Start again at step 3 above to import the rest of the email addresses.
Labels and storage space
The storage space displayed at Infomaniak may not match that 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 using an email client/software IMAP like Thunderbird):
As a result, an email tagged in multiple Gmail folders can be counted multiple times during migration, which explains why an account showing, for example, 6 GB in Gmail can take up 18 GB once transferred to Infomaniak servers.
Adjust the application settings
As soon as you have ensured that the domain name associated with your email works with Infomaniak, adjust the settings of the email software/clients you use so that they connect correctly to the Infomaniak servers: follow the configuration assistant.
To finish
This guide offers a solution for users wishing to increase the security level of their email, on a particularly weak point if you use an email software/client to check your emails.
Also, learn about fingerprint security for checking emails on the mobile app Infomaniak Mail and this other guide if you prefer to secure email traffic.
All passwords are stored
When you use the Infomaniak online interface mail.infomaniak.com to view and send your emails, it is accessible via your Infomaniak account on which two-factor authentication (2FA) is enabled.
Indeed, all the passwords for each of the email addresses you have attached to mail.infomaniak.com are stored, and you will not need to enter them each time you want to check your messages.
But before that, you provide 3 pieces of information:
- your login ID
- the password for this login ID
- you then validate your access request using one of the additional available methods
In all logic, a person in possession of your Infomaniak password will not be able to access your mailbox if they do not also have access to your mobile device.
Case of a software/email client
Two-factor authentication (2FA described above) does not exist directly with email retrieval protocols of the IMAP type. An email address has a password, and that's it.
Therefore, an email client installed on a computer will also store all the passwords for each of the attached email addresses, but will not ask for a login password.
There is a solution with Mozilla Thundebird:
- Open the email client software.
- At the top right, click on the menu button with three horizontal lines ☰ .
- Click on Preferences (and not on Account Settings):
- Click on Privacy and security in the left-hand menu.
- Scroll down to the Passwords section (all your stored email passwords are here).
- Check the box Use a master password:
- Click on the button in the same place to set your new password for opening the software/client of the email:
To finish:
- Close and then restart Thunderbird.
- Upon reopening, enter your master password.
- If you enter the password correctly, you will have access to your accounts.
- In case of failure, Thunderbird will still open, but it will ask for the master password again.
This method especially protects you if you share your environment with other users.
This guide explains how to set up the synchronization of calendars/agendas and contacts Infomaniak with the desktop app Mozilla Thunderbird (desktop application on macOS / Windows / Linux).
⚠️ 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 directly or a Partner and consult the support policy as well as article 11.9 of the Infomaniak Terms and Conditions.
Prerequisites
- Get your synchronization information provided by the synchronization assistant Infomaniak:
- account address: https://sync.infomaniak.com
- username: for example
AB12345

iclouddrive
which corresponds to iCloud Drive among the proposed choices. - Indicate to rclone the
apple_id
by entering your Apple ID (usually an email address). - Choose to use your own password linked to the Apple ID account (
y
). - Enter your password twice as requested:
- Answer “No”
n
to the question about “advanced configuration”. - A window on your device should open to warn you of a remote connection; authorize it:
- A window on your device should open with a 2FA code; copy it:
- Paste the code when <code>rclone</code> asks for it. <li>Answer “Yes” <code>y</code> to the last question if all the information presented is correct.</li> Configuration of the destination disk (kDrive) on rclone
It is possible to act directly on the configuration file of rclone by pasting your kDrive configuration in it in the form for example:
But here is how to proceed step by step as for the previous configuration:
- Still in the terminal, enter
n
for a new disk configuration and enter the namekDrive
to recognize your destination disk:
[kDrive]
type = webdav

2. Copy data from iCloud to kDrivePrerequisites
<li>Consult the available options in the <a href="https://rclone.org/iclouddrive/" target="_blank">official guide</a> before starting an import.</li>
Example of a command to start copying your iCloud data to the root of your kDrive:
This will immediately start copying your iCloud folders, subfolders, and contents to the personal folder of your Infomaniak kDrive!
Details about the dates of your exported photos
sudo rclone copy appledrive: kDrive:
If you export your photos from iCloud to Infomaniak kDrive, be careful about the date metadata. During export, the file creation dates may be modified and replaced by the export date instead of the original date of the photo.
Here is a script for advanced users that allows you to restore the correct data to your files from the EXIF information (it is recommended to process batches of 7000 photos max. to avoid a crash):
<li>Download <strong>ExifTool</strong> <a href="https://exiftool.org/index.html">https://exiftool.org/index.html</a> (macOS Package).</li>
Install the application by authorizing its opening in advance if necessary:

This guide concerns the management of application passwords from the Infomaniak Manager.
Preamble
- Application passwords allow you to establish an authenticated connection between certain tools & services even if two-step verification (2FA authentication) is enabled.
- To synchronize, for example, contacts & agendas of your Infomaniak account with a mobile device or a messaging software/client, perform the actions presented in the guide below to generate a new password specific to this application.
- It is possible to generate several specific passwords (e.g., 1 for the contacts and 1 for the calendars) or to use the same one for synchronizing both services.
Create an application password
To do this:
- Click here to access the application password management on the Manager Infomaniak.
- Click on Generate an application password:
- Enter a name for the application password in the dialog box, then click on Generate an application password:
- Copy and save the generated application password in a secure but accessible location, it will no longer be accessible once the window is closed.
Revoke application passwords
In the same place, you can delete one or more application passwords when they are no longer needed:
- Click on the action button ⋮ to the right of each password and revoke it…
- or on Revoke All at the top of the table:
