Mail (Windows 10): Setting up Email (IMAP)
This guide explains how to connect the Mail application (Windows 10 version) to an email address hosted with Infomaniak.
⚠️ Infomaniak email is compatible with any application supporting IMAP/SMTP, including. For additional assistance, contact the support of the software used or a partner — also read the host's role.
Prerequisites
