Set up the Mail app (native Android application) in IMAP (email)
This guide explains how to connect the native Android mail application to an email address hosted at Infomaniak.
It is recommended to use the app Infomaniak Mail (Android) ⚠️ Infomaniak Mail is compatible with any application supporting IMAP/SMTP. For additional help contact the support of the software used or a partner — also discover the role of the host.
Prerequisites
- Create the address within my kSuite or on a Service Mail (Service Mail alone, or existing within a kSuite).
- Test the email password (do not confuse it with the one used to log in to the Infomaniak interface).
- Check on the Service Mail that the automatic diagnosis is correct.
Manually add the email address to the application
To set up the mail application:
- Open the native mail application on your device.
- Click on Add an account.
- Select Other as the address type.
- Enter your email address.
- Select the type Personal IMAP.
- Check and complete the missing information.
- Complete the procedure.
- There you go, your email address is now set up in your device's application.
Recommended settings
- Incoming IMAP server = mail.infomaniak.com
- IMAP port = 993 (with SSL)
- Outgoing SMTP server = mail.infomaniak.com
- SMTP port = 465 (with SSL)
- Username = the full & complete email address ( ? )
- Password = the one assigned to the email address you want to access ( ? )
- Authentication required for sending emails:
- It is activated in the SMTP settings of your application.
- Check "use the same settings as the incoming server" or, depending on the software/email client, enter a username (= full & complete email address) and its password.

The most common error involves using an incorrect password.
