Prerequisites

• 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.

In case of trouble

There is no need to contact Infomaniak Support if your email address works well outside of the application. The most common error involves using an incorrect password. The troubleshooting guides help you resolve any potential issues:
