This guide explains how to create and then automatically add a signature to messages sent from the Web app Mail Infomaniak (online service mail.infomaniak.com).
COMPATIBILITY my kSuite ✗ | my kSuite+ ✔ ✔= Offer compatible | ✗= Not available |
Preamble
- The signature will also be visible when sending from the Infomaniak **Mail** app (iOS / Android).
- It will not be present with another sending method (such as software like Outlook for example).
- It is also not added to the messages of the autoresponder; it is necessary to add one directly in the out-of-office message.
- One or more signatures can be added from Mail and from the Manager where all addresses of a Mail Service are managed. Choose which signature to use when sending.
Access signatures from the Infomaniak Web Mail app
Prerequisites
- Have permission to manage signatures: if you had been invited to the Web app Mail Infomaniak (online service mail.infomaniak.com) to manage your address, it is possible that the Service Mail manager has revoked this right from their admin account.
To access signature management:
- Click here to access the Web app Mail Infomaniak (online service mail.infomaniak.com).
- Click on the Settings icon at the top right of the interface.
- Check or select the relevant email address in the dropdown menu of the left sidebar.
- Click on Signatures:
Access signatures from Service Mail
To access Service Mail and manage signatures:
- Click here to access your product management on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
- Click directly on the name assigned to the relevant product.
- Click on the email address in question in the table that appears
- Click on Voicemail and signatures in the left sidebar:
Create and edit the signature
Two options are available to you:
- Click on Add to create a new signature.
- Click on the pencil icon ✎ next to an existing signature to edit it.
Then:
- Choose an existing template, if any.
- Give a name to the signature.
- Specify a name for your identity (it will be displayed next to your email address in the messages received by your contacts).
- Create the signature content in the designated field (see below for formatting options)
- Choose whether or not to share the signature with all users of the Mail address.
- Click on Advanced Settings to choose where to insert your signature: before the message (= header) or after the message (= signature)
- Refer to this other guide regarding the choice of sending/replying addresses.
- Click on the Create signature button.
Signature formatting
You can use an image, edit the HTML source code and format your text using a set of tools.
To avoid overly spaced line breaks, use the Shift key in conjunction with the ENTER key on your keyboard, which will have the same effect as the HTML tag <br>
and cause a line break instead of a new paragraph.
Set a default signature
To select the default signature under certain conditions:
- Click here to access your signatures on the Infomaniak Mail web app.
- Check or select the relevant email address from the dropdown menu on the left sidebar.
- Choose the signature that will be inserted by default when drafting:
- of a new message
- of a reply / forward
By setting a default signature from here, it will automatically be displayed in the body of the email while composing. You will still have the possibility to change the signature.
There is a case where the default signature will not be the one automatically inserted by default when drafting a message: refer to point 9 of this other guide.
Select the signature while drafting
When you start writing a new message:
- The signature is inserted automatically.
- If multiple signatures exist, you can select another identity via the dropdown menu.
- You can also quickly access signature settings via the button in the toolbar:
Multiple addresses attached?
When a signature is based on a template (whether it was created from a model proposed by Infomaniak or generated with the advanced editor):
- users do not have access to the signature content for editing
- they can enter dynamic values such as the sender's name or personal data that may be requested such as the profession or phone number
- They can also modify the advanced settings of the signature (such as its position within a reply/forward) but as of today, this parameter is shared among all users of the signature (1)
When a signature has been created directly without using a template:
- if the signature is created from a predefined template:
- we have the same behavior as in the previous point, namely a signature created from a template
- if the signature was created using the advanced editor:
- Users have access to edit the signature's content, but be aware that this content is shared; if Morgane modifies the content, Vanessa will have the same content once she has reloaded her Mail Infomaniak interface
- only the sender's name is specific to the user and there are no dynamic values in this case
- The advanced settings follow the same principle as in other cases: they are common to all users
In all cases, assigning a default signature to an email account is done at the user level. Within the same email account, the default signature chosen by Morgane is independent of the one chosen by Vanessa.
Going further with templates
Refer to this other guide if you are looking for how to set up custom templates that can be applied as soon as a new email address is created on your Mail Service, for example, or in bulk to all addresses in your domain.

This guide presents the Global Security tool, which allows you to check that the relationship between a domain name and an Service Mail Infomaniak is optimal in terms of security. This involves checking the SPF / DKIM / DMARC records, and the Global Security tool allows you to intervene in the configuration if necessary.
Any DNS addition or modification can take up to 48 hours to propagate.
Access the Security global diagnostic tool
To access Global Security:
- 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 Global Security in the left sidebar:
Check the optimal functioning of the email service
Once you have accessed **Global Security**, familiarize yourself and check the three security mechanisms inherent to emails: **SPF**, **DKIM** and **DMARC** policy. These indications should display in green:
Otherwise this may explain why an email is treated as spam when it is not.
Click on Edit or Create to configure SPF, DKIM and DMARC according to the recommendations below to secure your Service Mail against potential identity theft:
SPF (Sender Policy Framework)
SPF (click here to configure) allows the owner of a domain name to specify which servers are authorized to send emails on behalf of that domain. This helps to reduce the risk of spam and phishing since the recipient's mail server can verify if the sender is authorized by consulting the sender domain's DNS records.
Under these conditions and if a problem is detected, you will find a Fix button that will allow you to update your SPF automatically.
If the correction of any of the mentioned issues is not possible, it is because it must be done on the configuration set up by the owner or technician of the sender's domain.
If your domain name points to Wix or another provider, the SPF must be configured with the provider in question.
DKIM (Domain Keys Identified Mail)
DKIM (click here to configure) is a protocol that allows emails to be signed when they are sent.
When your domain name (or its DNS zone) is managed elsewhere, you will find in this section Global Security > DKIM the DKIM record to add in the DNS zone.
You can configure multiple DKIM records on your domain without a set limit, unlike DMARC or SPF, which is crucial if you use several third-party email providers for your daily communications.
DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance)
DMARC (click here to configure) allows you to indicate to other mail servers (the email providers of the contacts to whom you send an email) the policy to follow in case of receipt of a "suspicious" email (e.g., unauthenticated) from your mail server (hosted by Infomaniak). Furthermore, you can be notified of the "incident" by a summary message (called a "DMARC report") providing information about the recent activity of your email related to the domain name.
DMARC requires a valid SPF and DKIM. An assistant allows you to configure DMARC according to Infomaniak's recommendations in simple mode or entirely as you wish in expert mode (allows you to enter the record of your choice). The corresponding necessary entries (type TXT) will then be automatically applied in the DNS zone of the relevant domain (if administratively possible - domain managed within the same organization, for example).
Infomaniak is neither able to analyze your potential DMARC reports and records, nor able to comment on the validity or compliance of these, as this is entirely your responsibility.
To verify the records within your DNS, you can also use an external and free service like the one mentioned at the bottom of this other guide.
Refer to this other guide if you are looking for information about the fourth point on the Global Security page.
This guide explains how to create rules sorting to automatically classify your incoming emails on Infomaniak according to certain conditions.
Preamble
- These rules allow for the following automatic actions:
- Remove or move messages from e-mail addresses you don't want to see anymore.
- Transfer to your spouse e-mails from an e-mail address so that both of you can receive them.
- Copy messages that contain a specific keyword to a folder.
- etc.
- In contrast to the Proposed sorting rules within software/mail clients (Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, Apple Mail...), these rules will act directly on the server of your mailboxes even before IMAP connection.
- You can make one. model for the entire address of your Mail Service.
- If you are using a POP-configured mail client/software, in parallel with Mail, messages classified in folders will no longer be downloaded by your application because the POP protocol only tracks messages in your main inbox. To view classified messages, it will be necessary to use the IMAP protocol or only Mail Infomaniak.
Access rules from the Mail Infomaniak Web app
Prerequisites
- Have an email offer paid (offers) free are limited to Standard mode without the ability to create a filter to transfer an e-mail to another e-mail address e.g.).
- Having permission to managing the rules: if you had been invited on Web app Mail Infomaniak (online service) mail.infomaniak.com)in order to manage your address, it is possible that the Mail Service Manager will have youwithdrawn this right from its admin account.
To access the sorting filters for your Infomaniak email:
- Click here to access the web app Mail Infomaniak (online service) mail.infomaniak.com).
- Click on the icon Parameters Top right.
- Check or select the relevant email address from the drop-down menu.
- Click on Filters and rules:
Set a rule based on an email received
You can also create a rule directly from the email received:
- Click here to access the Mail Infomaniak Web app (online service) mail.infomaniak.com).
- Open the message from the sender concerned.
- Click on the action menu ⋮ at the top right of the open message.
- Choose Create a Rule to open the creation wizard that will be pre-filled with the message elements:
Accessing the rules from the Service Mail
To access the sorting filters for your Infomaniak email:
- Click here in order to access the management of your product on the Manager Infomaniak (Need help?).
- Click directly on the nameallocated to the product concerned.
- Click on the email address concerned in the table that appears.
- Click on the tab Filters and rules from the left side menu:
Configure Filters & Sorting Rules
Create a new rule in mode Standard
- Click on the button Add Rule in mode Standard to create a new rule using a creation assistant/form:
- The different conditions available for sorting filters are presented in this other guide.
- Once a filter has been created, click on Continue to activate it.
Add or modify a rule in mode Standard
If there are already sorting filters, the button to add it is at the top right of the table:
These settings can be changed when you want by clicking on the icon pencil located to the right of the element concerned.
Create a new rule in mode Advanced (expert)
- Advanced mode allows you to configure sorting rules directly from a script in Sieve language.
- It is possible to import Sieve files via the button.
- By activating this mode, existing rules will be retained but disabled.
First example of advanced sorting
Here is a simple example of a command using this language:
require ["fileinto"];
if address :contains "from" "facebook.com" {
fileinto "fb";
} elsif header :matches "List-Unsubscribe" "*" {
fileinto "nl";
} else {
keep;
}
Explanations:
- Loading the required extensions : use
require ["fileinto"];
to indicate that you will use the functionfileinto
. - Filtering Facebook Messages : use
if address :contains "from" "facebook.com"
to check if the sender's address contains "facebook.com"; if yes, the message is classified in the folder "fb" withfileinto "fb";
. - Filtering messages with an unsubscribe link : use
elsif header :matches "List-Unsubscribe" "*"
to check if the "List-Unsubscribe" header is present in the message; if so, the message is filed in the "nl" folder withfileinto "nl";
. - Retention of other messages : use
else { keep; }
to keep all other messages that do not meet the above criteria.
Attention:
- If you need to mention a subfolder, use the separator
/
(as in the second example), but it is not necessary to specifyINBOX
in your codes - Make sure the folders "
fb
" and "nl
" already exist in your inbox; otherwise, messages may not be sorted correctly - The filter
address :contains "from" "facebook.com"
works correctly for addresses that contain "facebook.com"in the "from" field - The filter
header :matches "List-Unsubscribe" "*"
check only the presence of the "List-Unsubscribe" header, not its contents
Second example of advanced sorting
This code modifies the object according to theSender (adds a prefix to the object when an e-mail passes the filter, e.g.):
require ["fileinto", "editheader", "variables", "regex"];
if address "sender" "owner-scientific-linux-devel at LISTSERV.FNAL.GOV" {
if header :regex "subject" "((Re|Fwd): *)\\[SCIENTIFIC-LINUX-DEVEL\\] *(.*)" {
deleteheader "Subject";
addheader "Subject" "${1}${3}";
} else {
# Ajouter un préfixe si l'objet ne correspond pas déjà au modèle
deleteheader "Subject";
addheader "Subject" "[SL-Devel] ${1}";
}
fileinto "Mail List/SL-Devel";
}
Explanations:
- Extensions required :
fileinto
: to classify messages in folders.editheader
: to change the headers of emails.variables
: to use variables in expressions.regex
: for regular expressions.
- Condition on sender :
if address "sender" "owner-scientific-linux-devel at LISTSERV.FNAL.GOV"
Check if the sender matches.
- Condition on the object :
if header :regex "subject" "((Re|Fwd): *)\\[SCIENTIFIC-LINUX-DEVEL\\] *(.*)"
: check if the object corresponds to the specified model.deleteheader "Subject";
andaddheader "Subject" "${1}${3}";
: deletes the existing object and adds a new object with the captured parts.
- Adding a prefix if the object does not already match the model :
addheader "Subject" "[SL-Devel] ${1}";
: adds a prefix "[SL-Devel]" to the object if it is not already present.
- Classification of message :
fileinto "Mail List/SL-Devel";
: Classifies messages in the "Mail List/SL-Devel" folder.
Attention:
- Make sure the folder "
Mail List/SL-Devel
" already exists in your inbox. - Check that the script correctly modifies the subject of the emails to add or adjust the prefix if necessary.
This guide relates to files that are attached by your correspondent, and that are in the format winmail.dat
when they arrive on your e-mail address managed by Infomaniak.
Preamble
- This format
winmail.dat
is used when sending emails from Microsoft email software/clients such as Outlook to encapsulate formatting information, attachments and contacts in the message. - This can cause problems when recipients use other software/message clients that cannot properly interpret this format.
These files do not depend on the incoming or outgoing mail provider. This is a Microsoft specific problem, as indicated on their forums or on this page (in English).
Solve the problem of reading the attachment
Ask the sender to...
... return the message without using the format "
winmail.dat
", using a standard messaging format such as HTML or plain text format when sending messages and/or deactivating RTF formatting in Outlook settings before sending the email:- ... disable sending in format
RTF
for recipients who are not on Microsoft email software/clients. To do this, it must open your contact form in its contact list, go to the "Mail Address" tab and select "Send text only". - ... compress attachment into file
zip
standard before sending it. - ... use another software to send its message, like Thunderbird e.g.
If you don't want to contact him again:
- Use Websites and free online tools to decipher content and convert file "
winmail.dat
" in a more or less legible format...
This guide details the security measures implemented for the Infomaniak email offers to detect abusive and abnormal use of an email address.
Preamble
- Upon written, justified and authenticated request, it is possible to modify these security rules for a specific paid email address.
- For sending emails to a large number of recipients, the Newsletter tool is the most suitable.
- These measures protect you from malicious use of your computer or your account.
Daily sending limits
The number of outgoing emails per 24 hours is limited to:
- my kSuite = 500 | my kSuite+ = 1440
- kSuite Standard 1 max. user = 100 | kSuite Standard 2 min. users = 1440 | kSuite Pro = 1440 | kSuite Entreprise = 1440
- Service Mail Starter = 100 | Service Mail 5 addresses min. = 1440
- Web Hosting (PHP Mail() function - unauthenticated sends) = 50 | Web Hosting (authenticated sends) = 1440
1 message sent to 2, 42 or 99 people in CC/BCC counts as respectively 2, 42 and 99 messages.
