This guide explains how to connect the desktop app New Outlook (desktop application on Windows, replacing Windows Mail) to an email address hosted by Infomaniak.

 

Preamble

  • Although the emails themselves remain stored on the Infomaniak server, the experience in New Outlook is very integrated with the Microsoft cloud:
    • Some information from your account may be used by Microsoft for centralized management and better synchronization experience.
    • If you wish to have full and local control over your emails, consider using third-party email software/clients (such as Thunderbird for example) that allow for more direct storage.
  • The various services offered by Infomaniak are all compatible with the corresponding standard protocols (IMAP/SMTP for email, for example), therefore if you encounter a problem with third-party software, contact its publisher or a Partner and consult the support policy as well as article 11.9 of the Infomaniak Terms of Service.

 

Add the email address to the application

Prerequisites

The password created for the email address must meet the detailed criteria at the bottom of this guide.

To configure the email application:

  1. Open the application.
  2. If necessary, click on the gear icon in the top right corner (otherwise, skip to step 4).
  3. Click on Add an account:
  4. Enter the email address to be linked.

  • SMTP port & encryption protocol and command/method to activate this protocol: 587 + STARTTLS

Refer to this other guide if you are looking for information about other messaging ports and protocols compatible (SSL / TLS for example).

 

In case of problem

A solution that seems to work is the combination of these 2 situations:

  1. Being logged in to your Windows session with a Microsoft account (not just a local account).
  2. Having added the email address to connect to Windows to this version of Outlook.

Create a new password by letting it be generated randomly but also checking that it meets these criteria imposed by Microsoft:

Allowed characters
  • letters: A-Z, a-z
  • digits: 0-9
  • symbols: @ # $ % ^ & * - _ ! + = [ ] { } | \ : ' , . ? / ` ~ " ( ) ;
  • Three of the following elements are required:
    1. lowercase
    2. uppercase
    3. numbers (0-9)
    4. symbols

Preamble

  • The Organization is the term that represents the grouping of Infomaniak services & users (you and potential collaborators, family members, etc.).
  • To understand what an Organization really represents, this guide is structured around several possible situations currently:
    1. Any new registration for a free my ksuite address (ik.me / etik.com / ikmail.com).
    2. Any new registration for other Infomaniak services.
    3. Combined use of my kSuite and other services in the ecosystem:

  • text document
  • spreadsheet (worksheet)
  • presentation
  • notebook
  • document draw.io for diagrams, schematics and wireframes

A feature allows you to add a bookmark (shortcut to a favorite passage in your document or the equivalent of a web page anchor) that you can easily share with your contacts. You will also be able to easily notify a user of your Organization directly on the document.

Refer to the guide on this subject.
