Infomaniak Releases Guide for Manual Apple Mail Configuration
Swiss cloud provider Infomaniak has published a detailed guide for users needing to manually configure Apple Mail (macOS) using the IMAP protocol.
Infomaniak, a Swiss cloud service provider, has released a new knowledge base article detailing how to manually set up the Apple Mail application on macOS. The guide focuses on using the IMAP protocol to connect to email accounts hosted by Infomaniak.
While the company recommends using their .mobileconfig configuration profiles for a simpler setup, this manual guide is provided for users who require more direct control or encounter issues with the automated process. The release aims to assist users in integrating their Infomaniak email with the macOS desktop client.
The article outlines prerequisites, such as creating an email address within Infomaniak's services and generating an application-specific password. It then provides step-by-step instructions, complete with visual aids, for adding an account directly within Apple Mail.
Key server settings are specified, including IMAP server (mail.infomaniak.com) on port 993 with SSL, and SMTP server (mail.infomaniak.com) on port 587 with STARTTLS. The guide also addresses common errors, such as incorrect passwords, and offers troubleshooting steps for a smoother user experience.
