Looking to create a professional email address hosted in Switzerland? This guide walks you through creating your Infomaniak account and setting up your first email address to access webmail, step by step.
Step 1: Create an Infomaniak Account
Before you can use webmail, you need to create a user account with Infomaniak. This account gives you access to the Manager (dashboard) to manage all your services.
Go to the Sign-Up Page
- Visit infomaniak.com
- Click "My Account" in the top right corner
- Select "Create an Account"
Fill in the Registration Form
The form asks for the following information:
- Email address – An existing address for verification (Gmail, etc.)
- Password – Choose a strong password (at least 12 characters recommended)
- First and last name – Your personal information
- Country – For billing and legal compliance
Secure Password
Use a password manager to generate and store a unique password. Avoid reusing passwords from other services.
Verify Your Email Address
- After submitting the form, check your inbox
- Open the email from Infomaniak (check spam if necessary)
- Click the confirmation link
- Your account is now active
Step 2: Order a Mail Service
Once your account is created, you need to order a Mail Service to get email addresses.
Access the Manager
- Log in at manager.infomaniak.com
- Use the email and password set during registration
Order the Mail Service
- In the Manager, click "Order" or "New Product"
- Select "Mail Service" in the Email category
- Choose your plan:
- Mail Starter – To get started with 1-5 addresses
- Mail Pro – For advanced professional needs
- Enter your existing domain name or order a new one
- Confirm your order
Don\'t have a domain name?
Infomaniak offers domain names starting at EUR 5/year. You can order a domain directly when subscribing to the Mail Service. Choose an appropriate extension (.com for international, .co.uk for the UK, etc.).
Step 3: Create Your First Email Address
Once the Mail Service is activated, create your email addresses.
Access Email Management
- In the Manager, go to "Mail Service"
- Select your mail service from the list
- Click "Email Addresses"
Create an Address
- Click "Add an Email Address"
- Fill in the information:
- Local part – What comes before the @ (e.g., contact, john.doe)
- Display name – The name visible to your correspondents
- Password – Different from your Infomaniak account password
- Configure the storage space (5 GB minimum recommended)
- Confirm creation
| Address Type | Example | Recommended Use |
|---|---|---|
| General contact | contact@mydomain.com | Main entry point |
| Personal | john.doe@mydomain.com | Individual communication |
| Department | support@mydomain.com | Customer service, technical |
| Info | info@mydomain.com | Information requests |
Step 4: Log in to Webmail
Your email address is created. Now log in to webmail.
Access Webmail
- Open your browser
- Go to mail.infomaniak.com
Sign In
- Enter your full email address (e.g., contact@mydomain.com)
- Enter the email address password (not your Infomaniak account password)
- Click "Sign In"
Two Different Passwords
Be careful not to mix up:
- Infomaniak account password – For accessing the Manager
- Email address password – For webmail and email clients
Step 5: Configure Your Webmail
Personalize your experience right from your first login.
Create Your Signature
- Click the gear icon (Settings) in the top right corner
- Go to "Identities"
- Select your identity
- Add your signature in the dedicated field
- Save
