It shows SSL/TLS Legacy in the client and I tried different settings but no luck, problem starts this month, they changed settings to SSL/TLS only and no longer accept unencrypted connections. Win 10 Mail Client & Thunderbird still works. bluewin ist the most popular Mail in Switzerland so a quick solution would be appreciated.
If you use imap, you can try to delete the existing account and create a new one. I think bluewin.ch has changed the authentication method from clear password to encrypted password or similar. eM Client still uses the existing method after this change. A new account probably recognizes the correct authentication method.
no thats not working, deleting and new account is not working, pop is not working too. so emclient is useless wiith the biggest provider in switzerland
What do you mean with existing account? My Bluewin-account? You must be kidding!
You will have to update your software!
Who know another similar program that is working with bluewin?

Ok that is a Swisscom Problem, some of the Server telling emclient that they are using md5 but when emclint wanne ust this method the Server reject it. i have 5 idffrent bluewin accounts 3 are working 2 are not working…
Das ist ein Typischer Swisscom Schrott, einige server sind verstellt, das kriegt man bei der Swisscom nie hin an die richtige PErson zu kommen sie Sich damit auskennt.
Also emclient fragt beim Server an was er gerne möchte, und stellt sich so Automatisch drauf ein.
Einige Swisscom Server sagen dem EMClient wir akzeptieren CRAM - MD5 (Challenge-Response Authentication Mechanism, Message Digest 5)
Also stellt sich der EMclient so ein, das macht er Automatisch und man kann das nicht verstellen,
Auszug aus dem Support Ticket
"Unfortunately not - eM Client determines which authentication method will be used automatically based on what the server reports in its Capabilities. "
EMClient gibt sich also dem Server so zu erkennen. wie er das angibt.
Diesen Fehler haben aber nicht alle Mailserver sondern nur einzelne Server.
Nun muss man Tickets bei der Swisscom eröffnen weil diese Abteilung nicht Telefonisch erreichbar ist. Und ob die dann begreifen was man von denen will ist fraglich.
This is an ongoing problem with bluewin.ch for more than a month…
They won’t entertain questions from non-bluewin.ch customers…
Even their own customers have problems getting a satisfactory answer…
I have several friends in Europe in surrounding countries and they can’t send to bluewin subscribers either. Their ISP will notify them that the message is pending, but is never delivered… (and sent from various mail clients)
Some reported that using gmail helps at times…
Haven’t seen any satisfactory answer yet…
It’s up to bluewin customers to complain and ask for explanations.- and guidance…
same problem here. i have 5 clients with the problem - swisscom does not acknowledge it. but the pro support of em client is also slow in replying.
only solution at the moment - use bluewin webmail - or forward mails to another email address.
i can open new bluewin accounts - and there the connection is fine, but not on the existing ones. and deleting the existing account in em client and then reestablishing it again does not help. only creating totally new accounts seems to work.
so call swisscom, contact them in any possible way. they will only react when there is a larger number of complaints.
i had a reply from the em client support - along the line of what christopher neumann reported.
problem is not acknowledged by swisscom, but i am getting more clients with this problem popping up.
so does anybody have any idea how to progress from here?
. . . or switch to another provider because it seems there are issues with your current one.
Of course you can first check that you are using the correct settings in eM Client. Authentication issues often arise from the incorrect security policy for the port you are using. Go to Menu > Tools > Accounts and check that you are using one of the following combinations:
SMTP
Port 587 = Force usage of SSL/TLS
Port 25 = Use SSL/TLS if available
Port 465 = Use SSL/TLS on special port (legacy)
IMAP
Port 993 = Use SSL/TLS on special port (legacy)
Port 143 = Use SSL/TLS if available
POP3
Port 995 = Use SSL/TLS on special port (legacy)
Port 110 = Use SSL/TLS if available
These are the correct combinations of port and security policy. The underlined ones are the best option for security if your server supports them. SMTP port 465 was reassigned and should no longer be used for SMTP, though many mail providers still recommend and use it.
Another option is that if this issue started only after the upgrade to eM Client 7.2.36465, then you can uninstall that version and download and install the previous version of eM Client from the Release History. But I see that Christopher is using the previous version, so that is probably not the cause.
Note: The SSL settings must be activated for the above specifications."
smtp is working fine - everybody can send. it is imap4: imaps.bluewin.ch that is the problem.
looks like we will have to go back to an unsecured imap-setting:
imap.bluewin.ch (port 143)
but i do not know how long this will work as swisscom want to cut you off if you still use this setting:
"Update e-mail settings
In order to improve protection against fraudulent activity, Swisscom will only permit encrypted e-mail access from summer 2019. To continue using your Bluewin e-mail securely on all your devices, please check your e-mail settings.
If you don’t adjust your settings, you will no longer be able to send and receive e-mails through your e-mail programme (e.g. Outlook, Apple-Mail)."
