Adding another email to my Bluewin account

Taussotaul92

Trying to add another email account to my Bluewin account.

Getting a window 'Edit account'

What does Sender name mean?

In any case the result is that Bluewin can not contact the other mail provider.

Message: The selected account is not available.

Any tips? Can it be the security or authentication method that is not right?

Hi Taussotaul92,

I guess you are referring to the functionality in the Webmail?

Any tips? Can it be the security or authentication method that is not right?

After checking on the german speaking community, I found several threads (including this one) - however, I found no thread with a working solution.

I also failed to set up a test-account.

Honestly: don't use it. Even if you'll get it working, you will only be able to receive emails from the external account, sending won't be possible. If you want to only use your bluewin email, consider forwarding the emails from CERN to bluewin.

The best way to manage both addresses at the same time, is to configure both of them in an email client like Thunderbird/Outlook/Mail on your phone etc.

Best,

r00t

@Taussotaul92 Which other account do you want add to your bluewin account, you add another (bluewin) e-mail adress to your account, if you have the respective subscription. Maybe I'm misunderstanding something, but you can't add a non-bluewin account into a Bluewin account. Or you can describe a bit more precisely what is the goal all this.

Yes the aim is to add another provider, not Bluewin. It is my CERN email account.

Under settings Bluewin say you can add another outside account and offer a form to fill in.

Why do you say that you can't do that? What is the problem?

Webmail > Paramètres > E-mail > Comptes > Comptes e-mail externes > Ajouter

Remarque: Les comptes de messagerie externes n'offrent qu'une fonctionnalité limitée.

Nom de compte: saisir p. ex. Pro CERN

Nom d'utilsateur: entrer Prénom Nom

Mot de passe: décocher Modifier et saisir le pwd du compte... @ cern.ch

Votre nom d'expéditeur: entrer le nom qui sera affiché pour l'envoi des messages

Adresse de messagerie: saisir l'e-mail prof. ... @ cern.ch

Serveur de messagerie entrant: demander les paramètres du serveur entrant à un gestionnaire des services de messagerie au CERN, probablement imaps.cern.ch (à vérifier), choisir de préférence ceux du protocole IMAP (recommandation Swisscom), p. ex. chez Swisscom imaps.bluewin.ch

Port (numéro de port du serveur): idem point précèdent

Sécurité: coché SSL exigé

si les problèmes persistent il est préférable de demander et de vérifier tous ces paramètres directement avec un gestionnaire des services de messagerie au CERN, il saura apporter l'aide nécessaire à la configuration de cette messagerie professionelle

if problems persist, it's best to ask and check all these settings directly with a CERN messaging services manager, who will be able to help you configure this professional messaging system.

Another option is to just forward the mails to your Bluewin account.
