IMAP server error

Hi there,

I am trying to setup my bluewin email to Outlook, as I am using the following settings in the IMAP Account:

Incoming email: imaps.bluewin.ch (Port 993)

Outgoing email: smtpauths.bluewin.ch (Port 465)

After long time loading it appears the following message:

The connection to the incoming (IMAP) server was dropped. Please check the incoming (IMAP) server settings and try again.

I also tried to change the ports or even to POP settings and the result is same!

Could you please help me!

Thanks in advance!

check that the e-mail password is correct
use a specific e-mail password (not the Swisscom Login)

Thank you Black Mamba for the reply!

I am definitely using the email password and still getting an error.

I was wondering if there was 2FA enabled somehow. If so, it won't allow any connection, but I don't see where that setting might be.

Just think out loud!

Well, I changed the password and everything was fixed!!! 🙂
