Bluewin SMTPauth and OS X Yosemite

Bluewin SMTPauth and OS X Yosemite

After installing Mac OS I get the following error message: The SMTP connection to the server “smtpauths.bluewin.ch” failed. Select a different outgoing email server from the list below, or click Try Later to leave the email in your outbox until it can be sent. Sending from: My name <*************@bluewin.ch> I tried both the automatic setup and manually. Before installing Yosemite it worked fine.

I also have OS

Attention: Message 10 in this report is the latest version and works!!

I have exactly the same problem, with exactly the same feedback. Reception works perfectly.

I also have the problem that sending no longer works. Both on MacBook Pro and Mac.

Me too. Contacting support directly in my system has not yet brought a solution.

Hello

Had the same problem!

Solution: You just have to set “Settings” - “Accounts” - “Account information” - “SMTP server” to “Swisscom Bluewin (offline)”.

Best regards

Can you say that in more detail? Please.

Account information:

- Description: Swisscom Bluewin
- Server name: smtpauth.bluewin.ch?

- TLS certificate: without

Advanced:

- Automatically detect and apply account settings?

- Port 587 (do not use SSL)
- Authentication:
- Username: (same as imap.bluewin.ch)

Thank you very much for your help.

The way it is set up in my post number 2 in the pictures, it works for all iMacs and Macbooks in my family.

:smileywink:

That’s exactly how it is for me too… and it doesn’t work!

WalterB · Oct 20, 2014

So I have now deleted and reinstalled my email accounts on the iMac, it looks a little different and works.

Set up via the iMac, add email account, important to enter the correct email password.

Enter the network connection and your details in the Accounts setting.

deactivate in the Accounts setting in the Advanced area

Use SSL option.

You have set up a POP account and not an IMAP account!!

Set up the email account with the Apple Email Account Add new and you will find the correct password in your Kundencenter, it is not the same as the Swisscom Kundencenter password.

A few years ago I came across that the setup only works if the password for the email account and the password for the Swisscom login are NOT the same.

Arabbella · Oct 21, 2014

I also have the problem that, despite trying all the settings (setup wizard and manually), sending emails no longer works. Can you please post a screenshot of the SMTP server settings?

Receiving still works with the original settings.

How should the server, which is now apparently called “Swisscom Bluewin”, be set up? On the iPhone, for example, or on OS X Maverick, the server is still called “smtpauth.bluewin.ch”.

Thank you for the valuable contribution!

piererei · Oct 21, 2014

Finally someone could help me.

Here are the settings that ultimately helped me.

Set your outgoing server as follows:

smtpauths.bluewin.ch

Port automatically

authentication; MD5 Challenge Response

Use SSL

The only thing missing for me was the checkbox “Use SSL”.

Hopefully this helps you too.

Arabbella · Oct 21, 2014

@piererei

Great, it works with these settings!

Thank you!

Salüü

Where can I find the settings for the outgoing server? I only found the server for receiving emails.

Best regards

I can no longer send emails since the update to Yosemite. Since I’m usually more at home in the Windows world, I almost despair. Almost all of the tips listed here have not had the desired effect for me. I’m (still) afraid of the option “delete all accounts” according to tip no. 10, because a window tells me that “the mailboxes and all e-mails will be permanently deleted from your computer”. It’s a POP account and I don’t want to lose my emails.

What else can I do?
