Bluewin Email IMAP Settings and Setup
Bluewin email from Swisscom works with Patriot Mail and any other email app using your normal password. Both server names end in an s, and that is the detail that stops most setups.

What to enter, if an app asks you
Patriot Mail fills these in for you. They are here for any other app that asks, and so you can check what you were given.
Before you start
What is different about Bluewin Mail
Worth knowing
Both server names end in an s
imaps.bluewin.ch and smtpauths.bluewin.ch. An app that guesses imap.bluewin.ch or smtp.bluewin.ch cannot find the server at all.
Worth knowing
Your Swisscom login is the password
The password you use for Bluewin webmail is the one an email app needs. There is nothing extra to create.
