[QUOTE="Ember1205, post: 1736849, member: 374272"] IMAP and SMTP are protocols. HTTP is also a protocol. By definition, a proxy designed for HTTP will not typically work for other protocols. You may well be connecting to the proxy, but the proxy doesn't understand how to handle the "other side" of the connection. As for your title, using a remote SSH host that supports port tunneling (NOT proxying) would potentially work. However, it seems that you're purposefully trying to circumvent security restrictions that are imposed -for a reason-, and you absolutely should not. If you're attempting to do this at work, you could be terminated for it if you are caught. If you want your mail that badly, get a smartphone and access your mail on that only. [/QUOTE]
