(Of course, this is what I have to do to use the browser.) I am able to tweak settings in yum.conf to yum. But am lost on how to extend this to fetch mail from an IMAP exchange server. Most of the stuff in the FAQ below seems to not be relevant.

I am sure that this is the case, but note that when I am not connecting to the network via a proxy server, I can do just fine. I am not sure what to do when we are connecting via a proxy server.
