I understand, but why isn't it working? If the machine has direct
connection to internet (modem connected to the machine) thunderbird
works, but if it has to go through proxy it doesn't work.

He just said it. Squid is a HTTP proxy and can not be used as proxy for
POP/IMAP/SMTP protocols. You must connect to those services directly, not
through proxy.

Thank you for your message. That is what i am saying, I have
configured Thunderbird to access internet directly and still it
doesn't work.
I'm sorry but this is completely off-topic on this list. Have you tried to
contact your ISP? We won't help you anymore on this list.

Thank you for your response.
My question is, how come Internet works through browsers when


Website: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Website

Squid fetches and sends websites to web browsers.


configured to use proxy but only thunderbird doesn't work through
proxy nor direct connection.



Email:   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-mail

Thunderbird sends and receives emails.

Your email access is broken or denied by the network admin.

So, it all comes down to the proxy and
which is why i posted this question.

Thanks

Two things as different as sky and ground.

Just to be confusing:
Some emails contain websites. Thunderbird is able to fetch the _images_ on these website emails from Squid. Thunderbird needs to receive the email on its own before this can happen.

When email is broken Thunderbird cannot do its work. This has nothing to do with Squid.
