What you want is your IMAP client to be able to use HTTP proxy through CONNECT requests, also known as tunnelling through HTTP proxy. That is what all the software mentioned above does. Squid does NOT support anything but HTTP(s) on server side. There's no need for IMAP support in squid because that has nothing to do with IMAP, that's just tunnelling. -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, uhlar@xxxxxxxxxxx ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
