As the gconf key show, the proxy info is only for http (but is used for ftp too iirc). IMAP or POP3 cannot use HTTP proxies to contact a mail server. As such, Evolution rightfully ignores the proxy setting. Upstream bug is http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=267974 the fact is that evolution can use proxy settings but the code underneath just acts like crap. Issue should be handled upstream. Remi - According to all of the available documentation, setting proxy settings with gconf or gnome-control-center should work for Enlightenment, which is supposed to get all of its proxy info through the gnome-vfs subsystem. Also, I should have mentioned, I set the https and ftp proxies as well. Gilles - Thanks for the info. I guess I'll have to wait it out, then. |
