not an expert here: When I tried ubuntu at work i had the same problem: each of the programs had to connect through the company proxy. Something like wgate.bla.co.uk with port 1234. I had to ask my IT team. It is the same settings as if you would want your mobile phone to recieve work email. So they should be ok with giving it to you. One way to find out without asking is to check your firefox preferences in windows and use the same for ubuntu firefox and thunderbird.

As said below start with wired connection first.

I do not know why this is, but it seems to be the same with fedora I've been told: some systems detect the proxy settings for some programs but do not comunicate it to the rest.
