Download email behind proxy with Gnome's Evolution Mail Client

[Chong Zan Kai]

Thanks for your reply Tom,

I tried your instructions but then it still not working.
Just for your information:
My server is winXP, running Squid at port 3128.
My client is ubuntu dapper beta.

And I have set System --> Preferences --> Network Proxy's Http proxy to
192.168.10.1(my server address)  port 3128.

After everything settle and I tried to send/receive, I got:
Error while Fetching Mail.
Host lookup failed: mail.innofox.com: Temporary failure in name resolution

I guess the problem here is because my evolution does not using the squid to
retrieve the email. So, can someone guide me about this problem?

Thank you.
