Heh. The fact that a proxy setting exists means that it can use a proxy 
and the only reason for that has to be because it can get around the 
firewall/gateway. I, therefore, take back my comment that email clients 
do not use proxies as I did not know that such capabilities for 
circumventing firewalls are part of email clients like Evolution and 
Thunderbird. /me goes off to examine Outlook Express and Outlook.
