You are using the scutil command to modify the configuration in the dynamic store. What you want to do is modify the settings in the stored preferences. While it's the settings in the dynamic store that are used by any running applications they will be updated/overwritten whenever the stored preferences are changed.

... and in most cases, it's the stored preferences that are displayed by the UI.

This would be an excellent time to use ncutil, right?

  $location_of_ncutil = "/usr/sbin/ncutil"; # version 2.0.2

  %postm_http_proxy_settings =   ( 'enable' => '0',
                                   'host' => '',
                                   'port'   => '',
                                 );
  %postm_https_proxy_settings =  ( 'enable' => '0',
                                   'host' => '',
                                   'port'   => '',
                                 );
  %postm_ftp_proxy_settings =    ( 'enable' => '0',
                                   'host' => '',
                                   'port'   => '',
                                 );
  %postm_rtsp_proxy_settings =   ( 'enable' => '0',
                                   'host' => '',
                                   'port'   => '',
                                 );
  %postm_gopher_proxy_settings = ( 'enable' => '0',
                                   'host' => '',
                                   'port'   => '',
                                 );
  %postm_SOCKS_proxy_settings =  ( 'enable' => '0',
                                   'host' => '',
                                   'port'   => '',
                                 );
  @postm_host_exceptions =       (
                                 );
