For the past two days I've tried unsuccessfully to get mail.app to
work in OS 10.1.2 and 10.1.5 from behind Microsoft Proxy 2.0 (MS
Proxy 2.0 uses SOCKS protocol version 4.3a). It was particularly
frustrating because I had no difficulty running Outlook Express 5.02
in Classic.
I've recently heard from someone that mail.app doesn't work behind
proxy servers because it can't use the proxy settings from the
network preferences within the system preferences.
They pointed to the fact that mail.app is a Cocoa app and Internet
Config is a Carbon API, but I didn't understand how that explains why
mail.app doesn't work behind a proxy server. I'm not a developer, and
I was hoping someone could explain this in detail that I would
understand.
I've searched Apple's KB for articles about mail.app and proxy
servers but haven't found any. Perhaps mail.app wasn't designed to
work with proxy servers; were it a feature I would expect at least
one KB article noting it. Actually, I was surprised that I couldn't
find an article noting that mail.app doesn't work with proxy servers.
