How to check / send e-mail (in Outlook, Messenger, Pegasus, The BAT!, etc.) through proxy server? (FAQ proxy)

For this you need program HTTPort (you can read about it here).

You need set up HTTPort for use with e-mail client (Outlook, Messenger, Pegasus, The BAT!, etc.). You should have an account on an external mail server, which provides POP3/SMTP services.
Example: I use account on yahoo.com. I will explain the setup with Yahoo account. Yahoo provides POP3 / SMTP services by means of two servers: pop.mail.yahoo.com:110 and smtp.mail.yahoo.com:25 respectively.
Create two HTTPort mappings. These should mirror local ports 9110 and 9025 (or any other ports you like), to remote ports pop.mail.yahoo.com:110 and smtp.mail.yahoo.com:25. Set up your mail client to use server 127.0.0.1:9110 as a POP3 server, and 127.0.0.1:9025 as an SMTP server. This should work.
