Hello Everyone,
I am using a proxy server (192.168.1.32 port:
3128) and I don't know how to configure Outlook 2007 with proxy

Thank you for the help. I tried Thunder bird but When I am creating an account it is prompting username and password are invalid. Incoming server and outgoing server are shown right. And my password is also correct.
Please tell me where is the problem.

Regards

I was thinking of framing and posting my problem on the mailing list since long but wasn't getting the time to do so. But on reading Vaibhav's post, i feel my work has been shortened.

Actually i am also having the very same problem in Thunderbird in my Ubuntu Karmic. I can't configure my Gmail account as it is showing Password Authentication Error. I think Thunderbird is unable to communicate with Gmail because of IMAP and SMTP port being blocked by the university proxy server. I even tried it with POP3 but again the same issue.

Thunderbird is using Port 993 for IMAP and Port 465 for SMTP. Can somebody suggest some alternate ports which might not be blocked by the proxy server or some other trick to use Thunderbird.

The same Port blocking issue is with uploading files to Ghost - the Cloud Computing Virtual PC. There the ftp port is blocked. Because of these ports being blocked, i can not play Second Life also.

I wish there was some simple comprehensive solution to this other than tunnelling, as i have tried it but tunnelling doesn't give me the necessary speed for uploading and downloading files.

Regards,

Dear all,
           I would like to discuss a problem which I have encountered. When I am configuring an email client, it gives me password authentication failure. This may be because pop3 and smtp ports are blocked by proxy server. Ports which I am using for hotmail are

  1. pop3: 995
  2. smtp: 25 or 587
Can anyone suggest me some another ports which are not blocked by proxy server and I can use email client. Please guide.

With Regards
