This works for me - I've got my work email account and two home email
accounts showing in my Folders, and all work identically. On Solaris
and SuSE =O)
Once you've got your socks5 proxy config going, run:
$SOCKS_PATH/runsocks $EVO_PATH/bin/evolution-1.4 "$@"
or whatever to run Evolution inside the runsocks environment. All this
really does is force a different networking library on Evo to make it go
to the Socks proxy instead. And then, at least for me, it just works.
Good luck,
