That is a bizarre conclusion to make just because nobody answered your question! :D On Jul 9, 3:48 pm, "V. Sasi Kumar" <[email protected]> wrote: > I think you can use Evolution in such a network.

Squid is mainly an HTTP proxy and it supports a few other protocols like FTP. But it doesn't support mail protocols like POP3, SMTP and IMAP. It simply doesn't let that traffic pass through. But there is a work around: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/squid-proxy-with-pop-and-smtp-632183/ The basic idea is to unblock POP3, IMAP and SMTP ports in the iptables at the server.
