I meant IMAPS, which AFAIK is also blocked; I'm trying to connect to imap.google.com through the HTTP proxy, but mutt doesn't seem to have support for proxy. Anyway, how would I access mail through SSH? 'ssh $mailserver dovecot --exec-mail imap' is to start the remote mail server, isn't it? > If there's _any_ way out of your local network, SSH can usually be > configured to cope (using corkscrew, etc.). I can do some socat tricks to access SSH servers, but I haven't tried other ports. -- Felipe Contreras _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev
