How to specify proxy for pop3/smtp in Outlook 2003

[Bert_Bert]

Hi,
our company uses Outlook-Exchange at the same intranet.
However I want to be able also to download emails via IMAP/POP3 from another
account (not hotmail, not any big known company).

Of course it could be possible to redirect the emails but it does not
somehow work because of anti-spam and other issues that I cannot influence as
I am not server admin.

We use proxy to browse web pages. My linux colleagues use pop3 to external
server at their Linux wks, bu I use Outlook. I cannot find a place to specify
proxy server for pop3.

The question is:
is it in principle possible tu have pop3 proxified
does anyone have any experience with some 3-rd party soxifying prog that
would cause Outlook to work this way ?

or any reason why it is not possible?

This is rather complicated question since it rather pertains to networking.
thank you

Simplify. What happens when you add a POP e-mail account in Outlook and
configure it to connect to your "not any big known company's" POP and
SMTP mail hosts (with perhaps the caveat that you must authenticate to
their SMTP mail host)?

Does your company block connects to external hosts on ports 110 (POP)
and 25 (SMTP)? If so, have you tried other ports that the e-mail
provider allows, like 587 for SMTP (non-SSL) or 465 (SSL) for SMTP and
whatever else they might provide for POP (like port 80)? Your choices
of alternate ports depends entirely on what non-standard ports your
e-mail provider supports.
