I desire to use Outlook 2007 for a number of reasons. However, I currently
cannot receive email messages via POP3 through my Proxy.
My computer is on our LAN on which there is a computer that runs a proxy and
shared Internet access. In Outlook Express, I set up the following:
----------------------------
Incoming mail server: POP3
POP3: 192.168.1.10 (my proxy's IP address)
SMTP: 192.168.1.10
Account: (e-mail address removed)#mail.workingwebs.co.za
Password: ******
------------------------
This works perfectly and has from Outlook Express versions running from
about year 2000 to the latest most current Outlook Express.
Doing the same in Outlook 2007, however, does not work, whereas the SMTP
setting does work. Note: For the proxy, the POP3 server host name to be sent
with the account name (User name in Outlook 2007) delimited by a # (see
above).
It appears as though the account string is somehow changed by Outlook 2007
so the proxy doesn't get a valid string to process.
-----------------------
My questions:
1. Is the use of an account string as above with a # delimeter not allowed
in Outlook 2007? Note: The input is allowed in the account field. E.g. no
error message is displayed to indicate that a # delimited account name is
invalid.
2. If (1) above is the case, how does one configure Outlook 2007 to go via a
proxy to a POP3 account on the Internet?
PS: All my apps have to have a proxy setting including IE, Firefox,
anti-spyware software. 95% of apps work perfectly. Outlook Express fits in
the 95% and Outlook 2007 in the 5%.
I am currently at a loss as to where to continue as I have now spent weeks
researching this problem with no luck whatsoever.
So any help will be appreciated.
