Build Identifier: 

I connect to an IMAP server on my company's intranet.  However, to do so I have
to disable the proxy settings.  This means that I can't setup access to both
internal and external email accounts.  Also, it means that I don't have access
to extensions and themes.

An additional option to indicate whether the server should use the configured
proxy would be useful.

You can include the Name/IP Address of your IMAP server in the "No Proxy for:"
text box. 

I'm going to make this invalid, as I'm prity sure that it will solve you
problem. If it dose not work you can reopen the bug.

This should work. Otherwise he can use an automatic proxy configuration to set
the settings more deeply.
