On Win XP, any version of Mozilla, when IMAP server is selected, I get :
Couldn´t connect to mail server "IP address"; the connection was refused. When
I remove IP address in GOPHER proxy and SOCKS proxy, it connects to server
without a problem.

Cc'ing necko folks. Is there some reason IMAP wouldn't work with SOCKS? Is this
a known problem?

AFAIK, SOCKS should work with IMAP, but i have not tested it. perhaps the SOCKS
proxy cannot see the IMAP server?
reporter: sounds like you don't need to use a SOCKS proxy to connect to your
IMAP server. are you sure that is required? do you need use the SOCKS proxy to
view websites? perhaps we need a preference to allow SOCKS for web browsing but
not for mailnews?

there's another report of a failure to connect to imap that is suspiciously
similar - bug 179721 , though I don't know if that involves a SOCKS proxy. The
thing that's disturbing about that one is that he can connect with Netscape 6.2,
so whatever his problem is, it seems to be a regression. I'll try to find out if
he's using a SOCKS proxy.

cc'ing Benc. Also, see bug 133903 for quite possibly relevant info.

It worked last time I tried.
Do you have the option for 'use secure connection when available' set, where the
server dpoes offer a secure connection? /me clutches at random guesses

It turned out bug 179721 was also a SOCKS proxy problem. So multiple users are
having this problem.
