Can someone provide guidance (for a relatively ignorant Ubuntu user) on how one sets up Thunderbird proxies to communicate with gmail (or any other webmail) accounts (using IMAP) from the UCT network? When I try to use the same proxy configuration as I have in Mozilla Firefox, I get the error message ‘Connection to server gmail timed out’.

Thunderbird poxy setup on UCT network
Can someone provide guidance (for a relatively ignorant Ubuntu user) on how one sets up Thunderbird proxies to communicate with gmail (or any other webmail) accounts (using IMAP) from the UCT network?

Many thanks
No proxy required
Thunderbird doesn’t use http to talk to gmail, so it shouldn’t need to go through a proxy
