I am a new user of linux. I have a Windows XP box at home that i use as a

connection on my XP box that i access from the linux machine through a proxy.
HTTP/ Web browsing works fine. The only problem i am facing is with Ximian
Evolution. Can somebody please tell me how i can configure evolution to pickup
mails through the proxy server?
Assuming your proxy tunnels smtp requests (which is a bad idea - it can be
abused to send out spam if you dont restrict it to LAN IPs using a firewall
or something similar) .. you can set your http proxy settings in nautilus or
using gconftool from the command line like this ... that'd make these
settings gnome wide.
gconftool -s -t string /system/gnome-vfs/http-proxy-host proxy.mydomain
gconftool -s -t bool /system/gnome-vfs/use-http-proxy true
