Re: [squid-users] connecting to gmail via imap over squid

Of course there are reasons proxy imap.

I was using gmail via a squid proxy. I was port forwarding on a desktop
traffic for https, because gmail was blocked by security, to my squid proxy.
That was working well, but now google has changed something because it
doesn't work any more. however all my other sites do, including hotmail via
https.

Not sure if something like this is what you are trying to setup or something
else.
