    Hey, does anyone know of any mail clients for OSX that have native proxy support? I've tried a few, but none have it...
    Thanks!

    Most will use the system proxy values (in system preferences - network - advanced - proxies). I know firefox has its own options for proxies, so I'd try thunderbird and see if it has a similar option!

    That's what I was expecting, but they don't.... Mail.app, sparrow mail, postbox, outlook all don't. The only one I've found so far was entourage, but I've already upgraded to office 2011 and it's not there anymore. I never thought of thunderbird, I'll give it a shot this evening, but would prefer something cocoa based..

    Depending on your setup there might be some other options like setting up an ssh tunnel or some kind of transparent proxy. I totally understand the desire to use a cocoa app :) I'd find it hard to use anything else but Sparrow these days.

    Thunderbird seems to be attempting a connection, which is more than sparrow/postbox do, so progress. Now I've jsut got to get over the "incorrect username/password" crap
