Provides access to the settings which allow MailBee to connect to a mail server via a proxy server.

Property Value

A reference to the proxy server settings.

Remarks

By default, proxy server is not used. The developer can change this to make MailBee use SOCKS4, SOCKS5, or HTTP proxy server. This is useful when a firewall prohibits direct connections with a mail server but permits connections via a proxy.

Example

This console sample establishes connection with the mail server via an HTTP proxy server which requires clients to authenticate themselves.

[C#]
using System;
using MailBee;
using MailBee.ImapMail;
using MailBee.Proxy;

class Sample
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Imap imp = new Imap();
        imp.Proxy.Name = "proxy.server.com";
        imp.Proxy.Protocol = ProxyProtocol.Http;
        imp.Proxy.Port = 808;
        imp.Proxy.AccountName = "jdoe";
        imp.Proxy.Password = "secret";
        imp.Connect("mail.company.com");
        Console.WriteLine("Connected via a proxy server");
        imp.Disconnect();
    }
}
