Thread: POP* proxy question

  1. #1
    Unregistered Guest

    Question POP* proxy question

    Is there any posibbility to connect my email client (Outlook, Eudora, The bat ...) through a proxy server. Does POP* accepts http proxies e.g. 80, **28, 8080 etc.

    I do not want to send the emails using the proxy. I want my email client to connect and collect my emails using an external proxy.

    If anyone can help me please email at [email]japonezu77@**********[/email]

    Thanks very much

    ========================================
    Hi
    HTTP proxies, or better those that can handle the CONNECT & GET mode (ssl tunnel) can perfectly be used for connecting to a POP* server (port **0) or even an IMAP server (port *4*).

    HTTP proxy DOES NOT mean port 80 or **28 etc..
    Those SSL Tunnel proxies might be installed on any port like 4*056 or *00* or 6625 etc..

    You need to test them to insure that they can properly handle the CONNECT mode.

    Thay is said, now my question is
    Why would any one need to connect through a proxy to fetch HIS OWN EMAILs? (unless they aren't his!)
    As you know, POP* requires authentification (user & password)
    therefore you need to supply the correct username and password in order to collect your email.
    wheteher you do it via a direct connection or through a proxy, you must supply your username & password.
    By definition, it is 'YOUR' account, therefore no need to use a proxy to fetch your own account.
    It is like wearing gloves hiding his fingerprints to open his own door !
    UNLESS, UNLESS the account is not yours, then it is a felony to access somebody's email account using his username/password
    Same as introducing into somebody's appartment using his keys.

    Think twice.

    What is better than reading ~ Piexa and DATA on the same post.
    It has been very long time I didn't enjoy seeing old buddies posting all together.
    Lately I sent a P.M to DATA wondering why we do not see anymore the old members and hoping they're doing fine even when we don't hear from them.
    If I'm not mistaken, besides both of you, I do not see any old member on this ***rd. too bad

    thanks fEǚ.法Er ... one more to come

    Hi fEǚ.法Er .... all,

    How can i connect through The Bath or Eudora? I do not want to use this "connection" to read other's email box. I have a anonymizer connection (Tunnelier). How can i associate this with POP* to read my emails through anonymizer (SSL tunnel).

    I want to use this because my email ISP does not support ******* authentification and my passwords are very easy stolen though my network. It happens twice this month. We have a *00 people PC network and they have password sniffers. It's very easy to stole someone's passwords using a sniffer through a private intranet.

    PS: What about IMAP?

    Thanks very much,

    ==========================================
    Hi
    *st of all IMAP stands for Internet Message Access Protocol
    It is 'another way' to get your emails.
    While POP* server allows you to connect and DOWNLOAD the entire EMail to your harddisk in order to open & read, IMAP servers will let you read YOUR EMAIL while it is still on the server without the need to download it to your PC.
    Therefore you get a much faster access and you save lot of space, however, this IMAP service is not always provided.
    If it is available, you can access it on port *4* instead of **0 for the POP*.

    Now back to the main question, assuming that you have the following working http proxy myproxy.isverygood.com:**00
    There is no available feature in theBat! or Eudora to use tunnel proxy, therefore, you need to use [url=http://www.sureshotsoftware.com/tcptunnel/index.html]THIS[/url]. Or wait until I release very soon a free little tiny program which is in fact the Tunnel Proxy engine of SYMPA, it will be a stand alone program that will let you do tunneling with any application EVEN if it does not have a proxy feature.(which is your case with theBat!)

    >In your bat! or Eudora, replace your standard POP* server by *27.0.0.*
    >then replace the standard port **0 by a high range port like ****
    >In the tunneling application [url=http://www.sureshotsoftware.com/tcptunnel/index.html](THIS)[/url] you make **** the listening port. so your bat! will call the tunneling application on port ****.
    (if you have a firewall, give enough rights to open port ****)
    >In the tunneling application you enter in the corresponding fields the proxy IP (myproxy.isverygood.com) and the proxy port (**00).
    >In the tunneling application you enter in the destination field your usual POP* server, and in the destination port put the standard **0 port.

    client (bat!)-------------------Tunnelapplication--------------------PROXY
    call *27.0.0.*:****----listen at ****,Callproxy----PROXY---->POP*

    Something I would like to add,
    Verify again if your Provider can support POP* SSL (port **5)
    this would be the ideal solution for you.
    All what you need to do is to change the port in your Email client to seek **5 instead of **0.

    Thumbs up thanks so fEǚ.法Er much i will try it

    Thanks so much. I will try this. When your program will be available please let me know. I would like to try it. My company email does not support web mail, only connections thorugh POP* or IMAP. It is the company i work for email server and i am forced to use that one.

    I will try freedom web secure also, but this service allows only browsing features. I cannot use it for IMAP or POP*. About the password sniffing is there anything i can do. Is there any posibility other that one you described? IS there any software that can read the emails through a proxy or through a ******* encryption?

    Thanks so much again... I will try the option you proposed. I hope that will work.

    Best regards.

    Re: i tried it but.....

    "HTTP *.* 40* forbidden" means that the proxy is NOT accepting the tunneling.
    find another working proxy.

    thanks for your reply

    HI back,

    My oppinion? .... I think that TCPtunnel should be used for HTTP proxy because the software tries to connect the HTTP proxie not the POP* or any other proxy. Are you sure that program can be used for my problem? I tried to connect it thgough my anonymizer ([url]www.anonymizer.com[/url]) and the connection failed. The anonymizer has POP* connection implemented (mail.anonymizer.com:**0). He is listening my **0 port when my PC boots. I will keep tryin'...


    Thanks again for your time.

    Re: thanks for your reply

    In fact The command line of TCP is as follows
    TCP -listenport (here you put ****) -proxies (here you enter your.proxy.com:????) -tohost (here your enter your pop* server pop.anyserver.com) -toport (here you enter **0)
    this will give
    TCP -listenport **** -proxies your.proxy.com:???? -tohost pop.anyserver.com -toport **0
    You need to EXACTLY respect this format but enter your own values.
    In your Email client, replace the POP* server by *27.0.0.*
    Replace the port **0 by ****.
    TCPTunnel support perfectly ANY DESTINATION, it is the proxy that MIGHT NOT support port **0.
    If you entered correctly all figures and still does not work then try this proxy 66.4*.2*4.*8*:*777
    Very important to know that, this whole procedure is NOT SECURE, your initial purpose was to hide your user name and password, in fact, this procedure DOES NOT hide them at all, it will only route them through a proxy, (where they can be intercepted!!)
    THE ONLY SECURE WAY is by using POP* SSL port **5 (that's why they invented it
