# To connect through an HTTP proxy, set the HttpProxyHostname
# and HttpProxyPort properties to the hostname (or IP address)
# and port of the HTTP proxy.  Typical port numbers used by
# HTTP proxy servers are 3128 and 8080.
$imap->put_HttpProxyHostname("www.myhttpproxy.com");
$imap->put_HttpProxyPort(3128);

# Important:  Your HTTP proxy server must allow non-HTTP
# traffic to pass.  Otherwise this does not work.

# Connect to an IMAP server through the HTTP proxy.
# Use TLS
$imap->put_Ssl(1);
$imap->put_Port(993);

    print $imap->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
