# 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.HttpProxyHostname = "www.myhttpproxy.com"
$imap.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.Ssl = $true
$imap.Port = 993
$success = $imap.Connect("imap.someMailServer.com")
if ($success -ne $true) {
    $($imap.LastErrorText)
    exit
