Yes, as long as it works in the IMAP field. Did you cut and paste the name or retype it? >> Then you really need to check those proxy configurations.

Port 25 is the standard port for SMTP. I'd be surprised if the same port (80) could be used for an SMTP *and* an IMAP proxy (and an everything proxy, it sounds like), but I'll freely admit my ignorance of how proxies work at this point. I suppose a decent proxy could distinguish SMTP from IMAP based on the initial request, but in general I don't think this will be possible. Is there any SMTP AUTH being used (do the users have to authenticate before sending mail)?
