Add support for SOCKS5 / PROXY for every IMAP account
Reported by Pavel Balayev | 2016-03-04 16:08:06 UTC
The problem is that some of the email providers require fixed IP to send email, thus I would like to add SOCKS5 support into Mailmate. It would great if I could configure a unique SOCKS5 for every IMAP account I have.
This solves 2 problems
- Account access when access is limited by IP address
- Privacy, when I don't want to send emails from my home network.
This request is vital for me, and since there are no email clients for Mac OS X with similar functionality MailMate will surely benefit of these features.

If this feature requires additional funding, I'll be glad to discuss it.

I only have plans to replace the use of OpenSSH for network connections with Apple's own CFNetwork. The latter should make the proxy/socks settings in the System Preferences work without additional work in MailMate. (I also need to switch to CFNetwork for other reasons.)
Could it be a solution to setup SMTP in MailMate to connect to a port on localhost instead and then use
sshto redirect it:ssh -D 2001 user@example.com?
