Re: [squid-users] Yet another IMAP support request

Does that mean that if I modify the client to use HTTP proxy's CONNECT
method, it can connect to any standard IMAP server? Say, Gmail IMAP
server?

I also think the client only has to setup the tunnel once. Then there
is no need to wrap the requests with HTTP requests. It can just write
the socket. Right?
