  // 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
