Proxy Settings Support in eM Client

I’ve been a satisfied user of eM Client for some time and truly appreciate its features. However, I’ve noticed that there doesn’t seem to be an option for configuring proxy settings within the application. This limitation poses a challenge for users in corporate or restricted network environments where proxy usage is mandatory to access email services. I’d like to ask if there is currently any way to set up a proxy, either through native settings or a workaround, and if not, whether there are plans to introduce this feature in future updates. Adding support for proxy settings would greatly enhance eM Client’s usability in diverse network scenarios, and I believe it would benefit many users.

I had the same question, and discovered how to make it work (at least in Windows)

You can set the HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY, ALL_PROXY and/or NO_PROXY environment variables before running eM Client

The easiest and unobtrusive way is to create a script file called emClientproxy.bat with the following content:

SET HTTP_PROXY="http://x.x.x.x:xx"
SET HTTPS_PROXY="http://x.x.x.x:xx"
SET ALL_PROXY="http://x.x.x.x:xx"

START "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\eM Client\MailClient.exe"

(Replacing the urls for the proxy)

and use it to launch eM Client

This workaround might work also on MacOS, but I haven’t tested it
