Is there a module that receives mail via IMAP that can work through a proxy?

Question

Node.js

Now I am using the "imap" module, but in its settings I did not find the possibility to specify a proxy server through which I would like to receive mail. Maybe there is such a setting, or maybe you can advise another module?

Answer 1

It's easy to find chilkat imap, but it's paid. If access is needed to one specific server, this can be solved by port forwarding through a proxy. For example, install a local 3proxy with the following configuration (for http/https proxy, for socks change connect to socks5):

auth iponly
allow
parent 1000 connect  proxy_ip proxy_port proxy_login proxy_password
tcppm 11143 -i127.0.0.1 imap_server_address 143

and connect locally to 127.0.0.1:11143
