Evolution: Using a SOCKS proxy
Started playing a bit with Evolution today on my Ubuntu Linux system.
The first stumbling block for me was that I wanted to access my work email through a SOCKS proxy and I didn’t see any settings for that in the app. I tried setting up a SOCKS proxy in the GNOME “Network Proxy” control panel, but Evolution didn’t seem to use that.
My solution was to use tsocks.
sudo apt-get install tsocks tsocks evolution
This should work with any socksifier like tsocks, runsocks, dante, etc.

try forwarding dynamic port and use
nc -Xlocalmachinename:1080 imap_machine 143
I did that and it looks great!
