Proxy Issue?

[viscouse]

I'm just looking for some general tips for using a proxy through work.

I think I have it configured correctly with my proxy URL (without the http://) and port.

I need a userid & password too, so I have those checked.

When I check mail, Spiffy returns "Error connecting to Gmail (The remote server returned an error: (501) Not Implemented.)"

What does that mean?

If I don't use a proxy, I get "Error connecting to Gmail (Unable to connect to the remote server)" I guess that makes sense.

And yes, I enetered my Gmail account details correctly

Any idea what's going on based on the errors I'm getting?

The error message means; the server does not support the HTTP method requested by the client.
That doesn't help a lot but you can double check your company's proxy url (or ip), maybe you got the wrong server?

Also when you are in a domain at work, your username for the proxy may also need the the domain name. If so, enter your username like this;

domain\username
