OS X and socks

	Anyone successful in retrieving mail from os x through our common enemy, the Microsoft socks firewall? I would like to access mail via Mail.app, but that seems to be a lost cause. Entourage 10�5 gets the mail but crashes contantly. Isn't there a third party console level program that fixes socks connections for all programs transparently? I mean, when installing BitchX for instance, an eventual firewall has to be provided before compiling... it sucks having to reinstall BitchX just because I moved by computer...
