Outlook Express
Outlook Express doesn’t have proxy settings. So, you need additional software to configure Outlook Express to work through ProxyWay/ProxyWay Pro/ProxyWay Extra. You can use a freeware called SocksCap.
How to configure Outlook Express to work through ProxyWay:
Download SocksCap free of charge.
Run SocksCap.
Select File -> Settings in SocksCap menu.
Enter 127.0.0.1 in the “SOCKS Server” and 81 in “Port” field.
Select SOCKS Version 4 or SOCKS Version 5 depending on the type of service you created in ProxyWay/ProxyWay Pro/ProxyWay Extra. If you have SOCKS5 service in ProxyWay/ProxyWay Pro/ProxyWay Extra, select “SOCKS Version 5”. If you have SOCKS4 service in ProxyWay/ProxyWay Pro/ProxyWay Extra, select “SOCKS Version 4”.
Click OK.
Now you should add Outlook Express to SocksCap (create Outlook Express profile):
Select File -> New in the SocksCap menu and using “Browse” button select Outlook Express
or simply click and drag Outlook Express shortcut icon into the SocksCap window and select “New application profile” (the profile name and working directory will be filled in automatically) and click “OK”.
Now you should run Outlook Express from SocksCap and it will work through ProxyWay/ProxyWay Pro/ProxyWay Extra.
Note: make sure ProxyWay/ProxyWay Pro/ProxyWay Extra is configured in a proper way and running. See ProxyWay Extra Guide, ProxyWay Pro Guide or ProxyWay Guide
