Description Tom Astleitner 2008-01-22 13:55:33 UTC 
I'm sitting behind a proxy, which is set up in my system's settings as default proxy (using Ubuntu).

When adding a webcal to Evo now brings the following message up:

Error blahblahblah, Proxy Authentication Required.

Meaning the systems proxy settings are not being respected in Evo. So I can't use Webcal.
Comment 1 Tom Astleitner 2008-06-11 12:52:31 UTC 
This is still actual on version 2.22.2. I can't receive my POP mail account behind the proxy, even if the system's proxy settings are correct.

I'm moving this to Evolution because it seems to be a general issue.

http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/evolution-data-server?view=revision&revision=8581 - Does it help (committed for 2.24) ?
Comment 3 Tom Astleitner 2008-06-25 08:36:01 UTC 
Anyone able to test? Don't wanna go through compilation procedure on a company's laptop.
Comment 4 Vikram Vincent 2008-07-25 16:42:41 UTC 
If an user authentication module can be included for the proxy settings (like the one found in Iceweasel) it would be really helpful.
Comment 5 Milan Crha 2009-02-06 11:23:54 UTC 
I'm marking this as a duplicate of the later bug, because it's about the new feature in 2.24.
