Socks proxy not honoured in mail

Question

While using a ssh tunnel with a setting (DynamicForward 1456)
Then in the system preferences i've set the socks proxy to localhost on port 1456
Mail doesn't seem to honor the system wide socks proxy while, Entourage works perfectly without missing a beat (Setup with the exact same account as Mail).
Has anyone had success with this everything else on the system goes through the local socks proxy (e.g. Safari , entourage)

Answer 1

Ok i've made a work around that will use local forwards instead of dynamic forwards and i've made an apple script that will switch all the settings for me.
set buttonTunnel to "Tunnel"
set buttonNormal to "Normal"
set result to display dialog "hey" buttons {buttonTunnel, buttonNormal}
set theButton to button returned of result
if theButton is equal to buttonTunnel then
tell application "Mail"
tell account "MainAccount"
set server name to "localhost"
set port to 1110
set uses ssl to false
end tell
set smtp server of account "MainAccount" to smtp server "localhost:UserNAME"
tell account "SecondAccount"
set port to 1111
set server name to "localhost"
end tell
set smtp server of account "SecondAccount" to smtp server "localhost:UserNAME"
end tell
else
tell application "Mail"
tell account "MainAccount"
set server name to "mail.MainAccount.com"
set port to 995
set uses ssl to true
end tell
set smtp server of account "MainAccount" to smtp server "mail.MainAccount.com.au:UserNAME"
tell account "SecondAccount"
set port to 110
set server name to "mail.SecondAccount.net"
end tell
set smtp server of account "SecondAccount" to smtp server "mail.MainAccount.com.au:UserNAME"
end tell
end if
