Package: checkgmail Version: 1.13+svn43-2 Severity: important I don't know in which version it started to happen, but checkgmail is now ignoring https_proxy environmental variable.
I check this bug using wireshark. I tried a lot of combinations, but essentially: $ https_proxy=http://x.x.x.x:x checkgmail $ HTTPS_PROXY=http://x.x.x.x:x checkgmail It worked for me in the past, but suddenly it has stopped.
