It depends a little on what you're doing. Calling mutt in an Eterm, for example (like I do), didn't set it, so I just created a little wrapper script: #!/bin/sh QMAILUSER="blah" QMAILHOST="blah.com" http_proxy="http://proxy:8080/"; export QMAILUSER QMAILHOST http_proxy /usr/bin/mutt which seems to work well. Another alternative is putting them in your .xinitrc (I do this for my http_proxy environment variable so that the screensaver which downloads and displays random images uses the proxy server). If worst came to worst, I guess you could call your mail program as: env QMAILUSER=blah QMAILHOST=blah.com mailprog I guess that'd work.
