dovecot - Jan 2014 - Dovecot IMAP proxy for gmail IMAP server

Hi All,

I am experimenting to use Dovecot as an IMAP proxy to GMAIL server. I would
like configure my localhost as an Dovecot IMAP proxy and trying to access
my GMAIL using the Thunderbird email client. Please share the steps to
configure and access my mails from GMAIL server.

- Thanks

but what is the benfit?

you can configure encryption and whatnot different
but that does not change the connection between your
proxy and the final destination - the weakest part
stays as problem independent what you do in the middle
of the connection
