  1. Install socks5. You don't need to have a socks server, you just - want the "runsocks" program. -
  2. Set the environment variable SOCKS_SERVER to the server you'll be - using. Alternatively, you may set SOCKS4_SERVER and/or - SOCKS5_SERVER. E.g.: -
    -	export SOCKS5_SERVER=socks.my.domain.com
-
    -
  3. Set SOCKS5_USER and SOCKS5_PASSWD if needed. -

    -	runsocks fetchmail [parameters to fetchmail]

- Giuseppe Guerini added a --with-socks option that supports linking with socks library. If you specify the value of this option as ``yes'', the configure script will try to find the Rconnect library and set the makefile up to link it. You can also specify a directory containing the Rconnect library.

+Alan Schmitt has added a similar --with-socks5 option that may work +better if you have a recent version of the SOCKS library. +
