You need to create two portmaps on the proxy; Ports 110 and 25.

110 local should point to 110 on your ISP's POP server.

e.g. 110 -> mail.isp.com:110

25 local should point to 25 on your ISP's SMTP server.

e.g. 25 -> mail.isp.com:25

Then, in OE, change the mailserver addresses (send and receive) to be the IP
address of the proxy computer.

In the event that 25 and 110 are in-use locally (perhaps by an internal
mailserver) you can use two other ports, for example 1110 and 1125. In this
case you need to change the 'Advanced' properties for the OE account to
reflect the new ports.
