From where do you set up your client's email application to download the mail from? Do you run your own mail server on the SuSE Enterprise Server machine or do you try to download from servers outside your domain?

AFAIK squid is a web proxy and can not be configured as POP3/IMAP proxy. So if what you want to do is to set up a proxy service on the server machine to allow your clients to fetch their email from mail servers outside your domain, you might have a look at http://www.vergenet.net/linux/perdition/. Perdition is a mail retrieval proxy and supports both POP3 and IMAP.

I do not run my own mail server. I try to download from servers outside my internal network. Earlier when I use to configure squid to allow web browsing, I was able to download mails but now when i configure squid my mail access gets stopped on client machine and even on server, but i can only browse web and nothing else.

I don't think squid supports proxying of mail protocols, so when you earlier had success with letting your clients access their email accounts outside your network, it must have been some other configuration that did the job for you. Couldn't it be that you had IP masquerading enabled on the host connected to the Internet? On our home office network I don't use masquerading, but rather set up a POP3/IMAP proxxy service to let my users access email accounts outside our own domain. Regards, -- Andreas Philipp Noema Ltda.
