The proxy, that was provided to me for use is:
10.10.80.11 ; port:3128
10.10.80.12 ; port:3128

I think it is Http proxy as per this document <https://5socks.net/en_21.htm>
.

From which operating system are you attempting this? I assume some linux?

I am attempting this from Ubuntu 14.04.

Check if you can ping or telnet imap.gmail.com. It looks like you will

so, you will need to figure out how to fix your network.

Here's the response I got after doing telnet imap.gmail.com on port 993

om at om-virtual-machine:~$ telnet imap.gmail.com 993
Trying 74.125.130.108...
Trying 74.125.130.109...
Trying 2404:6800:4003:c02::6c...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Network is unreachable

I tried 'ping imap.gmail.com 993' but terminal kept showing this for ever.

PING 993 (0.0.3.225) 56(124) bytes of data.

yes, port 993 seems to be blocked. I will talk to system manager at my
university. Meanwhile, I am going through offlineimap codebase. I will get
back to you with some solution/alternative, so that I could contribute to
imapfw :-)

Sorry if this sounds intrusive. I meant, will you have access to a

computer up to the end of the GSoC?

I stay in hostel at university campus and own a laptop PC. I use ubuntu
14.04 for development purpose on VMware. So obviously, I will have access
to computer not only up to end of GSoC but also after it  :)

*Thanks and Regards,*
