If you want to set up a proxy on the client side for eM Client (or any similar email software), the main idea is to let the app send and receive traffic through a secure middle layer instead of going straight to the mail server. This helps with privacy, network restrictions, and location-specific access.

The easiest way is to start with a good source of rotating IPs. Many people choose to buy residential rotating proxies because they come from real household internet connections and look like normal user traffic. That means fewer blocks and better reliability compared to free or datacenter proxies.

Here’s a straightforward setup path:

In eM Client go to Menu → Tools → Settings → Proxy.

Choose the proxy type your provider gives you (HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5).

Enter the IP, port, username, and password from your residential proxy account.

Save and restart the client so the new settings take effect.

Providers like Lightning Proxies make this simple by offering fresh residential IPs that rotate automatically. Each time the connection refreshes, your email client gets a clean, trusted address without you having to change anything manually.

Using this setup keeps your email traffic private, avoids many IP blocks, and helps maintain a smooth, uninterrupted connection even if your network limits direct access.
