Make email clients work behind NTLM proxy

I am behind a crappy windows proxy server. So I have cntlm installed, and 127.0.0.1:3128 is the proxy I have set for all the applications I use,

But thuderbird, evolution, or mutt, none of them are working with this proxy settings. Please dont suggest SSH tunnelling or other methods in which I need to keep another connection at my home up and running.

[root@aura-envy jay]# nmap -sT -O 172.16.19.10

It doesnt say 443 is open. But https works. Not sure how that works. Could anyone tell a little on that too?

What are the other ways to fix this ?

Thanks!
