Ok, then in that case, Mailwatch doesn't support your setup.

No idea; perhaps it's bypassing the proxy somehow?  GMail's checker just 
uses normal https on port 443.

Not one that was ever released, no.  I'll say again: Mailwatch has not 
ever had, and does not now have, proxy support.  The 'error in push 
function' means that it connected successfully to the server (and may 
have successfully done a TLS handshake, but I'm not sure), but send() is 
failing for some reason.
