What exactly is the problem? WinRoute should route your email client to
your ISPs POP server just the same as it routes your browser to websites
(except on a different port, of course).

Winroute has a builting mail sever and to by-pass this you have to set nat &
port rules
it this I do not quite understand.

What I'm looking for is some general setting for every day use,which will
let me connect
my net work to www (which I have working with winroute) and collect mail
from my
ISP's mail sever with out using winroutes my server.

Why?

Do you actually use the WinRoute mail server?

It should just work. Just because there's a mail server with WinRoute
doesn't mean you can't connect to other mail servers. As long as you
have the WinRoute machine set as your gateway your clients should be able
to access your ISP's POP and SMTP servers without any tweaking.

Well mine "just works". I've never enabled the mail server, but I don't
see why that would make any difference. WinRoute is a software router,
not a proxy.

Winroute is a proxy ,but if you could post a list of all your setting this
would be of some help to me .

It's _not_ a proxy - it's a software NAT router. It includes a cacheing
web proxy and DNS forwarder, but if you don't use them you'll still get
full internet access (depending on the rules you have applied). Once you
have the server set up all you have to do is use that machine as the
gateway for your other machines - there's no need to set proxies for any
of your network client applications.
If you are using the DNS forwarder then set each of your client machines
to use it (and point the forwarder to your ISP's DNS servers), otherwise
set the client machines to use your ISP's DNS servers directly.
