For some reason Google have decided to use the network settings of windows. So when you try to configure proxy you are taken to the internet explorer settings. Now in my case, the company has set a default proxy and I am not priviledged to modify or bypass it. And this proxy had blocked web-mail sites like gmail. And since chrome was using the same proxy settings, I was unable to access gmail on chrome as well.
Mozilla had no problem as I could select the “no proxy” option in its network settings and choose not to use the system proxy. I needed something similar for chrome as well. Some googling around and I found the solution.
Simply append
--proxy-server=
to the Target field, which can be accessed by right clicking the chrome icon and selecting the properties option. Now I can happily access my web-mail from within the office.
