For me this means that port 80 traffic goes to the proxy and everything else (maps? youtube?) still goes to the edge/gprs provider.
Is there a way to be sure that the local proxy is the only internet connection for the iphone?
It's important to figure out that if you didn't reconfigure mail accounts to use 127.0.0.1 they still be working over edge but not over the tunnel. On the other hand you should NOT disable edge interface because it will stop everything at all.
Conclusion - enable edge, don't worry about http applications, they all use local proxy server, you can see it in privoxy screen monitoring all client's (i.e. iphone's) requests. For Mail use 127.0.0.1 and be sure that mail requests will either be tunneled over PC or (if this tunnel is not available for some reason) wont be sent over edge at all. It's a dull to modify Mail settings every time you need to work indoors/outdoors but there is no other way to force Mail to use tunnel.
Consider something like changing hosts file in the iphone the same way as it's done for proxy.pac.

Did you manage to make my EdgeProxy plugin work?
