This seems to be a yet-to-be-resolved problem with SO5.2. I mailed the port maintainer about it and he gave me the explanation which is that SO5.2 for some reason can't connect to other machines than itself. So I run http and imap through local plug-gw (from the earliest TIS FWTK) in the machine running SO. Works fine.
