Xproxy is a Web/http proxy if its what I think it is.

T-Bird needs the proper ports setup in it for the particular service.
Edit > Account preferences > pick the account > set the proper addresses
and ports and other from the left hand pane headings.
Setup the SMTP server AND port for the specific account, or use one of
your mail service SMTP servers [the one you use to hide yourself].
Both require you enter the name and password for the specific server.

IMPORTANT:
Did you at least install Total Uninstall and ZA yet?
You can worry about setting up Kerio later...
