:P Hello Saurabh,
This Application as such does not have Proxy Settings But it can Fetch Proxy Settings and Proxy Authentication Credentials from IE [System wide Proxy Settings].
Apparently, the Problem that you was facing was,
When you does the Setup of MS Outlook using G Suite Sync APP, the Application Connects to the Google Mail Server and authenticates the user account.
Since Proxy Settings are done on IE, the G Suite Sync App will use the Proxy Server[SafeSquid-SWG] to reach out Google Mail Server.
At the time of making a Connection to the Proxy, the application should send an Proxy-Authorization Header containing the Proxy-Authentication Credentials.But it was not doing so.
We Did some dig around the Application and found that it does fetches Proxy-Authentication Credentials from IE and can Produce that at time of Proxy Authentication. This Worked fine in Windows 10.
Apparently, it could not do the same in Windows 7 OS.
To use the GSuite Sync App, we need to bypass it from Proxy-Authentication. :|
