You don't want a proxy server for that, you need to set the PC as the
gateway in Miami's or Genesis' prefs. Just put the IP address of the PC
in the Gateway box and enable ICS on the PC.

You won't. A mail program connects to a mail server. It's the TCP stack
that hand;les the details of the connection. Unless you really want to
set up a mail server on the PC.

If you want to keep your network online all the time, you really need
something a bit more secure than ICS. Grab WinRoute Lite from last
month's Internet.Works CD (it's the full version) and set it to dial on
demand. As soon as you try to access the net form any computer on the
network, it will tell DUN to dial up. WinRoute provides more security
than ICS, but then so does a wet towel :)
