Have you tried

https://www.web2mail.com

I can access all my e-mail via this site.

The easiest was todo this would be to bypass your works proxy and specify a public one. Don't think your IT Security department would like it though.

This site seems to list them, Just point to one of these in your proxy settings in explorer etc.

If the blocking is any good, they will also block the ways of bypassing the blocking .. not worth losing your job over.

Everyone seems to be thinking of Webmail. Have you thought of trying to set up a new e-mail account in Outlook/Lotus/Thunderbird/Whatever_Email_Program to access your normal home e-mail?

I had a similar problem with web mail at my last company but Outlook Express got through to my e-mail OK.

Webmail may not work because of the firewall rules your company is using (ports, etc) whereas standalone e-mail programs might.

Worth a try if nothing else. Worst case scenario is it will not connect.

I rather suspect that they've blocked every form of webmail. I think they can do this by specifying the type of address, rather than having to list each provider separately.

I don't think it's the scripts that are being blocked - it's all forms of webmail

My work has blocked everything but I have found a loophole use Orange email (I had to get a payg simcard for £1 to register). Works for me

Hi,

I look after IT at the company I work for. I dont block websites, but it can be easy to do. I am very easy going, as long as no one takes the micky.

If someone broke rules that I have inplace to protect the system and business, I guarantee they wouldnot do it again

Watch what you do....
