    Errrr, you'll need a proxy I think....

    I hope you are over 18, if not, then don't read my comment, *cough*

    And I'm pretty sure those sites are 'blocked' for a GOOD reason...

    Those security measures have been put in place for a reason. They do not want people introducing viruses to their network. I do not think this is the correct place to discuss how to hack or how to bypass the networks security so you can read email.

    Right, trying to get around their policy puts you in voilation of it, I'm sure there are penalties for that. You should be able to access your email via a web interface though, if it's a POP account there are tons of free services for this, if your provider doesn't offer one.
