Anyone know of a good site that can access other servers' pop/imap mail, but isn't well known enough to be blocked by anti-webmail blocking services that our companies employ? I know of one but it is very buggy. Just for the once in a while where someone tells me they e-mailed my Gmail account and I need the information but can't get to it at work. Feel free to PM if you don't want to post the site publicly.

Thanks!

i used google.com/ig at my old job when they started blocking more. I could see a preview of messages, but got blocked when I tried to open them.

Now I have sprint's sero plan with free unlimited web, so I downloaded their gmail app and check it constantly. gmail actually isn't blocked at my current job, but they cracked down on internet usage awhile ago, and I got caught up in the sweep and shown logs of my internet activity which is only to be used on breaks and lunches, and obviously wasn't.

I'm on SERO too :D

I have my Gmail (and two other email accounts) forwarded to an Exchange server. They are then pushed to my phone.

Don't you just hate that? It sucks when you're at the receiving end.

BTW, copy-paste the message previews to get a little bit more of the message.
