Engtech publishes a good selection of ways to reach your Gmail account if it is blocked at work or at school / university. It is clear that in the case of a competent admin it may not help, but it’s worth a try.
Use another address
The first and simplest thing you can do is use a different address. For example, instead of
mail.google.com, you can use
https://mail.google.com . Here are some more options:
*
http://www.gmail.com or
https://www.gmail.com*
http://gmail.com or
https://gmail.com*
http://m.gmail.com or
https://m.gmail.com*
http://googlemail.com or
https://googlemail.com*
http://mail.google.com/mail/x/ or
https://mail.google.com/mail/x/')
Configure email client for POP3 access
If none of the addresses helped, you will have to configure your email client. Relevant recommendations for setting up programs can be found in the Gmail Help Center:
*
The Bat! v3.62 Pro*
Outlook Express and Outlook 2002 (and older versions) (Windows)
*
Outlook 2003*
OtherTake advantage of Google Desktop
Google Desktop is a utility for searching users' hard drives. Its latest versions have acquired features that are usually rarely seen in search programs. C using Google Desktop, you can reach your mailbox. However, it is often prohibited to install any programs at all by the security policy
Install Gmail lite
You can install the unofficial
Gmail Lite application on your server if you have your own website. In fact, Gmail lite was created to provide the user with a simple HTML interface without any AJAX frills. But now many people use it when access to Gmail is blocked for various reasons.
Bribe admin
Probably the most effective way :). IT guys take bribes accept gifts.
1. Food
2. booze
3. Films (preferably pirated copies, although your administrator probably has a better collection of films than yours)
4. Anime
5. Flirt
6. Sex (perhaps for access to mail is a bust!
