They probably also block all POP3 and known Webmail as well?

Yeah.. I vaguely seem to remember a website where you could enter a URL and it would hide it, allowing you to surf undetected, but maybe I dreamt this?

If they block it they have a reason to, not saying it's a good one mind, and will therefore probably be upset with you if they find out you have deliberately circumvented it. Use a web enabled phone or PDA if you really can't live without your Hotmail fix.

I use my own laptop and data cards when on clients site. After all I am a contractor and not an employee so their rules / equipment dont apply to me.
