An even easier way
Authored by: xSmurf on Dec 19, '05 05:14:39PM

Maybe you could use ssh to tunnel port 110?
I do that a lot, my school blocks everything except 80 8080 and 443. I already use 80 and 8080 (well I'd used 443 but it's not as important) so I run ssh on port 443. This also has the advantage that 443 (SSL) is normally encrypted and so is SSH making it a bit more difficult for the sysadmins to figure me out... been running like this for the past semester with no problems. But maybe you wanna check with your IT guy first (else you decided to put a prank on him and replace his coffee sugar with salt last 1st of April ;o)

Check around, there are a gazilion hints for tunneling.
