Sorry, no easy solution for that one. Either talk to sysadmin to open
connections to port 110 (the chances of that happening are very slim
though, as the whole object of the exercise is to pass all incoming data
through a virus-scanner and allowing direct POP access would poke a hole
the size of a large meteorite in that), or if your email provider has
some form of web-mail use that to access it.

If you have access to another machine somewhere (e.g. at home) with
always-on internet connection and a fixed IP address, you could set up a
web-mail server there (or even a port forwarder from port 80 to 110 for
specific incoming IP addresses). <unruh>Oops, forget I said that last
