Ask your admin to allow you to get to port 995 on the gmail server. If they
locked it down, they probably have a reason to - if you check your
employment T&C you may well find that accessing personal email outside of
the corporate mail system is restricted. By circumventing the restrictions
in place you might well find yourself looking for another job.
