So you haven't actually checked with them that it would be OK to do this
then, as you're assuming they won't mind. As I said before, you must check
with your IT department - if I found someone here trying to do the same as
you're doing, they'd get at least a severe warning and loss of personal use
of the internet, if they asked first then they'd probably be allowed once
approved by the MD.

No idea. And if I did, I doubt I'd post it's location. Just go to your IT
dept and ask your admin to allow you access to the POP port for GMail if
it's not against company policy. As pointed out by Walter, there may well be
a legal reason why they won't allow it.
