This week I used two different wi-fi connections each day while on a
business trip.
On one connection, I had normal full access to the web and to my
incoming and outgoing email using Seamonkey.
On the other connection, I had full access to the web, but could not
access my regular email account either through Seamonkey or through
webmail (all other websites operated normally).
I've experienced similar email blockages while traveling other places.
I doubt it's a Seamonkey problem, but I'm wondering what a workaround
might be?
Are you using the insecure ports and services, SMTP and POP3, or the secure
versions of them? Some IP providers block access to the unsecured port, while
other block access to all mail ports and services in the name of SPAM.
Did you use webmail with an insecure (http:) URL or a secure (https:) URL, same
issue, different blockage.
The solution is to run some form of VPN to a host which trusts you and has an
unfiltered network access. That becomes a very deep and off-topic subject, so I
hesitate to give you a more complete answer here. And people do block VPN ports
as well, so even that is no panacea. The fact that other sites worked may also
mean that the site where you do mail is just totally blocked, ISPs are not
universally subtle, or even _competent_!

We are not out of the woods yet, but we know the direction and have
taken the first step. The steps are many, but finite in number, and if
we persevere we will reach our destination. -me, 2010
