In these cases, I find a simple ssh tunnel to be quite useful.  All that
is required is an account on a box outside of the restricted network -
it doesn't even need root access.  In particularly restrictive
environments, I've had to combine a tcpserver tunnel with an ssh SOCKS5
proxy to obtain the desired result, but I have yet to find a network
where I can't get to my IMAP accounts.
