Hi

I am working in UK...... for a short time but in office there is some firewall or blocker........"Websense" :x which doesn't allow to check any mail client (yahoo, rediff etc)............

Is there any workaround ?? :)

TIA

There are ways to bypass firewalls/proxy but to my knowledge if the firewall at the workplace is blocking something then its been there for a reason.Company policies maybe.
Furthermore you are in the UK,I've no idea of the laws or regulations which a company may make use of if a employer is found bypassing its corporate firewall for personal reasons or for any other reason for that matter.

The best things would be to give a friendly call to the network administrator & ask whether there could be a provision made for using web yahoo.

hmm may be its illegal to bypass that

you should contact their network service and ask b4 doing that

Just configure the Firewall and add mail.yahoo.com and yahoo.com to allowable sites in the firewall!
