Search PHP code to access remote email account

I am sitting behind a firewall which blocks the http access to all popular free email providers like

hotmail.com
gmail.com
....

The blocking is done by filtering out the domain names.

So I am searching for a way to access the mailbox by a third domain e.g. mydomain123.com (which is under my control).
I could imagine that there is a PHP code which can be setup on mydomain123.com which accesses the final hotmail.com
mailbox by using POP3 fetches and SMTP sends.

Is there such an PHP intermediate code?

Load up Thunderbird or some other program that supports IMAP or POP like outlook and connect directly to GMAIL's imap server. No need to use port 80 at all. http://support.google.com/mail/bin/stat ... 68960&rd=1

Hmm, this solution is NOT what I need.

I want to avoid having to install a program like Thunderbird locally.

Furthermore the firewall blocks not only ports but domain names as well.

So I am allowed to access e.g.a non-freemail-web page-domain like

http://www.foobarfoobar.com/myspecialmailboxaccess.php

For that I need to install a php script on (my) server foobarfoobar.com

Is there any intermediate php script for this purpose?
