I had been using outlook and set it up to download my email from hotmail. That means I paid for the premium service. Everything worked perfect until...they expanded their websense filtering so that we can't get email at work! I cannot even hit the hotmail site. The download through outlook appears to work at first as it downloads some header information (name, subject, etc) but the body of the email is overwritten by the websense default denial message. MSN messenger won't login though I could care less about that. What are my options on making this email work?

Your best option is to talk to your boss and/or the IT people at your workplace. It's possible your company never cared about blocking email in particular, just put the software or appliance in with a default policy. What Websense blocks is fully configurable by the administrator. It can be easily set up to permit popular email services while still blocking porn sites, for example. RE: Who knows the big picture - I need hotmail at work by dirtrider on 11-13-2007 at 04:08 AM I work in IT at the company. I am not worried about getting into trouble. The powers that be decided to administer everything the same for everyone. I can't go into details but there were good reasons they did it for some and have no easy way to setup the network so that it is permissible for others. Looking for options...
