let me know what sites are out there that may not show up when I google "free email"

if you have an email PDA you can sign up for gmail and use their free pop mail forwarding.

this is the setup i used in my brief 6 month stint in the "real world":

1) ssh tunnel to my home machine
2) vnc over the tunnel

google will tell you what you need to do to accomplish each of these steps ("ssh tunnel [youroperatingsystemhere]" and "vnc over ssh"). then you can do all your surfing and email checking through your home machine over vnc, and the corporate powers that be won't know anything. unless they're keystroke logging, that is...

you could try using mail2web.com to access your gmail pop account

I was always worried about my old company monitoring ssh traffic as well, but it is a good idea otherwise.

how can they monitor ssh traffic? I think all they would be able to see would be where you were initiating the connection to/from. Unless they had some way to decrypt your ssh connection, analyze the packets and then re-encrypt the packets and then send back on their way, but that doesn't sound very likely.

unless you work for the NSA you're safe with Blowfish, AES or even RSA...
