On my local university the public internet connection has POP and IMAP filtered; only HTTP and HTTPS are allowed. I'd like to use Thunderbird (or some other Email client) to download my Gmail emails on my laptop to read them offline.
Does Thunderbird (or other Email client) support downloading GMail e-mails via HTTPS?

So just choose some solution, their are both commercial (services where you don't need an own server) and open source tools (requiring you've got access to a server which allows you to install software) which are able to tunnel traffic through HTTP. – Jens Erat – 2011-11-01T17:57:52.497
