Make a program use other ports

Question

My school network is behind a very strict firewall, and I can't connect my e-mail and other programs. Are there any ways to avoid this problem?

You need to connect to or set up a proxy that bypasses the security set up at your school. This is a trail and error process and depends on the security set up at your school.

There are lots of ways to do this, go and have a look.

Those restrictions were put up for a reason, by passing them may mean that you are violating the terms of use that you / parents signed, which could mean that you could be expelled / suspended etc. Do this at your own risk.
