The most common way to access Gmail is HTTP, so it would be difficult
to mess with the emails as they go through. (You could block it, I
guess, but it'd have to be some sort of IP address blacklist - you
can't just say "no access to port 25 or 110".) And yes, if you tether
to your phone, you should get past the problems. That might be a
_little_ inconvenient though.
