How to Access Blocked Web Pages via Email

Even though this sounds a little bit odd, there is a service, called WebToMail, that does exactly this: it sends you an email containing the web page that you want to see.

How it works

1. You send a email to send@webtomail.co.cc with the desired URL as Subject
2. Wait a few minutes (maximum 5)
3. You receive an email containing the web page that you want to see

It’s that simple!


Pros

  • It can be used by those that only have email access (e.g. at work or school)
  • Very simple to use

Cons

  • It’s not very comfortable for browsing :) . Not a real solution to unblock sites.
  • Images may not be shown
  • Not all web pages can be seen this way. I tried www.whatismyipaddress.com and I got “Your browser, plug-in, or script is not passing a user-agent string. This could be due to an overly aggressive security suite. Unfortunately due to continued abuse we cannot serve the requested page to you.

To sum up, WebToMail looks like a nice solution to unblock certain pages when you only have access to email.

Enjoy!
