Webmail Bypass
Author: Lokesh Pimpale (for BitRight)
This article is an aid to configure your Gmail to access your webmail account, using the Gmail’s interface. Using Gmail to access your webmail account will really be helpful since Gmail offers more space to store your emails and more importantly you will be able to use your webmail account even if it’s disabled! (Only because the webmaster actually blocks you from accessing the interface, as of now. If he decides to actually suspend your account, Gmail won’t help)
Follow the steps sequentially to configure.
1. Log into your Gmail account. Go to Settings –> Accounts and Import. Click ‘Send mail from another address’ button.
2. In the dialog box that opens, enter the required details and click ‘Next Step >>’
3. Check ‘Send through Gmail’ and click ‘Next Step >>’
4. Click ‘Send Verification’. A pop-up window will open requiring you to enter the verification code (which can be found in a email you’ll receive regarding verification).
5. You must also verify by clicking the link given in the email.
6. After the verification process is done, and in case you want your webmail address to be the default id to send mails from, make the change in the Settings –> Accounts and Import.
Since the process involves your login into your webmail account, this practice won’t help you this time if your account is currently disabled. But once it’s operational, follow the above process to be safe the next time.
If everybody configures other clients to send/receive mails from/on their webmail account, the webmaster can comfortably delete mails older by a particular number of days from the hosting server. This can help solve the current problem faced by them.
P.S: Not only Gmail, many other mail clients offer this facility. But we have described the process only for Gmail, since it’s popular and not that we intend to endorse Gmail (nor do they require it!).

I doubt whether gmail can help if the webmail account is disabled. My iisermail account was disabled recently and the mail fetcher did not work. I could send mails ( as explained in this post) but I am really sending the mail from gmail, not webmail.
My access to webmail interface has been disabled since last month. But I’ve been sending and receiving mails from and to my ‘webmail id’ through Gmail.
Gmail cannot help if your account is disabled – true. But what generally happens here is a block to access the interface. By the procedure mentioned in the post, you should be able to overcome this.
I don’t get your point – “but I am really sending the mail from gmail, not webmail.” Are you telling that while composing mails in Gmail, you’re not able to see the drop-down to choose to send from your webmail id (assuming you’ve followed the procedure before the admin blocked your id)?
No, I am not telling about the drop-down option. I meant, even if I choose that option, the mail is really send from gmail server, not iisermail server (I selected ‘send through gmail’ in step 3 above). So once the setup is done, it doesn’t matter whether iisermail id is blocked or not.
And for retrieving mails from iiser account, I had problems. Gmail fetcher kept on giving the message ‘server denied access’.
Seems that your verification has failed or there has been some problem in verification.Re-do the whole thing (or atlest the verification part) and see if it solves the problem.Hotmail also offers the same forwarding options.You can also thus sign up in Hotmail.
