You need an account on some box outside your firewall running an SSH server.
   ssh -L 1100:pop.mail.yahoo.com:110  outside.example.com
While that is running point your POP client at port 1100 of the box
where you ran the ssh command.

If the firewall is intended to block mail access and you don't have
permission for this it could get you into trouble.  You will need to
trust the operator
of the SSH server with your mail.
