Ask your network administrator.
Depending on company policy, they may let you access some sites, such as your mail server. Or they may not... the two key words here are "work" and "personal". It's generally best to keep them apart.
If you try to circumvent your company's security policies, you may find yourself in big trouble.. a lot of companies will fire you on the spot for it.... get your coat, hand in your keys, don't bother to empty your desk, do not pass go... do not collect your paycheck.

The proxy thing might work ... or might not.
But here is another caution ....
a company that dedicated to keeping employees from doing anything personal while on the job very likely employs other safeguards as well ... keyloggers, monitoring systems, and will know everything you do on your computer. Best to tow the line.
My hubby works at such a company. We have no telephone and the only way he can contact me is via email. Something urgent came up and he emailed me so I could deal with it ... and he got royally chastised by the company and warned not to let it (personal email) to happen again!

try surfing anonymously using proxy sites. Here's a site where you could get some nice proxies, http://www.squidoo.com/webproxy/ but then again, why use a company's resources just meet your own gain?
wonder how a proxy work? Here's something I got from answers.com pertaining proxies, aka circumventors.
Circumventor
A circumventor is a web-based page that takes a site that is blocked and "circumvents" it through to an unblocked website, allowing the user to view blocked pages. A famous example is 'elgoog', which allowed users in China to use Google after it had been blocked there. Elgoog differs from most circumventors in that it circumvents only one block.
The most common use is in schools where many blocking programs block by site rather than by code; students are able to access blocked sites (games, chatrooms, messenger, pornography, weapons, racism, forbidden knowledge, etc.) through a circumventor. As fast as the filtering software blocks circumventors, others spring up. It should be noted, however, that in some cases the filter may still intercept traffic to the circumventor, thus the person who manages the filter can still see the sites that are being visited.
Circumventors are also used by people who have been blocked from a website.
Another use of a circumventor is to allow access to country-specific services, so that Internet users from other countries may also make use of them. An example is country-restricted reproduction of media and webcasting.
The use of circumventors is usually safe with the exception that circumventor sites run by an untrusted third party can be run with hidden intentions, such as collecting personal information, and as a result users are typically advised against running personal data such as credit card numbers or passwords through a circumventor.

Probably not, and if you try and fail, you could get fired for trying to hack the company network. I would suggest you check personal email at home.

There is a time for work and a time for personal business.
You were hired to do a job, not check personal e mail.
Get it together.
