Perhaps via some sort of ssh port forwarding? Well, I have exactly the same problem. And my solution to this is to use a TCP forwarding via an SOCKS proxy. ssh -D7777 somehost creates a SOCKS proxy on your local machine on port 7777. You can use that now with your favourite application (capable connecting via SOCKS proxies) or you can force your application to direct every TCP packet through the proxy. I prefer the latter since I don't like to reset my apps everytime I everytime the state of beeing behind a firewall changes. I achieve this by using "tsocks". I tiny tool which forces programs to use the provided SOCKS proxy (it's transparent). So just install "tsocks", configure it accordingly (should be just a few lines) and start your application like "tsocks evolution". I hope that works for you as well.
