Retrieving gmails through the browser


I want to retrieve all the mails from my gmail adress in order to compute some satistics. Problem is I need to run this at work and the connection to the imap google server is blocked and there is not much I can do about it.

As I can access my mails through the browser without any problem I was wondering if it were possible to retrieve it through this medium instead of using imaplib.
