Hi there

As far as I know, our company does have a limited policy on emails e.g. warnings in our staff manual that it may be monitored, but having also worked in IT, I know that we simply do not have the resources to track the emails in the way you mentioned.  A bigger concern for us is the Internet sites visited by our staff, but again, this is not monitored at all.

I know that my work email is liable to be read, e.g. when I am away so I never use it for personal use.  For the gentleman that applied for another job using his, I would have personally used another email address.

Our sister company once dismissed someone because they did monitor emails and had found out that she had been emailing about another colleague and in a not very complimentary fashion!

All the best,
Nicola.
