Teresa Gudge asks:
> are my emails private ??
To a large extent this depends upon custom and practice at your place of
work. A sensible employer will have a written policy statement that clearly
explains the situation.
In the absence of any such statement, you should assume that nothing is
private. If you wish to enter into private correspondence with someone, then
it would be wise to avoid sending or receiving same at a works address.
Clearly some employers allow incidental personal use of their systems, but
this is not something to be relied upon. If you want to exchange private
emails, use your own private email address!
