On Renzo's later points I do not consider the position is comparable - different purposes plus we need to consider personal data, not emails as documents.
If a data controller how can the employer possibly comply with the requirements of fairness, accuracy, relevance, compatibility with (unknown) purpose, retention etc. ? How can he know whether a justifying condition exists? All these would apply as well as P6/SAR
