Are ALL of your e-mails being reviewed by your boss?

A question of e-mail confidentiality Seems your employment contract may allow your employer to read 'anything' on your company provided computer, including 'personal e-mails'. The case stems from a company being sued by an employee who used their computer policy that stated they had a right to look at 'all matters on the company's media systems' which they interpreted as their ability to review personal e-mails between that employee and her lawyer in the suit.
MORAL: Be safe, not sorry. Open up a separate personal e-mail account (google, hotmail, etc.) and DO NOT save any local copies of the emails to your company computer. Heck, get yourself a 'netbook computer' for < $300 and use that for ALL personal emails.
