Unless you work for a big corp. you probably don't need to worry. The expense of keeping track of employee Internet use is prohibitive to most companies. But, most companies run their own email servers, like MS Exchange. Usually your System Administrator will have access to your account, or should. Your email can easily be accessed on the server without your knowledge. So, don't use your work email to set up your next drug deal.
AND REMEMBER: AFTER YOU ARE GONE YOUR EMAIL IS STILL ON THE SERVER.
Actually, the bigger the company, the less time they have to worry about ONE PERSON! I've seen the reports and MY GOD - you'd have to be crazy to sift through them - unless someone has complained about you and someone may have REASON to check what you are doing!
