I don't have access to my work email outside of work (well technically I do have access, I just don't open evolution).
I do however have alerts@somecompany.co.uk setup on my phone and my monitoring emails/alerts go to that.
That's because I'm the only techie on staff so I choose to know if a backup fails/server falls over.
My boss is awesome about never emailing outside of work hours (I just looked, he's sent me 1 in 10mths if we assume out of work hours equals finish time plus 15 minutes) and that was a response to one I sent him at finish time.
It's complete freeing to not have to think about work email outside of work nor feel like I have to account for not doing it, I can focus on other stuff without having "I wonder if I need to respond to email".
The UK has relatively strong worker protections though (not as good as our friends on the continent but still decent).
