I think that people dont realize that they shouldnt use work email for personal correspondence. Its even less private than a free email service like Gmail. In the late 90s/early 2000s I was an admin at a fortune 500 company and people would move to different geographic BUs often. When that happened, we had to migrate their email accounts. The practice at the time was to robocopy their home drive and export/import their exchange mailbox. We would then reset their password and validate things were in order. I would never outright read someones mail, but you would be surprised what was at the top of someones inbox in their work email.
Additionally, when robocopying their profile data you would see their internet history(each visited/cached site, cookies, etc). I couldnt believe the number of VP/C level employees that would have vast quantities of porn and shady history on their work machine. no judgement here, but if worker bees had the same content they would be fired without question.
Do what you want on your own time or computer, but dont expect a work PC to be private or not monitored.
