The thing that Germany did is that they put electronic mail on the same level as normal snail mail. And each mail addressed to some one is belonging to that person. No matter if the person sits at home on a private mail or if the person sits in a office behind a corporate mail. The mail addressed to him belongs to him. As a juristic entity (the company) you can request to look and read that mail but you need to request it from the official owner (the user). You could do it without asking the user but the line between legal and illegal is very thin in that matter. I don't 100% understand everything my self. I am just an observer from another German speaking country. -- Psssst! Schon vom neuen GMX MultiMessenger gehört?
