Except that you wouldn't bar people from taking personal phone calls (for 
family emergencies, for example), so why bar them from using personal 
email. If you ban them from using third party providers, then they *will* 
use their business address for personal matters. If they do that, you can 
get into real problems - it could then be illegal to transfer an ex-staff 
member's email to their successor, because you could also be passing 
personal email in contravention of the data protection act.
