But with respect to an employer�s privately-owned internal e-mail system,
the prevalent view among lawyers is that employees do not have rights of
privacy in e-mail communications they send and receive on their employer�s
system unless the employer acts in a manner giving rise to a reasonable
expectation of privacy.
there have been case's that have went to court in Jacksonville, fl. where a
long time "over 12 yrs"well known city employee was fired!! for having
certain things in her mail folder on a city system!!

In the U.S., e-mail (and voice mail) is the property of the employer. There
can be no expectation of privacy. At this point, it is more of a matter of
company policy. For example, a manager would probably be able to
read his/her subordinate's e-mail but could probably have the subordinate
censured for reading his/her e-mail.
As ISP's anything we uncover in the normal course of system administration
can be acted upon (i.e. turned into authorities.) However, once we contact
law enforcement, we are in a sense deputized and cannot look into their
e-mail accounts without a search warrant.
