Obviously you don't want to use your work email when communicating with PE firms etc but what about if you read and send emails (using a personal email address) on an ipad or something thats connected to the firm's wireless connection? Can banks track this somehow?
On that note, what about reading emails on gmail at your work computer?
Thanks.

Similarly, I would like to know if firms can track e-mails sent with personal e-mail accounts like yahoo or hotmail on their computers (these aren't blocked on our comps) or can they only track the stuff on outlook?
Would also like to find out.
Theoretically all that information is available to anyone with access to the network, it is encrypted of course. I don't see why they would go to the trouble of intercepting every email though.
Sweet that you have an iPad
watch out they can read your mind and tell if you are thinking you really would rather be somewhere else at 11pm on a Friday
seriously tho -> no they will not read your personal emails although maybe they theoretically could through high tech NSA interception (although this would probably be illegal)
"Sweet that you have an iPad"...and it shits in Kyle's mouth
Coming from someone who has worked at a boutique firm's IT department (i.e., me), I can say with certainty that most firms cannot get in to your personal email. Anything sent via company email is 1000% their domain (they can and do read that stuff, I would know :D ), but the most they can do with your personal email is see what's on your screen the exact moment you're on, and that's if you're using a company computer.
I work for my school's IT dept. We track everything but only access the data in an emergency (i.e. student is MIA) and we need authorization from the university president to do so
