Do you guys use your work email address as primary email (for personal stuff as well) or do you maintain a separate email account? I think it would be a lot simpler to use one email account, but I don't know about the monitoring by the firms.

I know people who use their work as personal and even go as far as to send abusive messages to ex-girlfriends haha
I guess it really depends. If you are in anyway good they probably wont fire you for it unless they decide they need a reason to get rid of you.
Anything that's not related to work I use a separate email account. The downside is that I only check my email once or twice a day (or sometimes not at all).
NoTears, do you not check your other emails b/c you can't or b/c you choose not to?
Every email you send from your work account is logged and will be permanently saved. Thus, the guideline I've heard is: don't write anything by email that you wouldn't want on the front page of the WSJ.
If you really wanna bitch someone out, use Hotmail.
It's because I can't.
If you work for real I-Bank and they're NASD, they have to store their e-mails for 10 YEARS.
Everyhing is saved, mointored and watched.
I use my e-mail for personal stuff, but never send anything raunchy, racists, sexist or very deragatory from it (I save those for Yahoo!).
I speak to my friends regularly using it, try not to swear and keep mentions of drugs to a mimimum. If someone sends you an e-mail that isn't "safe" DO NOT RESPOND. You can get in trouble if you respond to it (bank can use it against you, should they want to)!
I once met a SG Cowen analyst that got fired 1-2 months prior to his bonus b/c he was sending porn around.
Most banks block all webmail sites, so no way exists to check your personal email while at work.
you can check some of your personal e-mail on your BlackBerry. that's what i did at my old bulge.
many banks block the same sites on the blackberry.
you can however have a personal blackberry, Q, or iPhone when it comes out
