looks at the problems companies are having because of private use of company email
and the possible solutions.

Although superficially similar to the use of company phones or surfing websites on
company time use of email introduces new problems - more akin to employees using
company notepaper for private correspondence. There are legal and regulatory
implications nowadays because all email from a companys email address has to be seen
in principle as official communications from the company. The move to archiving
greatly aggravates the problems.

The paper suggests that an outright ban is going to be impractical but comes up with
some interesting alternatives for companies that safeguard their rights whilst
respecting the privacy of employees private communications.
