Actually that's not necessarily true. It depends largely upon what your employee handbook and privacy agreements say. If they explicitly state that the e-mail system is company property and may be subject to monitoring then...it might not be illegal. It's assumed, in many cases, that if the employee has been notified that their e-mail is company property and may be monitored that any monitoring that may occur, even months later, is not without their knowledge.

Best for Ted to consult with an attorney licensed to practice employment law in his state. Assuming he's in the USA.
