I would think it is legal in most jurisdictions. Most companies officially state stuff like "Everything you do on the company computer can and may be monitored".
Do I like it? Now that is a different question.

It seems to me a bit complicated - move the company to 365 and you all this and more built in...

If installed by the Company yes but it is mostly useless - unless the use an external e-mail provider - because the mail server IS owned by the Company, as it is the e-mail account you are using. Your internal e-mail account is simply a resource that the company allows you to use, just as your desk and workstation.

Would depend on jurisdiction.
Over here it's legal, BUT, it needs to be made properly official. The company needs to inform all employees that it keeps a copy of all email. Or put differently, company mail belongs to the company.
When I worked as a network tech we had a different name for it though, backup.

But do you backup without people knowing that you do so ?

Nobody actually knows that
a) backups are made periodically;
b) backups are readable by anyone with physical access to it.
I saw too many feaces of employees going white (or red) when they discovered that we backup everything shared on the company servers.

No, but I believe many people don't always understand the implications.
Then again, I've been asked plenty of times to get mails from a backup that's been deleted by "mistake".

It is even required in Germany and many other countries to store business mails (see Email archiving - Wikipedia[^]).
However, such is usually not done by BCC but by implementing it on the mail server.
|
|
|
|
|
Exchange already has the ability to log every email and if you have the authority in your company to decide that you want emails logged you can make it happen already. So this is obviously intended for purely malicious purposes.
|
|
|
|
|
Some companies use external mail providers, and Google & co already have company plans to manage the e-mails.

Legal? From a company setting yes provided they have a policy for it.
If I were to put it on someone else's computer without their permission and point it to my email? That might be a little less so.
The legality of many things depends on getting (through force or obfuscation) permission to do it.
|
|
|
|
|
Legal? Yep, and it's even required by law depending on country and business sector. In the US, you might be forced by law to archive emails, IM's, everything, for up to seven years.

Email has never been designed with security in mind.
As others have pointed out, if it's a company computer, it's already been well established it's their data. Your mail admin also already has access to all of this anyway. Some employment contracts/employee handbooks even spell it out. At this point this should not be a surprise to anyone.
So given all this, you shouldn't have any concern since you're only dealing with work-related email on your work account. Right?
As a rule - I don't give my work email address to friends/family (phone number, sure, but not email). That way nobody can send me anything that's not work-related, inadvertently or not. Bonus: It prevents your Facebooking relatives from sending you cat videos at work.

Hi All,
Any one use JIRA, it seems to me a good way of noting issues which can the do the digital equlivent of slip down the sofa...There seems to be a way of ignoring things, then claiming they were not on JIRA. And when they are checked against my name they do not appear, however I can remember being late to lunch on a Friday as I was typing them up.
Hmm Don't trust it...

Have you tried tweaking your search parameters? Like "WAS assigned to" or "created by".

Hmm, have to give that a go, I am a JIRA novice. But I keep hearing people complaining...
|
|
|
|
|
People are always complaining...
|
|
|

Everything is ok as long as they are complaining. You are in trouble when they become apathetic and don't care what happens anymore.
