Re: Employee using email at the office
You may be committing a violation of the former employee's privacy rights by using his email to the extent you become privy to his confidential and personal email. It would depend on whether he was led to believe that his email address was private. I would need to know more about how the email account is used.

No, the e-mail account is owned by the employer.
