I know this is not secure, but my employer won't care or check into it unless they are told too. Which is my point as long as my employer is not told he is unhappy with one employee or project they will never know or care.. I work at a Government facility and to be perfectly honest by the time they catch on to what I am saying I will probably be long dead it will be 2065 and someone will go "This guy Steve is sending personal email from one of our accounts Let's fire him" not knowing that I am either too old to care or 6ft under. I just don't like to feel threatened. I think people need to seriously think before they send something in email!!
