You know, at the risk of sounding like an ass, there is a simple solution to
this "tricky moral problem."  Stop reading people's friggin' email.

It's a matter of respect.

If there's a problem with a particular employee, and legitimate and
verifiable reasons exist to investigate that person's actions, then fine -
look through their email as part of an investigation.  Just don't do it
randomly and without reason.  Have probable cause before you start snooping
around.

All this talk about who "owns" the systems and the data that gets
transferred through it is just a fascist smoke-screen.  Show your employees
some respect, and they'll be better employees than those governed by fear.

Just my 2 cents.
