Assuming the employer is not a government, and that the employer owns the server on which the email is stored, and furnishes the email connection, then it belongs to the employer. He can go into it since it is his "property." I can't understand why you can't get your bank accounts credit card iformation and tax returns. What have they to do with you emai?
