I am the secretary and we have Outlook at my work. I have a strong suspicion that one of the admins we laid off a couple of weeks ago is checking some of our office emails from her home computer. Could our IT person find out for sure if and when this is happening, maybe through tracking the IP address? How much effort would this take, and if so, could we bring legal action against this person?

It really depends on how the network is set up, but yes, in most cases a competant IT peson could set up some kind of monitoring to see what's happening.

I can't speak to the "legal action" question - I'm not a lawyer.

Someone hacked into my email inbox in other words accesed my email account.I would think on June 4th 2007 at night. Deleted everything in my inbox and several folders. Some that I did not open and read as yet. I want to know if you can tell when and where and if i am able to get my emails backed to my inbox. Also to put a stop to this person they have invaded my privacy.
Can I recover my emails that they deleted

If someone has my password and username and is checking my email from another computer, is there any technology available on the market to identify who this person is? I have a hotmail account

How do I recoup professionally after someone was monitoring my emails and read what I thought were deleted emails to another colleague that were written in frustration about her? Especially since she had written several disparaging emails about our boss in frustration, however; I had deleted them and would have not ever used them in a retaliatory manner.
