Using your work computer for your personal data is just bad no matter how you look at it or encrypt it. First, if you use your company email for personal emails and you think that you have gotten in the clear by deleting your personal email, which you can't do when you are dead, think again. Unless you work for a company that spends $100 a year on their IT budget they'll have plenty of copies of everyone's mailboxes backed up to some tapes that will be around for at least months if not years. Yes that's right all those pictures your wife sent you last year while she was bored are stored on some backup tapes and can be retrieved at anytime until those tapes have been recycled. Some companies might also backup user's Documents directories so watch out there too. Best advice. Use an external parties webmail service (free or paid for) for you personal email. Your email is never stored on your work computer when you check your email, which is why I'm not suggesting imap/pop. Course there are some companies that might just backup your browser's cache directory but there are solutions for that too. Am I paranoid? Yes. But one thing is certain. I never ever use company email for my personal email nor do I ever store any of my personal data that I do not want to share with the rest of my IT group I work with on any work computer either.
