You should consider email, home or work, to be public.
At work, your employer may well be legally able to maintain a complete
record of all emails sent and received. In some cases, they may even be
legally required to maintain such a record. Whether anyone looks at this
record is another matter--but don't assume they don't!
Email is not encrypted or in any way protected from interception. Think of
it as though it is paper postcards you are mailing through your standard
mail service.
