Hi,
Does the IT-law permit to keep a copy of all incoming mails of its employees' to one corporate mailbox - with the knowledge of the employees?

Of course they can, it's their machines, their network, their power and they are paying you. Of course they can.
 
Actually,
depending where you are in the world it may very well be illegal, Some recent changes to rules and legislation have made reading employees e-mail without reasonable grounds or suspicion of criminal activity.

Is there any sites where these legalities can be found for different countries? I m in Nigeria & want to know abt the laws here!
Thanx. Ash :cool:
