The item to be avoided is having personal e-mail configured to use the same client as your enterprise e-mail. As an example Yahoo or Gmail configured as a pop client in enterprise MS outlook client along with Exchange. Because of the possibility of e-mail infection harvesting up the institution's global address list or even crossing over and propagating using the allowances of the internal enterprise exchange system I believe keeping personal e-mail out of the enterprise client is probably a defensible statement. If they are going to use personal e-mail be sure make them use the web clients for those services.

Does anyone have a policy that specifically says that the use of personal email on College owned PCs is not allowed? (POP, IMAP, Web, Direct Exchange, etc)?
Actually we have the opposite. As long as it is not for political, monetary, etc reasons, personal email is allowed. -- Pete Hickey God, grant me the Senility to forget the The University of Ottawa people I never liked anyway, Ottawa, Ontario the good fortune to run into the ones I do, Canada and the eyesight to tell the difference.
