Navy: Don’t access personal e-mail at work
Frank Tiboni writes in FCW.com:
Navy employees can no longer access personal e-mail accounts, including Yahoo Mail and Microsoft Hotmail, from the service’s networks without approval.
That is one of six rules in the Navy’s new acceptable use of information technology policy issued in July. The “Effective Use of Department of Navy IT Resources,” states that the service’s military, civilian and contractor users cannot:
* Automatically forward official Navy e-mail to a commercial account or use a commercial account for official government business without approval.
* Install or modify computer hardware or software without approval.
* Circumvent or disable security measures, countermeasures or safeguards, such as firewalls, content filters and antivirus programs.
* Participate in or contribute to activity that causes a disruption or denial of service.
* Write, code, compile, store, transmit, transfer or introduce malicious software, programs or code.
* Use peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing applications, such as Kazaa, Shareaza and OpenP2P without approval and only in support of Navy missions.

It says nothing about accessing your personal email for personal use, only if you are using it for government use.
