Privacy in the workplace is a moot point. There isn't any. Unless you use your personal cellphone to contact people, IT may be looking over your shoulder. Of course, there are limitations on that; typically, only certain people are allowed to review e-mails. The reality of many corporations is that they block certain sites and filter their e-mail program, but don't have the staff to monitor everything.
Reviewing e-mail may only be done for business purposes; I know of someone in IT who monitored an employees e-mail for personal reasons and was creating a hostile work environment for that person. Shortly after the employee complained to HR there was a layoff, in which the IT person was included. It's difficult not to believe the IT person was added due to inappropriate monitoring of e-mail.
