Can't access any outside email from work.

Seriously, where do you work? China?

Everyone I know that works at a financial services firm has the same restriction. I know people at Goldman, Lehman, Credit Suise and a few others that can only check work email.

Why? Afraid you'll discuss secrets on the other e-mail?

[/ QUOTE ]
As Daver already mentioned, company email is logged while outside email isn't. His example of a trader was good, as were others that mentioned discussing any private information. I don't have access to anything that would really matter to anyone here, but there are still things that my company doesn't want to be public and it's a lot harder to tell if someone's published them if you allow access to outside email accounts.

But PM'ing them on the forum, completely legit.

I'm sure they'd prefer that twoplustwo was blocked. I'm guessing that they don't know about it and the filters don't catch it because the name and description seem relatively harmless.
