If you're using company equipment on company time, there is no reasonable expectation of privacy in use of the computer.

NO. You have no expectation of privacy on company equipment, phones, computers, programs, email, web browsing, etc. You can be fired for using them for personal use, or for what you say or do on them.

Exactly the opposite is true. What you use at work or do at work is completely NOT private, with a few rare exceptions, and email is NOT one of them.
