Re: corporate email
Most likely. It is their servers and technically their property. You probably don't have a legitimate expectation of privacy. However, your case may vary. Do not take this as gospel.

Absolutely. Emails sent while using a company computer on a company network is subject to monitoring. There is no right to expectation of privacy. Anything you send may be monitored by your employer and may subject you to dismissal.
