Re: Employee Termination and Email
Generally such acocunts belong to the employer and they can be kept indefinitely unless there was an agreement otherwise. The former employer however cannot represent that you are still an employee or take action which would indicate that the individual is still workign there.
Think about it like any other address or phone number. Unless you were using your personal one for work, then it is generally the employer's. Of course, any of this may have been modified by agreement.
Hope that helps,
