A co-worker needed some information this morning that I happened to
remember I had in my my hotmail account. So, I logged into my account
from his computer and got the information. I didn't have anything
"bad" in my hotmail account, but I'm curious as to what an
administrator can actually see over a network regarding one's hotmail
account. We have a sort of high-tech operation, so if it's common to
be able to look at someone's hotmail messages over a network, then I'd
say these people would be able to do it. Heck, you have to do a
separate "log on" to even be able to access the internet.

If you're reading email during working hours, the admin at your company is
legally entitled to monitor what you're reading. But that won't give them
access to any other email that you're not reading.

Now if they installed a keylogger on your computer, that's another story.
 
Also if you allowed IE to store the password, there are utilities to reveal
these.

RockXP, for example.
