It is hard to say.  One could reasonably interpret this chain of events as the
employee giving permission, by using the account after receiving notice that
such use was subject to the account being monitored or examined by the
employer.  If such notice (and subsequent usage/agreement by the employee) is
necessary for the employer to monitor and examine the account, than the claim
of automatic ownership of the account and the information contained therein by
the employer due to the employer's ownership of the equipment is called into
question.
