As a past IT person myself, let me give you some info that might aid you in your decision....
I don't know about anywhere else, but here in Canada what is in a person's email is confidential and can only be opened by technical personnel with permission from that person's superior. (doesn't mean it doesn't happen, just means that if you find something you can't do anything with it unless you were under orders).
Same thing applies to files on a users personal network drive. Even if the network admin found loads of porn up there, they can't say or do anything about it unless the person's superior has given permission to view the directories.
Sooooo... what do you do? Well, if she's been sending out crap and smut email to a lot of people, see if you can get one of these people to report her to her boss, and then he/she would probably give permission for you to be in those emails... then when it happens, you can approach your friend and say, "I came across these while I was doing a check of so and so's email for her boss, and I just wanted to ask you about it." This way, you don't look like a spy, and can't be fired for reading confidential information... and you can approach your friend with your concerns without having to admit you were spying...
that's why i encrypt all my emails and use web interface only
