First, let me state I am not a lawyer, but the following quoted
material is from the University's publically available AUP.

University of Minnesota AUP states authorized users includes alumni.
They must adhere to the AUP.

If they are not employees, then their email can (should) be regarded as
personal and, per AUP, "The University accepts no responsibility or
liability for any personal or unauthorized use of its resources by users."
This is just a protection clause for the University.  The user may not
be protected, however:

        "Depending on the nature and severity of the offense, policy violations
        may result in loss of access privileges, University disciplinary action,
        and/or criminal prosecution."

so the "and/or criminal prosecution" applies to alumni.
