John,

Your regular Internet Policy (acceptable use agreement) should cover web-based e-mail.  For example, if your company 
policy is to restrict Internet usage to business use only, then your question is moot.  OTOH, if your policy permits 
limited personal use, then web-based e-mail would be OK, providing if falls into the "limited personal use" category.

A good policy is sufficiently general in nature to cover unforeseen events.  If it is too specific, it will need 
constant revision.

Off topic a bit here; my apologies, but my searches to date have come up
pretty empty.

I'm looking for any sample policies / archived discussions / etc. WRT
security policy for web-based e-mail access (e.g., HotMail, ExciteMail,
etc.).  Any references would be appreciated.

Thanks.
