So I handed in my notice last week, and now this week.....

Just get on with your job and ignore it especially as you are leaving. Why worry?

The standard notice period I had in the UK was three months. With one role I had when I handed my notice in, within a week they had shut down my email address and my company mobile. Effectively making my job incredibly difficult.

I contacted my boss and told him my concerns, and he gave me a whole load off rubbish about why it had happened. I told him my performance would dip on the back end of this.....it did.... I didn't care. I left.

In short, do not sweat it, focus on riding it out and then moving on to your new position, and congrats for having one!

I'm surprised they didn't just stick you on gardening leave.

send yourself an email and keep the conversation going about how you feel you are being watched etc

Yeah, your work email belongs to your employer. Slightly sneaky of them to not directly tell you all your communications were being forwarded to the MD but at this point it's probably not worth the hassle of kicking up a fuss about it seeing as you're leaving in a few weeks. Just let your other colleagues know so that any such monitoring of their accounts doesn't take them completely by surprise as well.

In the same way that people end up typing their Gmail account details into a phishing website and sometimes their account gets used to send out horrific amounts of spam, is there a guaranteed way to achieve the same end result with a work Exchange account?

Because do that and act like you have no idea what's going on.

Working in IT if someone asks for access to emails of someone who's left we still go via the legal team as it can contain personal email. But mega fail at "forwarding all emails" then sending out an auto-reply. Anyway have a read here:

Its in one of our dozens of policy documents that emails are monitored. We're allowed to send personal emails at work but we are supposed to put "private email" in the subject line.
I have discovered over the years that you shouldn't put anything in an email that you wouldn't want others to read.

Edited typos

I asked someone at work and similar policy here - they'd still run everything past legal and normally tell anyone involved.

Best thing to do once you've resigned is as little as possible.

Stay off email/phone etc - do the bare minimum you need to do to get by. Your leaving, don't worry about it.
