My email to a friend went unanswered for an unusually long time, so I texted and called. It turns out that his office recently blocked all personal email on his work machine. No normal email sites can be accessed, and certainly no applications with direct messages. Only one thing is now allowed on work machines: work-related matter, exclusively. You can check your phone during lunch but otherwise office culture discourages that. Anyone sneaking a peek at a phone comes under suspicion.
