If your employer allows reasonable personal use of the internet, and does not explicitly state that public webmail systems are out of bounds (A security policy - gasp!), then they have no grounds to snoop on anything that you do.
If they allow use of the system then that use is confidential, unless you waive that right by agreeing to and signing a legally binding document (Internet use policy) which states that you allow them to monitor all usage....
