I am sorry if this is not the exact forum to post this question but
seemed the most relevant. I am working in a network with 40/50 PC's
managed by 3 people with administrator passwords. The OS used is
GNU/Linux. There is also a webmail service provided by the same
server, which is also maintained by the same people. My question is
the following: Since the administrator has of course access to all
user files, does this mean that one with administrator privileges
can read everybody's emails?

Yes.

If you are concerned about administrators of the mail server use
encryption: <http://gnupg.org/>

Note that if they are also administrators of your local computer, they
can as well steal your key and install a keylogger to get all your
gnupg passwords.
