In the US, the email belongs to the employer

So unless you have a written agreement saying that you *can* take it with you, the presumption should always be that you can't.

Of course an employer can't prohibit you from using information that was in your email file if that information is general knowledge that wasn't specific to their business or the work you were performing for them. But the default assumption is that everything in the file belongs to the employer, so if you access it after your employment ends the burden of proof is going to be on you to show that you didn't read any confidential information.
