Everything accessible on the company computer is legal for the company to look at.

We aren't talking about files left on the work computer - we're talking about accessing files on a remote computer based (presumably) upon the person's saving his account information in the browser. The company knew it was not authorized to log into that account, post-termination, and they don't get a 'freebie' based upon the fact that the browser automatically populated the username and password boxes.

sounds like:
if you left cookiees or saved your account information and password pertaining to your bank account on the company's computer,
they have the right to access your bank account and look at all your personal information.
...is what everyone is saying

No, everyone is not saying that. A few people are ignoring the difference between information left on a computer and information on a remote server that is accessed without authority. However, the bank account information is a good example. If its not legal to log into someone's bank account just because you happened to run across their username and password, its not legal to do that with their email either.
