I am going to leave my company in September, my team colleague and my manager want to ask IT to keep all my emails record under share path after my leaving, then they can drop in to search history email chains. I feel very naked as my inbox also contains some personal information such as “ superannuation, life insurance,health records... so just wandering, can they allow to do that?...it looks like breaking the privacy policy. And also none of previous employees in the team were required to keep their emails somewhere, I feel it’s very unfair.

Your employer owns your work email account, you are merely allowed to use to it. If there are personal emails contained there, you should delete them. However, based on your company's backup policies that doesn't mean that they are actual no longer there.

There can be personal information in emails send by or on behalf the company (think HR records, salary slips, tax records, bonus notifications, insurance related communication (if you have an insurance plan from your employer), pension plans, performance reviews, etc). Just because someone else in the company (the sender) knows what is in it, doesn't mean every one else in the company has the right to see it. Perhaps in the US where there are hardly any employee rights; in Europe, employees have rights, and privacy is valued.

Your company email belongs to the company, not you.
You should have no expectation of privacy regarding your work email account, voice messages, instant messaging, chat, etc. It may or not be legal for your employer to audit, review, listen to, or read your work communications, but you should assume that they will. If you don't want your employer to know your personal business then don't conduct personal business with work provided resources.
Never mix your work and personal lives, communication, etc.

If you don't want your employer to know your personal business then don't conduct personal business with work provided resources.
