If someone gives you their password. Is it illegal to check their email if they gave it to you with no stipulations?

While I have found no caselaw on this subject, I think that voluntarily providing someone with a password without any restrictions imposed on its use constitutes an implicit waiver of privacy in anything that password would provides access to. My answer might be different if I knew whether the password was specifically the password to access email, or the specific user password authorizing access to the computer itself.
