» Melissa Dylan - Is resignation through company email unethical?

Resignation via hard copy is still preferred. It's not "unethical," per se, to resign via e-mail, but it is unprofessional. It doesn't take that much time from your day to print out 4 copies of a letter and pop them into interoffice mail. Oftentimes a hard copy is needed for a file, and if you need the employer as a reference in the future, they will come across your file, see a nicely-written-and-printed resignation, and have a good impression.
