Secure Email
It's worth noting that the NSA, CIA, etc. aren't breaking any U.S. laws by reading email that's stored in a server outside the U.S..
The only way to be sure that no one but the recipient can read your email is to encrypt it before you send it. Of course, even the recipient can't read an encrypted message if he's lost the key. Plus, encrypting your email could be a red flag singling you out for special attention by institutions looking to justify their existence and increase their budget.
