This. People need to wise up about this.
The ONLY way to keep email content secure is for the content to be encrypted on the senders local client and then decrypted on the recipients local client. (ie the keys used for encryption/decryption are on a secure local machine, not on a 3rd-party server).
Any other setup, you have to assume that email has the same privacy as sending an unsealed postcard through the postal system.
For example, all the FM technical guys have got full, unfettered access to all of your emails. The only thing between your email content and FM's staff is trust. Nothing more.
