The following is an except from my first book which addresses legal access of email. It is imperative, in my view to know the laws within one's native country!
Enjoy the article and check out the website!

Email privacy––specific legal references
As
long as there is email, there will be questions concerning its privacy. The
origins of the Fourth Amendment date back to circa 1754, when British tax
collectors were given the powers to search homes and private records of
colonists. It is this amendment that guarantees privacy. There are a number of
laws that have been enacted specifically to provide clarity and protection
given by this original law. To discuss them in detail is not in the scope of
this book, but some summarizations will be stated in this section.
The
Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) was enacted in 1986 to define federal
electronic eavesdropping provisions. It was intended to create “a fair balance
between the privacy expectations of citizens and the legitimate needs of law
enforcement.” Congress also sought to address new technologies by assuring that
personal information would remain safe.
The
following table constitutes the legal actions that are needed to access the
contents of an email at various times as outlined by epic.org.

In addition to the
specific government exceptions outline above, there is other information that
the government is empowered to collect from communications providers in the
form of customer records. Under § 2703, an administrative subpoena—a National
Security Letter (NSL)—can be served on a company to
compel it to disclose basic subscriber information. Section 2703 also allows a
court to issue an order for records; whether an NSL or court order is warranted
depends upon the information that is sought.
