It depends on who it is and how serious the e-mail is. If it is a sybling/ parent or other family member as a simple joke (nothing serious) then you aren't being sent to jail. If you are using a boss's or someone you despises e-mail to mail someone a virus or other destructive item then yes it is and you are definitly getting arrested (so don't try it because even if it is another e-mail they can track the ip address it came from to track down all of your personal information and the cops will end up showing up at your front door.)

I'm no lawyer.. but I suspect it DEPENDS on who's email it is. If you are a government official your email is subject to the freedom of information act.

If you are and official investigating a crime you can read email.

If you have a reson to suspect unathorized use of your equipment.. such as spamming through your servers, you can read email.

Here is some official info:

Yes, it can be. There is a man who is facing up to 4 years in prison for reading his wife's e-mail because he thought she was cheating on him.
