No, evidence obtained illegally, including letters that were opened without permission, is generally not admissible in court due to the exclusionary rule, which prohibits the use of illegally obtained evidence in legal proceedings.
The accused has the right to challenge the admissibility of any evidence used against them at trial. Whether an e-mail or any other evidence is "illegally obtained" is subject to the interpretation of the court, not the accused. If the court rules that evidence is obtained unlawfully, it can be suppressed at trial and not considered.

Mapp v. Ohio
In law this is known as the exclusionary rule.
Unless you are willing to reveal your source of information, you have NO evidence. Evidence is only able to substantiate claims if it can be proved.
The exclusionary rule dictates that any evidence obtained with an improperly received search warrant or evidence obtained without any search warrant would be held inadmissible in a criminal trial.
