In some countries, email also has laws around it. My employer cannot read my email, even the email that sits on their servers in my employer-provided email account, except under specific circumstances dictated by law, with an oversight process dictated by law. YMMV. (There are exceptions for incidental access of email by technical staff for the purpose of making the email itself work, filtering spam, etc., vs. searching the contents and giving your boss a printout.)

There's an interesting intersection-of-laws issue. Our email is actually hosted by Microsoft Office 365. When Microsoft performs searches like this, do they touch multiple email accounts? If they ran the equivalent of a grep across their whole email infrastructure, they might violate Danish law in doing so, if their grep touched our mailboxes. So how they access email inboxes in general is something they ought to be pretty careful of. At the very least I hope they're making sure only to search Americans' inboxes, hosted on American servers.
