Not unless compelled by the government.

It wouldn't be. The FBI needs to show a judge that email is at least
relevant to an investigation and, in most cases, there is probable cause to
believe a crime has been commited -- random emails don't fit that
description.
Then again, when email is more than six months old, the law says a judge
"shall" issue a court order for stored emails when subpoenaed by the
government. Many observers consider such language a rubber stamp.
