> is to use a service like Kolab for email, which is located in Switzerland, and hence is under different laws than the US,
don't do this. Since 1999, email providers in Switzerland are forced to keep all logs and data for one year (currently in discussion to prolong this to 5 years) and hand all data over at the authorities request.
If you don't comply you will be punished by fines or even jail.
I once (early 2000s) received one of these orders and I honestly don't remember whether it had a judges signature, but I think it was just some police officer signing it, so I can't be sure whether there was (and is) any court oversight.
If you want your conversations to be confidential, don't choose a Swiss provider.
