If you store your emails in a hosting provider then the hosting provider can read your emails. If you store your emails at your server at home then police can break your door plug in to your server and read your emails. Even if the disk is encripted they can read the encription key from the memory. Now I trust more Google than Microsoft, if you are non USA citizen of course. And I trust a foregn authority more than a local. This can change in for your case.
- thalev 10y agoWell I live in The Netherlands and somehow I trust the Dutch police to only enter my house for a valid reason, unfortunately I can't say the same for Google/NSA reading my emails.

If someone sues you the bar for getting the data by physical force is much higher than it is for having a third party turn it over. On the other hand the bar for compromising your server is usually much lower than it is for gmail.
