Just use an email server outside the EU that will not respond to EU warrants. Almost all email transfers are protected by TLS these days. So the authorities won't know you are using encryption in the first place. If they suspect you of something they would have to come to you to get your IMAP password to check if your email is encrypted. PGP is, as before, a technical counterargument to this sort of oppression. Perhaps the powers that be need to be again reminded of its existence. After all, the proposal is to backdoor all encryption software. That is simply impossible.
