if state actors where your threat model you should not be using email in the first place for communication, and if you do at minimum you should be using encryption inside the communication not relaying on a 3rd party to protect your messages. Further if you are a US Citizen talking with Other US Citizens, then having your data in the US is the best place for it... Putting it outside the US automatically eliminates any of the paper thin constitutional concerns the state actors would have to pretend to care about... If your email in a 5 eyes nation then it makes their job even easier.
