Any chance they could get you for downloading copyrighted emails without a license?

  IANAL, but copyright violations almost always have to do with distribution rather than downloads. They get P2P users on the technicality that to download, you also end up uploading.

    Interesting. I wonder if disabling uploading is any defense.

    That's not a technicality, and with most clients (e.g. BitTorrent) it's quite possible to download without uploading. There's a fair amount of work focused around penalizing people for downloading without uploading. All I really torrent anymore is Linux images, and there I usually find I can't seed more than I download if I try.
