You can't be serious. Microsoft could have filed complaint against employee with law enforcement agency who then would have received warrant to search any properties that law enforcement agency deemed as required.
Key here is that Microsoft is not searching itself. Content of the email account does not belong to Microsoft, it belongs to the user. To search it Microsoft needs explicit permission of user or law enforcement agency.
