I've read recently (was it on /.?) that in order for 4th amendment protections to apply, there has to be a reasonable expectation of privacy.
When you send unencrypted bit streams over equipment that is owned by a third party, you have no reasonable expectation of privacy.
If you want to create a reasonable expectation of privacy, use a privacy envelope of some sort. E.g., PGP. Otherwise, the email you send has even less legal protection than snail mail. AS IT SHOULD BE.
