There's been a few developments.
First off, Google now claims that emails sent through its service, Gmail, are now encrypted for the entire routing.
Yeah, well. Nothing in Google's announcement would seem to indicate that they haven't given the decryption keys to the NSA, or that the NSA hasn't stolen them. And the NSA is claiming that the tech giants all were fully cooperating with the NSA's rummaging through their system, at least until Snowden blew the whistle on them. Google, Yahoo and all the rest have since been exhibiting a Captain Renault-level of outrage at NSA snooping.
Yahoo has not been pleased about the Brits rooting around through their system whenever some detective at Scotland Yard feels like it. So they're moving their operations to Ireland, where it takes a court order for such things. Needless to say, Inspector Lastrade and his chums aren't terribly happy about that.

Apparently, the NSA feels like gmail users aren't likely to share their world-domination plans over email, currently. I'm sure they ordered Google to offer this microscopic illusion of safety.
