to me this seems to be the most plausible explanation so far. but if this guy really does have someone snooping on his email he needs to move to a private hosted email server immediately.


i understand this is neckbeard territory and not reasonable for everyone, but going somewhere else -- perhaps email hosted outside the USA -- would be a good start.
Note that by doing this you are essentially betting that you are a more competent administrator than Google, which is probably not true. It's okay to not want to trust Google, it does not in any way follow that you can trust yourself more.

I'm not really sure why there's a "neckbead disclaimer" but I read that as using one of the european email hosts, and not rolling your own email server.
That doesn't really provide any benefits over Google hosting your e-mail either though, you're just picking a different and potentially (likely) less competent host, located in a country that probably has a much less favorable legal environment for you.
