Using worst possible and least private solution is hardly the answer.
I suppose hosting mail server at some small or middle size company, 
where there is payed full-time email server administrator is the better 
solution, then putting company's private e-mail and internal 
correspondence in the hands of NSA spying or US courts disposal (that 
every US company is obliged to allow) and that goes for cloud too. It is 
not only the case of governmental overseing it is others too.

I recently figured that Gmail through it's web interface forbids sending 
any type of archive within the mail messages (.zip, .7z, .rar etc) and 
that level of user-bashing combined with mandatory indexing of message 
contents and lack of privacy, hardly comes in hand with company 
requirements.
I use Thunderbird/Gmail for public things that are supposed to be 
released on mailing lists or otherwise, anyway.
