Also keep in mind, most of the people you'll want to send mail to will still be using email providers located in the US. So the messages will just be NSA'ed when they're delivered, instead of when they're sent.
On the other hand, if you have specific counterparties and you can get them to switch to the same thing you're using, just use TorMail, or run a VPS somewhere where you both have SSH keys and use it as a dead-drop, or whatever. "The solution must involve SMTP and POP/IMAP" is only relevant when you're communicating with unauthenticated peers... at which point, you'd better not say anything important anyway. ;)
