Just like everyone else - the only reason we know about Microsoft is because that information was leaked. The only way to break from that is to run your own SMTP server and have all your friends run their own SMTP server.
Thinking that those argument can be used as a deciding point between different webmail/email providers is either insane or ignorant (unless said provider resides somewhere like Russia, on an oil rig or in space). Snowden already leaked documents indicating the NSA completely compromised the Google network[1].
The only way to securely communicate over the internet is with something such as IM with a technology like OTR Messaging[2]. You are lying to yourself if you think anyone else has the remote semblance of secure.
