Why do you think you are safer/more secure with a different system like nokia offering ?
It does not help if nokias servers pull or send the email secure if it is sent or received in unencrypted form to anyone else, or if someone has his hands on the servers.

The point is, unless the email is either encrypted end to end by people you trust or, encrypted on your device and decrypted on the receivers device, you can just send all messages plain text unencrypted, that will make not much difference.

And, there are not many people you can trust. If the UAE has pressed RIM to setup BIS servers in their country so that the authorities there are able to read the customers emails, do you think your email is safe in a more "important" country like the US or the UK ?
