In White the court ruled that reading SAVED emails is not a violation of federal wiretapping laws, but recording them as they are typed or sent IS wiretapping, a federal felony. I hope you're not committing a felony to learn about something that's going to come up on court, like an affair or theft. That could be very costly.

If the user is an employee using a computer owned by the employer, emails can be saved with effective notice and there are a few other cases when it's ok.
In most cases, there's a more effective way that's not a felony - like logging internet traffic at your firewall.
