Party of the snowden leaks were that the five eyes capture and record everything.

Everything.

Your pop solution with deletion only deletes your copy; not the one the NSA has. Maybe that's not part of your threat model, which is fine, but it's part of mine

Then you need to stop using email altogether. Encrypting only one server like Tuta or Proton does nothing if you correspond with people who are not on it.

Which is why I am not the one advocating personal hosting and POP + deletion as a privacy solution
