What is the best e-mail system to preserve privacy? [View all]

After all of the revelations about what the NSA has been doing, I am concerned about my privacy on the internet. I use Startpage for browsing, but my workplace uses gmail for e-mail, and it is monitored by my employers. I would like to set up another e-mail account that is private. I am not tech-savvy, as you can all probably tell, so I would appreciate advice on this.
Thanks in advance.
