Can someone put a subpoena on your email account? in a civil case?

That's all, I'm just curious. If you are in a civil case, say, regarding unpaid loans, can they send an order to gmail/yahoo/facebook/whatever so they release all of your info, or that's only reserved for criminal court?Can someone put a subpoena on your email account? in a civil case?
Yes. Subpoenas can be served in civil cases to collect evidence. However, the request must be reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. So they can't just order the release of ';all your info'; from everyone.Can someone put a subpoena on your email account? in a civil case?
They could ask for one from a judge, but to tell the truth, I can't think of why a judge would grant one and why a plaintiff would go to the trouble of getting it regarding unpaid loans. For other stuff, particularly child porn or something of that nature, then most definitely.
