The statement includes this: 'It is solely for the use of the intended recipient. Unauthorized interception, review, use or disclosure is prohibited and may violate applicable laws". I was the intended recipient and now they are threatening me.

Technically, no, you can't.
But would you win in a court of law? The area of email communications is still pretty new and fuzzy. It's not 100% certain what would happen.
But it's best not to violate confidentiality notices without getting approval in writing to share the info.

Notice the first statement "solely for the use of the intended recipient." This means that if you're not the intended recipient that you can not review, use, or disclose the email.
Since you are the intended receipent you legally can review, use, or disclose the email.
Read the statement again and you'll see they're not threatening you but others.

That statement (or one nearly the same) is automatically tacked on to ALL e-mails from many business e-mail systems. Depending on what is in the e-mail, it may not be relevant. If you are the intended recipient, you are probably authorized to share it with whoever you want. IF the contents of the e-mail are legally protected, the confidentiality statement is redundant.

I don't think you can be bound by a statement you didn't agree with tacked onto the end of an email. My employer has employees sign a non-disclosure statement, as a part of the hiring process, that includes company email. Now, that's binding.

This can't really be assessed without knowing what was in the email. You may have violated his copyright. That's nice, if he wants to spend $350 just for the filing fee and goodness knows how much more for the attorney. Otherwise, realistically...I'd probably yawn and ask him to cite the applicable laws.
I am not a lawyer. Just a realist.

hi - thank you for asking me to respond to this question. I even have not made any connections with others on yahoo solutions, yet rather savor seeing human beings's comments concerning their faith and spirituality, even however some cases it fairly is unbelievably damaging. i will say that I even have not been engaging as lots interior the R&S section presently because of the fact no longer something has fairly sparked my activity adequate to handle the only or 2 emails i'm getting concerning my comments. it fairly is mostly a controversy, even though in case you prefer to work out the different persons standpoint and settle for it as their certainty, some cases they are no longer prepared to settle for what you have confidence and could no longer merely enable it bypass. That being mentioned...engaging in this and different sections has given me the present of perception into human beings's lives. it fairly is a huge element once you attempt to advance a sixteen month previous daughter and understand that those questions approximately intercourse, marriage, gay human beings, etc. are coming earlier than i could like. a much wider view of the international and the individuals in it fairly is probable the excellent present I even have won. I mailed a youthful woman who replaced into pregnant some books I had from my being pregnant, and that replaced right into a recent in itself understanding i'd desire to help somebody out of their time of choose. yet another present - the means to leap in this sight at artwork (like i'm now) and take a mini-wreck from the grind and clean my head of numbers and shoppers. i'm hoping that your God sends you some potential and love in some time of choose! preserve your self. I even have chanced on that the Nag Hammadi library has some rather uplifting messages in it, exceedingly the Gospel of Thomas: (33) Jesus mentioned, "pontificate out of your housetops that which you will hear on your ear. For no one lighting fixtures a lamp and places it under a bushel, nor does he positioned it in a hidden place, yet particularly he gadgets it on a lampstand so as that all and sundry who enters and leaves will see its easy."
