This may highlight a difference between US & UK Laws. AIUI in the UK there does not have to be a clear possibility of a physical threat; all that is needed is for the material in question (emails) to cause alarm, harassment & distress.

Of course even if those criteria are met it does not guarantee police action. (FWIW further to my comment yesterday it is not the Computer Misuse Act that is relevant to this in the UK; it is other legislation that is used to deal with alleged offenders.)
