I'd never dig through his private stuff, or insist on checking his phone to see who he's called. But really, if I did look through his phone list or he looked through mine just out of curiosity, I don't think either of us would feel mistrusted. And sometimes if we're just chilling in his room I dig through his stuff and make him play dress-up (hehehe), but if he didn't want me to, I'd quit.
I think
that's trust. Feeling comfortable that the person you're with trusts you, and feels he can be honest enough to share his personal life with you. And at the same knowing he'll let me know if I do something that bugs him, and I'll do my best to change it. And vice versa.
The idea that looking through someone's e-mail is a huge invasion of privacy strikes me as pretty juvenile. I mean, "gimme your e-mail password, I don't trust you" is an invasion of privacy. "I'm bored and Billy Bob left his e-mail open. Let's see if there's anything interesting," is not.
