Regarding the implementation in the EU, in my understanding, the
scanning is baked in on an OS level with pattern recognition, and the
forwarding to law enforcement agencies happens fully automated (so only
the more obscure OSs, with dev communities instead of single legal
entities behind them, may remain free). 'Client-side' in that sense of
course means your transfer encryption, e.g. PGP, remains intact; your
privacy nevertheless won't.
Btw, I just cannot imagine much CSAM being distributed via email, but
who knows.
