    It’s not encrypted. You can’t compare that to Proton or Tuta.

    I didn’t compare it to them. Besides, what good are they when no one I’m communicating with uses encryption? Unless you actually have people who are willing to use the same provider you do, or do the PGP thing to encrypt/decrypt it themselves, Proton and Tuta are no better than any others in that regard.

      I’m talking about your email inbox being stored in an encrypted format on the provider’s server. This is what Proton and Tuta do. They encrypt all incoming Emails with your PGP public key before storing them in your inbox.

      What you are talking about is different, and it doesn’t need to be supported by the provider. You can always manually encrypt outgoing messages, no matter which provider you use. These are not the same things though.
