    Emails are encrypted for transmission.

    no. they may be and probably most of them are, but they are not by design. mx to mx can still go in plaintext.

        that’s not relevant question. people are running old software and people are running software in other than default settings. so while the mail can be encrypted on the way, you can’t count on that.
