I ran two polls

How Many Percent of your emails would you like to make public

How many percent of your emails would you like to encrypt

Now.. we had interesting results..

First of all, huge majority don't want to make their emails public, yet this very huge majority does not encrypt their emails!
This clearly shows that there is a misunderstanding that "Email today is private"...

Well, a bit of news for you, every email you send unencrypted is like a postcard you send, everything you write on it can be viewed by people who deliver it! And thats a lot of people on internet!

The only way you can be safe and secure that only the receiver can read it and noone else is by encrypting it! Otherwise, its as good as making it public!

Can you please elaborate a little: for example, we have a box on some free provider (GMail). Who else except them can read letter? Is it mail provider on the other end (where we sent letter)? What are others who can access correspondence?...

Your email travels thru numerous servers, including your ISP. Unless its encrypted anyone who has access to those points can read your email
