Email is insecure by default. These companies play on wishful thinking to make people feel better about using it.

My admin friend told me that all email is now secure and encrypted by default.

Of course you have to trust whoever is hosting your email though. Don’t trust Gmail, yahoo, hotmail etc

Fun fact, it isn’t. Not compared to Signal Simplex or any other massager with strong encryption

This. The best you can do is encrypt your messages locally before sending. But then your email service provider still knows where you are, when and to whom you are sending the message to, and how long is it. And so does the recepient’s email provider and anyone in between. Best they can do is to promise not to keep that data. But it’s just that - a promise, which there is no way to verify.
