>In 2025, it’s pretty much the same. In some respects, it’s worse:
Well not quite, if you use mutt, it is easy to encrypt emails with gpg. The setup could be a bit hard for new people, but if they have good reading comprehension it is easy.
Thunderbird has its own gpg-like based internal encryption. I really do not like it, I wish they built it on gnupg like the old plugin did.
All you need to do is get your key to the people you want to send encrypted email to and you need to get theirs. There are key servers or you can mail the public key to them.
To me, if on Cell Phones, all bets are off. I would never use email on Cell Phones.
