    No one encrypts their emails at least in my experiance.

    For example: If you send an email from proton mail to gmail there is no encryption, if you get an email from outside proton mail , it’s unencrypted.

    The reason I don’t want an email with encryption is that ther are no use to me.

      I think you’re confusing “encrypted in transit” versus “end to end encryption”

      Your email between protonmail and gmail would be encrypted between the servers, but both protonmail and gmail could read your email. OpenPGP makes it so incoming emails are encrypted with your public key, so there’s an extra stage of encryption that only your email client can decipher. OpenPGP therefore has the capacity for end to end encryption

      No one encrypts their emails, yes. As a protonmail user I don’t do it either, because proton’s software does that automatically for me.

      With the email system, end to end encryption is only beneficial to you, it doesn’t have a disadvantage for you. It’s totally transparent, meaning that it works without affecting how you do things normally.
