Most of the internet, nowadays, is encrypted on transmission.
Some things are end-to-end encrypted, some things are only encrypted for transmission, and rarely (nowadays) things are not encrypted at all.
Emails are encrypted for transmission.
That means, your email is readable on your computer, on your email server, on their email server and on their computer. Your email is not readable by your router, their router, your ISP, their ISP, or anyone operating a machine over which the transmission happens.
There are end-to-end encryption for email but you would know if you would use it.
no. they may be and probably most of them are, but they are not by design. mx to mx can still go in plaintext.
Are you aware of any mail server or client that is not using encrypted channels?
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.
