If you want encrypted mail, go the GnuPG route, everything else is only cosplaying security.

This holds true for any kind of secure communication you want to do.

Manually handling keys and encryption with GPG is the core of good opsec, and also a reason why 99% of "crime prevention" backdoors are probably not going to do much. But people are lazy, been a while since I saw a drug dealer hand out public GPG keys, ever since Telegram and the like got popular.

I mean, they're still out there if you know where to look.

You're right though people are often too lazy for gpg.
