Try ProtonMail instead. At least it offers end-to-end encryption.

What exactly does this mean? Is this just gpg encryption?

I don't know the full details but I believe that the data are sent encrypted to your browser and you decrypt them locally with a separate key.

This is how ssl works, no?

The point is, that they are supposed to be encrypted on the server. So, the only place where they get decrypted is inside of your browser.

For anyone evaluating services, before you invest too much time, know that Protonmail offers webmail only, if that's an important detail for you.

That is incorrect. ProtonMail has iOS, Android and Webmail.

It allows integration with IMAP-enabled third-party email clients (like Apple Mail, Thunderbird, Outlook) through an application now in closed beta only for paying ProtonMail users. You can learn more about it here: https://protonmail.com/bridge/
