Not really, it depends on each service provider.

You can imagine each user as a folder in the /var/mail directory, it depends on your implementation to encrypt the folder or not. Gmail encrypts all in-transit e-mails but I cannot find a reference for encrypting on their servers

Their point is that ProtonMail specifically does encrypt emails on the server. That's their headlining feature. Only clients are supposed to be able to decrypt them.

Oh, my bad.

I thought when they were referring to the server, it was email servers in general.
