So any email address is not encrypted even if the message goes to another encrypted account? Is this correct?
Yes, the "to address" cannot be encrypted as it is necessary to deliver the mail, the "from address" are needed to send a notification when the "to address" doesn't exist.
Technically, the "from address" probably can be encrypted, like in signal; but I think it is required in the current email standard.
Thank you. This helped.
