There's not pretty much difference with something like Gmail. If you 
want to do something illegal - your /encrypted/ correspondence will 
suddenly be decrypted for those who are interested. If you want true 
security and privacy - just selfhost your own email inbox. It's worth no 
more than 1 euro and one or two hours, maybe more, if you not very 
tech-savyy.
