Do you have an encrypted e-mail service (PGP on existing mail inc GMail, Thunderbird, ProtonMail, Tutanota, etc), or only standard unencrypted e-mail service (GMail or ISP type mail)?

A note for those wanting to add encryption to existing mail services:
1. Gmail - an extension like Flowcrypt works with own or generated PGP keys.
2. Thunderbird/Betterbird - built-in OpenPGP or S/MIME

I just now saw that the opening post contained a poll when you expand it... I mention this in case that others missed it, too.

I use the Thunderbird-internal pgp, but hardly any of my contacts have encrypted email (and I would not know because it is basically an external function not displayed - maybe I should add a note in a signature...), so I hardly use it...
