How To Enhance The Privacy Of Your Email On Your Computer

How can I enhance the privacy of my email?

Your email is relatively private. I say relatively private because it does involve machines and servers that handle multiple pieces of mail and are administered by other people. To some extent, you are counting on the honesty and integrity of other people. That said, encryption is at work. Email is encrypted so when it is sent it is encoded so that it's broken into a language that can't be understood. When it reaches its destination, it's decoded, so that it's put together in a way that it can be read. So, you rely primarily on encryption in order to make sure that your email is private. Is it an absolute? It's not necessarily an absolute, but for the most part you can count on your email being private.
