Email in transit is not encrypted

That there is what I call horse shite. SMTPS and STARTTLS are a thing and if you are using a provider who doesn't use it you need to change.

That still requires the email to be in clear text before it gets re-encrypted by Proton mail. SMTPS gets terminated at your email provider's boundary.

Pgp does not encrypt the whole email, only part of it.
