Encrypted email between the server and client is only one third useful. Let's assume your ISP used a "secure SSL" server. Email you receive from others is still sent unencrypted over the Internet to your "secure SSL" server for reading. And your email is sent from your "secure SSL" server to a recipient's server (SSL or not) in unencrypted form. So let's not kid ourselves and call this "encrypted email."

People have come up with ways to connect the sender and recipient via SSL. Try something like http://www.certifiedmail.com.
