they simply don’t have to care. in a similar way where jobs was wearing jeans and black shirt while everyone around him was saluting in suits. he didn’t have to.

also these messages were supposed to be private, lot of our signal/whatsapp chats also look less professional than work emails.

Were these emails encrypted? I thought that regular email is basically public, like sending a postcard. Or is that not the case anymore?

iirc it’s tls secured between client and server and again between servers. So no e2ee, but if you trust your provider, everything should be good.

iirc law enforcment regularly forces providers to reveal content of client’s mailboxes.
