encrypts your emails automatically (outgoing)

How does that work for recipients I haven't shared secrets with?

BTW any decent email client has an option or plugin to do that.

The outgoing email leaving the server isn't encrypted.

The copy that's stored on your account is encrypted on device with your PGP key.
