Errr,... no.

An encrypted message is transmitted and stored encrypted,
the recipient can't read it without decrypting it.

Neither can Goatmail, Snotmail, NSA, govt agencies, etc.

Govts & businesses have access to freemail data.
Encrypting only one end of the transaction offers little privacy.

SSL tranmission is of little benefit, for the same reason.
