Why? Asking your friend to please use Gmail and to check the Always Use SSL box is an easier ask than just about any other secure email solution.

It doesn't help if your threat actor is Google (less likely) or someone who has compromised Google (has happened). In that case you have to try something else, like PGP or maybe a private web message board that uses HTTPS correctly. The latter requires only one tech expert.
