I'm not sure the news is correct, best verify further. asked around
and the canary is not really often updated anyway, see:

while I agree everyone should use PGP (and those who already do should
have a look at opmsg!) I must say this information is not correct, as
on SMTP servers we have a layer of TLS encryption via the ESMTP
protocol which is basically implemented on all major servers and for
sure implemented by riseup, resist.ca, aut/inv etc. so email does not
travel in clear if one uses TLS to connect to the SMTP and then the
SMTP between themselves use ESMTP which is very very often the case.

nevertheless, use PGP! because emails stored in clear on an IMAP or
POP server are pretty vulnerable to tapping.

ciao
