But there are workarounds like the one Infomaniak uses (I believe Proton does it too). When sending an encrypted email to a non encrypted user, a link is sent instead of the contents of the email instead. In any case, encryption at rest with user provided keys and things like that are always an option.

    If the encryption at rest is done by the server, that defeats the point.

    Also, how does the user receiving an encrypted email access it? Do they have to enter a password? How is the password transmitted to them?
