How do you encrypt email on an iPhone?

Are all the email accounts accessed (mail sent and received) through the apple mail app on an iPhone secure? In settings for mail it is grayed out for S/Mime, with no available Option to encrypt emails.

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 16

Thank you for the screenshot.


Encrypting eMail on an iPhone:

It wouldn't be encrypted, but, if using WPA3 for your router's protocol, then it should be secure, if that is the protocol being used.
