HTTPS sounds secure, but I don’t think it’s specifically for email encryption. I’d lean towards PGP too.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I feel like IPSEC is more for securing networks rather than individual emails.

I’m not entirely sure, but I remember something about MIME being related to email formats, not encryption.

I think PGP is the way to go since it’s designed for email encryption and doesn’t require server management.
