This is security theater IMO, all it does is give a false sense of privacy (and security/peace of mind) to Zoho email users and their recipients. For this reason alone, I wouldn't use or trust Zoho mail, not to mention many other reasons, including the jurisdiction of Zoho's global HQ itself, in a country with increasingly invasive laws that make even the US look relatively like a safe haven for data privacy.
We are entering a new era where large companies have realized a small but growing trend and will capitalize on some customer's desires to reclaim some of their privacy. Large providers will make great efforts to give the *appearance* of more privacy while doing little to nothing of value to improve it.
