Yes - if you send a
PGP encrypted email (from with-in or outside mailfence), your recipient will receive an
encrypted (unreadable) email and will require his/her
private (decryption) key to decrypt and read that email.
See
this 'how to' manual for more details.

There's
no inactivity period for
paid plans.
