Well, why not massively fund Thunderbird with a focus on usability and end-to-end encryption then? :-( Or maybe invest in Signal to they can finally start to fix and improve at a remotely competitive pace?

I agree...and with services like Keybase.io it's getting easier to use.

[EDIT: Thanks, I have one now :)]. Does anyone has an invite for Keybase by the way ? I've signed-up a while ago but the queue is probably to long. It seems a really promising service.

On my case, I've just migrated my domains to use letsencrypt, even if it's just in beta, it's so so much easier compared to 100% manual previous solutions ! Even if it's not domains with a huge trafic, I feel I'm doing my part to help !

Thunderbird works pretty well with S/MIME to encrypt/decrypt emails. It does not work as well as Mail.app on iOS/OSX, but it works.
