If my, or some one else's, life or liberty depended on it, no. Not email, not the internet.
From a simpleton POV... there is a wire from my computer to an ISP. Then from that ISP to another ISP. Then from that ISP to a recipient. At any point some one can intercept and decode. So, AFAIAC, that's an end to it. Even if the data can be secured from being read, there is proof that one computer talked to another computer about something. That's often enough "evidence". Its an opening.
Frankly I don't see how the internet can be secure. AFAIK, it never was.

Tor/i2p mostly solve that problem.

"internet" is not secure, but you can build secure communications over insecure transports as long as you are able to do initial key-exchange somehow securely (ie. face-to-face meeting). Something like OTR with Tor hidden services is very secure.
