Can’t address Verizon. But if you were to switch your email over to iCloud.com, those emails, and everything else in the cloud will be encrypted. And as you have an iTunes account already, all you have to do is activate your iCloud account.

I keep my Comcast account for junk stuff, but I’ve moved my personal stuff over to iCloud.

That doesn't apply to email in transit to non-iCloud accounts. It works with iMessenger accounts between Apple users. . . but if one user is a yahoo or a Windows account, or any other non-Apple account, it will be sent normally, because the recipient would not have the Apple code for decryption.

That only works if all your friends are on iCloud too. Anyone on Comcast, Google, Yahoo, Hotmail/Outlook (whatever Microsoft is calling that these days...) is unencrypted and so is any email you sent them.
