And if you use a free webmail, there is no point in encrypting your messages (and I don't know if it is even possible).

Of course it's possible: Compose the email in a different program, encrypt it in GPG with the recipient's public key, and paste the ciphertext in the webmail's message field.

It's just inconvenient.
