Yes. Not Tormail, not Gmail, not Katz, not GMX, not any mail.
Your job is to encrypt your mail body and to use encrypted
end protocols. And hopefully to choose providers that use TLS
to talk to the providers of your correspondants so that the
non-body parts are encrypted on the transit wire as well.

Of course you can always ask admin at tormail.org to tell
you who they are and what their policy and character and
threat model are. Lol.

I believe current thinking is that though some of their
servers reside in the US, the operators are not of original
US origin.
