To be explicit. If its not e2e, it's sent and recieved and logged in plaintext. Tuta can opt to encrypt it, then store it, after the fact. But you cant verify that they do. Even though they claim to. Only messages (which is not mail) between tuta customers are e2e as i understand it.
Use signal. (Or for mail: i am going to shill purelymail which is awesome)
Stored emails are encrypted in any service, the difference from Tuta, Proton, Atomic, etc, to Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo and others, is that they don't have the decryption key. But yeah, technically any of them could make a copy of unencrypted emails you receive and send (the later don't even need to since they have the key), but they can't do it retroactively. Proton had a few third party audits checking their services, but afaik Tuta hasn't.
