What's /g/'s opinion on encrypted email services?
Are they just a meme?
Is there any point in having one if you're a normie?
What services do you use?

They're a meme.
If you want secure mail you have to encrypt it yourself.

Considering how most people you're communicating with will be using Google botnet, the privacy benefit is often defeated.
I use my own mail server mostly because I enjoy having unlimited addresses and the VPS + domain work out to 2 euros a month which is a great deal cheaper than, say protonmail especially considering the unlimited addresses and the fact that I also get a VPN out of it and the opportunity to host a website if I ever decide I want to.
