What is not "end-to-end" encryption is when the email is encrypted during transmission between servers, but is transferred from your email server to you in a form that the server (and its operators) can read.
And that's actually the usual case, as email headers must be readable by the servers because they have routing information, and some email servers will also scan your emails for spam, attacks, and viruses.
