I actually use an ecrypted file system already for other stuff, but what
it doesn't do is protect data from casual snooping while the file system
is mounted. For that, you need file level encryption. If you backup the
encrypted version of a file system, of course the BACKUPS are safe from
snooping.

I don't think anything is 100% secure: unless you are using TLS, it's
going to be unencrypted on the wire comming in. Since so few sites use
TLS, TLS encryption will be minimal.

If you decide to do file level encryption, what is it that needs to be
hidden? Just the message body or all the headers too?
