DDNS is a different question altogether; it's what allows external server to connect to you; it doesn't bear on your connection to them unless they're performing reverse name resolution. If your email is readable at all, it's already been read by the time your ISP gets it. What happens between you and your ISP is about as private as you can get, compared to what the rest of the Internet. If your mail is that important, encrypt the mail, not the traffic channel.

In the meantime, another computer might get my former IP adress and the remote mail server would try to deliver the queue to that computer. It's only a little chance that this happens, but it bears some risk. I wouldn't want my mails to be read by some unknown person.
