Unfortunately, you cannot encrypt email addresses in the same manner as you can encrypt passwords.
Passwords are encrypted using MD5 hashing which is one way encoding that cannot be changed back. (When you enter in your password to login it gets MD5 hashed and then checked with the hash on file).
Email addresses cannot be used that way, as it needs to be in a "real" format of emailaddress @ emailaddressprovider.com. The best that you could do would be some kind of obstufication...
Why are you concerned that your host might want to steal your member's email addresses?
