If we have private data, encrypted using best practices (salted, 2048bit keys, private keys stored off line, etc), is it considered safe to post this encrypted data in a publicly accessible location?

Imagine if everyone encrypted and published a tarball of their email history. Would this data be considered "vulnerable" to attacks ?
