Has anyone tried or considered a scheme whereby the contents of stored maildirs are encrypted on the server with the keys controlled by the end user ?
No, I've not abused drugs /that/ much.
The main objection I hear from some clients, who prefer to use POP, is that they don't feel comfortable leaving sensitive business or personal info somewhere they really do not have any control over.
And if the underlying storage is encrypted they're still not in full control, since the messages can be easily intercepted before they are saved to disk.
I can appreciate that point
so if there was a way to guarantee the end user they had
control over the visibility of THEIR stored messages then
I think it could be a very useful feature.
Something like this is properly handled in the mail client, which would encrypt the messages before sending them to the server. OpenPGP is a perfectly working standard, for this.
