Yes, that is an awesome method for very cheaply keeping your emails safe from prying eyes. (though unless one has an external server polling the mail and saving it again, it is not applicable to gmail, especially as one does not know how much data gmail and other such services retain as they don't guarantee deletion). The big advantage is also that there is no keying material that can cause the mails to be read, unlike most 'crypto filesystems' which tend to keep the crypto keys in memory for both reading and writing to the filesystem, thus if somebody is able to hack a process that can write (your incoming mailer) they can generally also read those files. The only missing component in the above puzzle is then to mirror new mails asap to a set of other hosts to act as a backup, just forwarding them to the other boxes with a rewrite can solve that though.
