The DJIGZO gateway only supports the SMTP part. It does provide any POP3 or IMAP functionality. Based on your description it seems you are using Roundcube as an email client for your email stored on Gmail. So in this case the DJIGZO gateway will only support outgoing email: Roundcube -> DJIGZO -> Gmail -> Internet recipient(s) Since the DJIGZO gateway does *not* provide POP3 or IMAP, decryption of incoming email cannot be directly handled by the DJIGZO gateway unless the email is sent by SMTP to the DJIGZO gateway. Support for decryption "on the fly" requires a POP3 or IMAP proxy that can decrypt email when it's downloaded. I can think of three options. 1. Use Fetchmail to download email from Gmail to a local email box. New email will be downloaded from Gmail and then sent through the gateway for decryption and after decryption the email is sent to the internal email from which you can POP3 or IMAP. This is supported out of the box with the DJIGZO virtual appliance (you should enable Fetchmail support on the console). Downside of this approach is that the email on Gmail is more or less duplicated on your own local box 2. Do the decryption on Roundcube. Seems however that Roundcube does not yet support S/MIME in the client (it's a planned feature). Some other webmail clients (like for example Horde) support S/MIME in the client. 3. Use PDF encryption instead of S/MIME. With PDF encryption you can locally decrypt the file. Downside is that if all your email is PDF encrypted, opening an email is kind of a burden since you need to provide a password all the time.
