Instead of storing messages unencrypted, would it be better to store them
encrypted, but have KMail decrypt automatically "on the fly" when the message
is clicked? What bothers me is the fact that I have to type my passphrase for
each and every message that I click on, so I end up typing it a hundred times
when I go through my email. The problem is not the fact that it's stored
encrypted in the messages store. The problem is the user interaction. Also from
a security perspective it may be better to store them encrypted, because the
maildir folders could get hacked/stolen/etc. The *storing* in maildir folders
should always be encrypted, but the user should never have to type in the
passphrase repeatedly, for each and every message. gmail and yahoo mail decrypt
automatically, without requiring the user to type the passphrase.
