The idea upthread (Jan-Frode) to keep a public key server-side and encrypt messages on arrival seems to me the way to go.
I would support that idea. Private key should be encrypted with users passphrase. If user changes password privet key needs to be decrypted with old password and reencrypted with new password.
Public key never changes, so maildir is never required to be touched, if user changes password and server does not need to know users secret to receive mail.
I would wish that Timo would consider to implement required functions to plugin API, so such a plugin would be possible without massive patching Dovecot source code.
