- I remember Alex Baule has been talking about things more or less related to this.. Although I'm not longer entirely certain what it is that he's built. You could try asking him.
Imho, once messages are decrypted/decryptable server-side (be it password, key whatever) we've lost. Messages have to be decrypted client-side.
The idea upthread (Jan-Frode) to keep a public key server-side and encrypt messages on arrival seems to me the way to go.
A nice challenge would be to devise something to do full-text indexing on the server-side encrypted data (it won't be as efficient as indexing of plain text, but... is that at all possible?)
