  I know of lavabit but I want to know what this software does.

    It's a monolithic mail daemon that speaks SMTP, POP, IMAP and HTTP, and uses DIME to encrypt messages when they arrive unprotected. It has preliminary support for DMTP and DMAP. Basically it's a replacement for your MTA and access server, which you'd run if you wanted a mail server that protected messages using an individuals password.
