The receiving mail server could encrypt everything for the mailbox owner's S/MIME keypair, that would be really rather seamless with already existing protocols and clients. This "only" leaves the problem of key management to the user, which in my opinion is far out of scope for JMAP as well.
Search will also become difficult but it can be done. At least most mail clients could display all your mail if you have the key.
- slaymaker1907 3y agoThe thing I wanted to cover with my idea is how to avoid rebuilding the index on each client as well as not having to store the entire index on the client. In my opinion, large indexes are probably a requirement for broad adoption by users since accurate search is very important for email (besides user desires, this could even be a legal requirement for discovery requests during a lawsuit).
