They use your public PGP key to encrypt mails sent to you, before storing them on their server.
This is an optional feature, and turning it on will make webmail and smartphone mail unusable.

- mike-cardwell 13y agoI wrote an article on how you can do this with your own mail system: https://grepular.com/Automatically_Encrypting_all_Incoming_Email https://grepular.com/Automatically_Encrypting_all_Incoming_E... PGP is not necessarily "unusable" on Mobile. I use K-9 Mail + APG (both free) on Android, and can read and write inline PGP signed/encrypted mail. It's a shame there's no PGP/MIME support though.
