    Hello everyone
    I have an ispconfig 3 that work fine, all in/out email are encrypted, all user jailkit and so on.
    I wonder if there's a secure way to encrypt the vmail folder. I mean: who run the ispcfongi can't have access to the mail of the user for privacy pourpose and only the user with its own password can access.
    I readed a lot of things about gpg but even following that every time got errors and broken things.
    Any suggestion?
    I need to setup this for critical security enviroment.

    I have no expirience with this but you are most likly looking for this: https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/mail_crypt_plugin/
    But you have to consider, if it is that critial to you, you should worry how mails are encrypted while transporting, above all other things, this is a quiet more challenging question tho.
