I'm downloading my mail from POP3 servers, so I'm searching locally. I'm copying access password to my tablet and phone (K9 client) and I don't keep more than a few dozen of messages there because the POP3 mailboxes are cleaned up when I download from the laptop. I backup my mail to a remote server, encrypted with duplicity.
I understand that this is not acceptable for 99.99+% of people, even the technical ones, but I think I could use a fully encrypted mail store. No problem with the mail provider ending up as a blob store: privacy-wise it's what they should be anyway. No harm to their business, if all the money they make are from users and they're not selling data.
The only problem is centralized spam checking. Running an antispam engine locally wasn't very effective years ago and Thunderbird was sub par. Is there anything that's on par with email providers right now?
