1) See http://dovecot.org/patches/2.0/mail-filter.tar.gz - you should be able to use that to pass all emails to a filter that decrypts mails. I'm not happy that imap process there forks new processes, it should be more like quota-warning where dovecot master process forks them. So it'll probably change. 2) I remember Alex Baule has been talking about things more or less related to this.. Although I'm not longer entirely certain what it is that he's built. You could try asking him.
