Encrypt E-Mails that were imported

Anonymous shared this question 22 days ago
Need Answer

I have migrated to mailbox.org and using thunderbird I can export/import all my EMails.

However, I want to use the encrypted mailbox(using my own PGP-Key). Incoming mails are properly encrypted serverside and properly decrypted on thunderbird, but I can't seem to encrypt my imported mails. I've read that I should just move the mails to the sent directory, that doesn't seem to trigger the encryption.


Is there a mailbox.org way to encrypt old unencrypted mails?

If not that would be a big problem, do you know a way to do that reliably for my old mails?

Hi,

thank you for your inquiry. The encrpytion is triggered by our sieve-filters that means the e-mails have to pass through our sieve filters. You can set up both your accounts in an external client and drag and drop the e-mails into the INBOX-folder. This way the e-mails pass through our sieve-filters and are encrypted.

With kind regards

Your mailbox.org team
