Since it is the IMAP server that deals with putting emails into the Sent folder in the mailbox, currently due to the fact lacre runs on postfix (smtp) emails aren't encrypted in Sent folder.
We should look into a way to route this via postfix or find more elegant solution. Generally speaking the email clients should encrypt emails themself, specially for people that do use Lacre because they will have the key present on their email client, but there are some edge cases we should not forget:

  • What if user just used webmail to quickly send email without access to the keys - Some mailclients (experienced it with Evolution for example) did not encrypt email when sending to Sent folder even though keys were present (need to double chaeck that though).
