Re: [Evolution] Offline message cache encryption with a Master Password?

[Caleb Marcus <caleb marcus gmail com>]

It doesn't do it with POP messages either... most clients don't. If you don't have a secure account password to your computer, or you're worried about someone using a LiveCD to directly access the drive, you should just stick with the gmail website. You could also use full-disk encryption, which is available on several Linux distros, but this will require reinstalling the system.
