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



If you're really paranoid you might also want to consider encrypting
$HOME/.gnome2_private/Evolution and $HOME/.camel_certs, which contain
stuff like your mail account passwords and certificates.

Thanks All for the replies.

I'm already using LUKS (dmcrypt) volumes that are unlocked by PAM when I
login, which comes handy; I'll just move ~/.evolution contents to a LUKS
volume, and replace the folder with a symlink.

Thanks!

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.

Recently I discovered gmail's new IMAP feature. The next minute I was
setting
evolution up to access my gmail account. I noticed evo's google/imap
account
cached thousand of messages (some headers, some full messages), and also
found that the cache is made persistent even with me *not* selecting
"mark
for offline reading". Meaning that if I close evo, then reopen, at first
I
get asked for the imap server password, but even if I dont enter it, I
can
see the full local cache of the imap folders and all recent message
contents.

I don't like this. 

Is there a way to force evo to encrypt the local cache (imap account and
also the exchage account if possible), so that I get asked for a password
to
open the local cache (or better, the default gnome keyring could be
used)?
any hint on how to do this?

TIA
