IMAP, especially on a database, changes the picture because while
the sys admin is doing routine maintenance it is so easy and
untraceable to search for keywords (such as his name or the word
salary) that even a "trusted" system administrator will do this.
When the CFO gets salary information emailed to her, (internally,
never hits the Internet) she would like that to be not easily
accessible to the system administrator.
Can he log on to her machine and read her email? Yes
Will he? Probably not.
Will he search through the database out of curiosity? Probably.
Again, gnuPG or PGP should be all you need. The content will be stored
encrypted, where only the receiver is able to decrypt.
And provides the same security as your password encrypted documents.
They can be cracked if one logs onto the CEO computer.
