Hello Andras,
Although not immediately addressing your problem, I would still
recommend to try last available test build 6292, I’ve been using it
since release and is very stable imho.
r6292 can be found on https://updates.mailmate-app.com/archives/
Succes!

Hello everyone,
I am using MailMate 6272 with a mailbox.org account, and I am running
into a fundamental problem when trying to export my emails in
decrypted form. I am hoping someone on the list might have insight or
experience with this setup.
My mailbox.org account uses Mailbox Guard, which applies server-side
encryption to all incoming emails. While I can read my emails normally
(via webmail and in clients), any attempt to export them (MBOX/EML)
results in files that remain fully encrypted.
What I have tried so far:
Exporting emails from IMAP clients (Thunderbird, MailMate) → exports
remain encrypted
Offline/local IMAP storage → still encrypted
Client-side OpenPGP / GPG-based decryption workflows → not possible,
as the client never receives decryptable PGP blocks
Looking for a Guard-side “decrypt/export” option → none
available
From what I can tell, Mailbox Guard decrypts messages only at display
time, and the decrypted content is never exposed to IMAP/POP3 or
export tools. This makes it impossible to obtain plaintext emails
client-side while Guard is enabled.
My question to the list:
👉 Is there any known workaround in MailMate (or elsewhere) to
export emails decrypted when using mailbox.org Guard, or is disabling
Guard and performing server-side decryption the only possible
solution?
Any guidance or confirmation would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Andras
