In order to maintain confidentiality of those encrypted emails, one would have to encrypt the mairix.db then. Or have the mairix.db on an encrypted files system. But then you could use the encrypted file system for your emails too (saving them unencrypted on the encrypted filesystem) and avoid the hassle of extra handling of encrypted emails.
