And if the underlying storage is encrypted they're still not in full
control, since the messages can be easily intercepted before they are saved
to disk.

Something like this is properly handled in the mail client, which would
encrypt the messages before sending them to the server. OpenPGP is a
perfectly working standard, for this.
