[wellylug] GPG Webmail

For one of my projects I am looking to set up a secure webmail system
(Debian testing/unstable if it matters).

My understanding so far is that I can generate GPG keys for new users
and use the public keyring to encrypt mails.  My question is around
decrypting; if it's webmail you typically don't want the private key on
client computer, that implies server-side storage of some kind, with the
web server somehow obtaining the private key and using it to decrypt.

I'm sure this problem has been solved before; any suggestions on where I
should be looking?
