Encrypted IMAP contacts/calanders storage?

If SynchKolab plugin could by allow for optional encrypted storage of contacts and calander data, PGP for example, then an ISP that hosts IMAP services for email, would be a wonderful workgroup server! Right now, you since you can't participate in hiring practices at the IMAP capable ISP, you just are putting it up there in faith alone!

The only addtion to the Synch Kolab plug-in would be the storage in a group server kind of way of FireFox or Mozilla "SCUTTLE" group bookmarks as was described in a previous NewsForge article:
<a href="http://internet.newsforge.com/internet/06/03/29/1952239.shtml?tid=13" title="newsforge.com">http://internet.newsforge.com/internet/06/03/29/1<nobr>9<wbr></nobr> 52239.shtml?tid=13</a newsforge.com>

Now that would be cool, and of course have them storable up on the server protected from admin peekers with some encryption that only the "users" systems are set up to read.
