Access Encrypted Mail Account

Is there a way to add documents from an encrypted mail account? If not, what would be necessary to add this feature?

You're describing it a bit vague. With encrypted, you mean PGP encrypted mail?

I think this would be out of scope for this project. There are just too many specific things to tackle with PGP-encrypted mail, and probably most users won't use this.

I would try to setup an own, local mail server which fetches encrypted mails, decrypts them and lets paperless-ng import the decrypted ones.

Or simply write a decryption script which outputs relevant mails or just the attachments to the consume folder.

Maybe you could do some automation with mutt, as you can save decrypted mails to local storage.

Good luck.
