What I have done since mentioning the problem is to InfoZip all my
folders, then unzip +inbox, +drafts, and +outgoing.

Whenever I need to access another folder, I unzip it, kill mh-e,
restart it (until I dig into it to find the lisp function that scans
the folder list), operate on the folder, and re-zip it.

I think that crypt++.el could handle the compress/uncompress part, and
mh-e.el needs to be slightly modified in the folder-list area, but
other than that, this seems to be a decent, if tortuous, workaround.
 
Any other thoughts?
Jack.
