They use your public PGP key to encrypt mails sent to you, before storing them on their server.

This is an optional feature, and turning it on will make webmail and smartphone mail unusable.

Edit, source: (even if you read German it was tricky to find what exactly differentiates their encryption feature.) https://mailbox.org/im-stiftfilm-erklaert-das-vollstaendig-v...

I wrote an article on how you can do this with your own mail system:

PGP is not necessarily "unusable" on Mobile. I use K-9 Mail + APG (both free) on Android, and can read and write inline PGP signed/encrypted mail. It's a shame there's no PGP/MIME support though.

As much as I appreciate their kind offer to compromise my key and hand it to the German authorities for forwarding to the NSA, I must politely decline. ;)
