Description
Feature Request
I'd like the Nextcloud mail app to encrypt the stored imap/smtp password with the user's individual key when server-side per-user encryption is enabled. (disabled master key)
To my knowledge the user key never changes, even when the password changes, making this a viable solution.

Research direction
The issue does not name files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the existing IMAP/SMTP credential storage and the server-side per-user encryption integration, then determine how credentials are accessed when the master key is disabled. Done means stored IMAP/SMTP passwords use the individual user key under that configuration without breaking password changes or mail access.
