Anyone using Mailbox.org PGP inbox encryption?

You also have the option of not uploading your private key to the Mailbox servers. You can then continue to retrieve your encrypted emails with IMAP or POP3 and read them locally with the email client of your choice and/or the respective PGP program.

I do this and I use it with Aerc & Notmuch with Mbsync. It works awesome, downloads all my mail in maildir format, indexes encrypted mail which I can search the body of also (because Notmuch can do that), and also get ability to use tags, like Google mail. I use Syncthing to sync it to my server.

Curve25519 key locally and then upload only the public key to Guard for using it with Thunderbird. Is the whole point of Guard to simplify the process of creating and attaching a key and automatically decrypting it on the web UI if the inbox is encrypted?

Yes that does work. It supports curve25519, and you can use a separate keypair for Guard. Guard requires private key as well though, but you can use a different key for inbox encryption.
