Server side encryption is not as good as client side encryption is it?

This may be true, but security only works if you use it. For the average user it may be better to make the trade off between complexity and usability in order to encourage use and drive familiarity with encryption tools. Using SSL/TLS from client to server is good enough and then OX Guard from server to server is very secure. The advantage is full flexibility for the user across devices and a much better user experience.
