I am keen on it, as my private email that I only give out to friends and family. Just wondering if anyone else has used it?
:D

It's very good, very secure. :p

I created a new account. The service is still going strong, but they charge for IMAP connectivity. :(

I have used it, but found I wasn't able to access their site with Firefox. Even with IE and a 300k line, my inbox took about 1 minute to load.

So, secure, yes, but speedy, no.
