Don't trust Google, trust me instead!The obvious question that arises with companies like this is if I don't trust Google, why should I trust you? Using open source software isn't a signal that you are trustworthy. Especially considering none of your customers can verify the actual code you are using. What would prevent a similar company from starting with open source software and inserting all sorts of evil code before deploying it on their servers?

There are several security concerns here. First of all, I didn't see any mention of encryption. Is data encrypted at all, or are you able to read everything going on in the server? If encrypted, in what way? Why should I trust you with my data if it's not encrypted? How will I hold you accountable if I'm not paying you? Second, HTTPS is a nice start, but it's just public/private key encrypted connection. It's still s…

The software used in the mail stack is purely open source software. Looks like they are running a fairly standard Postfix stack and are using roundcube for webmail [1].
