Does this mean that Jumble takes care of key management? How is that safe?

- Yes exactly; Jumble will automatically create the required keys which allows for the seamless experience and means that users don't have to known anything about cryptography and key generation/management; we give the public key to anyone who requests it (using our software) and only give the private key to the person that's authorised to have it.

- We always encrypt the private keys we generate with the users' password so we don't have access to any private keys; this means that we couldn't access someones encrypted emails even if we did have access to their email account (which we don't).

Hope that answers the question ...

12 new accounts saying "great product" looks really spammy and does not necessarily inspire a lot of confidence in the product itself (that I have not tested).

Big difference between something that is spammy and a great new idea which actually has something to contribute trying to gain some traction. Try having a look.
