Sounds good!

Even if hackers intercepts data coming from browsers thru Imap / Smtp bridge as mentioned above, they'll gonna have a pain in a neck decrypting the encryption before they can get thru the actual email sent from one to another.

This is somewhat similar to Viber and Whatsapp chat app in Android platform but on a browser level.

THE QUESTION IS...

WHAT is the TYPE and LEVEL OF ENCRYPTION they implemented???

Is it an EV SSL type encryption like those used in banks???
