Assuming the correspondents exchange keys out of band, this looks like
true end-to-end encryption, the keys residing on the users' respective
machines.  If so, server compromise can cause loss of service but no
confidentiality or authentication breach.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.  Otherwise, this looks like an
important new option for those who love their webmail, especially
after the Firefox version becomes available.
