"If you think that you have found a security issue in vmail.me project, please don't use the bug tracker and don't publish it publicly.

Instead, all security issues must be sent to support [at] vmail.me."

It really needs to be said that email, even though it seems to have an inherent mechanism of persistence, is a really very high, thorny, technical load to assume. As someone who cut his teeth on email-server administration in the early days of Sendmail, I'm still kind of puzzled at the lack of coherent solution to this problem - it still seems as though the cognitive load behind setting up and maintaining a functional mail server on todays Internet hasn't changed much since the days of !uucp!myfoo!me .. but is this really the case?
A screenshot would be helpful. It sounds like an alternative to Roundcube webmail.

Their recent twits (https://twitter.com/vmailme):

"Our project will become open source, stay tuned" -- 30. Aug.

"The reason why we temporarily closed the registration is that we have real difficulty fighting spam and get a good sender reputation" -- 26. Aug.

Don't bother…sign up disabled.
This is a github link - you can self-host if you choose to - but agreed that submitting while the example site is down is an odd choice
