What does secure mean?

  Not what I would have thought, but they say: What is special about riseup.net email Your riseup.net email account is a wonderful thing. Although we don’t provide as much storage quota as surveillance-funded corporate email providers, riseup.net email has many unusual features: We encrypt traffic whenever possible. When you send email from riseup.net to another secure email provider, the email is encrypted for its entire journey. (see StartTLS for more info) We don’t disclose your location to email recipients. When you send email with riseup.net, your internet address (IP address) is not embedded in the email. With corporate email providers, anyone who receives your email can figure out your approximate physical location from the internet address included in the email. We don’t log your internet address. Our commitment is to keep as little data on you as we can. Unlike corporate providers, we do not log internet addresses of anyone using riseup.net services, including email.

    It doesn't sound like they're doing anything that gmail + VPN doesn't do.
