It's a nice redesign, starting out. I especially like the cloud design up top. I'd just like to throw forward a few comments on it. Please take this as constructive, not as mean criticism.
* Design:
Unfortunately, it reeks of hip design gone too far - green text on a green background, grey text on a grey background, and amateurish construction. Removing the text-shadow alone from the alert boxes makes a big difference in readability.
* Structure:
The angularJS parts have already been addressed in another comment, but the most bizarre part is that there is minimal minification (.min.js versions of jquery & bootstrap, that's it - comments are still intact), no concatenation, and no gzip compression whatsoever.
I think it's easy to forget that jQuery alone is 90KB, bootstrap JS is 30KB, and bootstrap's CSS is ~125KB alone. The site is pretty simple; it could easily be trimmed down into something much faster. The use of jQuery is questionable, the use of bootstrap even more so considering how simple the layout is.
The pubsub module that pushes new inbox data is pretty great though.
* Content:
The content pages look great. The little transitions are nice. I like the new copy as well; it helps cement the point that this is not a serious security product and it should not be considered as such.
Overall, while it's a nice change, it may be a bit more flash than users are actually looking for. The massive assets package makes the actual email page huge - jQuery, Bootstrap, and Angular, just for such a simple page? Combined with web fonts, the total payload is well north of a half meg. Intro transition animations serve to make the perceived time to displayed content even longer.
A second pass with a proficient JS developer and a keen eye for readability would do a lot for this site.
