It's secure as long as you don't do business in Saudi, UAE, India, Russia, Kuwait, China or any other country who will be demanding encryption keys in the next few weeks. It was rumoured that the US had them even before all these foreign countries started making waves.

Does BES support iMAP? Does the BIS always route all traffic through RIM servers, i.e gmail, twitter, facebook?

The new browser is a giant step forward though and by going with Webkit, they can leverage the open source community and Apple/Google to do all the heavy lifting.
