PGP support. Public keys can be stored server side and used for signature verification and to encrypt outgoing mail. To perform operations that require access to the private key such as decrypting incoming mail, and signing outgoing mail you'd have to install a browser plugin which interacts with the website. Not ideal, but the only "safe" method.

100% SSL encrypted browser sessions.

Plus, Exchange ActiveSync or another push protocol they can get running on every major mobile platform
