Most places use a security device that doesn't encrypt your password but simply makes a hash from it. It can't be "reversed" to derive your password and your password isn't actually stored anywhere. Beyond that, they have your email and could change the password on you and do whatever they wanted with your account if they so desired. Finally, I've never heard of anyone having a problem with this company so it seems a pretty safe bet that you're being excessively paranoid for no reason. If you use that password for other things that you're afraid they might access, you're the one that you should beware of, not some email hosting company.
