The real question should include reference to the "who" they might
disclose details. I don't think any respectable ISP would reveal
anything useful to a birth mother, so the hoopla about "anonymous
webmail" serves little purpose other than to get law enforcement excited
about who else might using such a wonderful tool.

It's a web server, so whatever any web server might be expected to log.

Note that under RIPA, a UK-based service of this kind could not reveal
(as comms data) which account had been accessed, merely the name of the
apparatus accessed.
