If it's proprietary it makes no difference at all. The app could be sending my password off to a remote server and I would have no way of knowing.

You can still see to which servers the software connects, ostensibly the only servers would be those for sending and receiving your emails. If you're feeling particularly paranoid you could enforce this behaviour using a firewall. For web based email anything could happen and you would have no way of knowing, even after the fact.
