Yes. TOR and (yahoo|hotmail|gmail|$whatever) is an anonymous way to go 
about it. Just make sure you use a totally separate browser profile (eg: 
start firefox with -ProfileManager) as to not cross-contaminate cookies, 
etc. and do everything regarding that email account -- including signup 
-- using TOR, and never access it outside of TOR, nor access anything 
else with that browser profile.
