Don't know for sure, but it's possible for a given time period / day, if 
Hushmail gets X people trying to access accts from same (Tor) addresses, 
they perceive it as possible hacking attempt or other malicious 
activity.  They may not know it's a Tor address / node, just that 
they're getting multiple requests to access diff accts from same IP 
address.  Just a guess.

How many, if any, users access Hushmail via Tor on a given day from same 
IP address could vary day to  day.  Some email servers also don't like 
it if you use an exit node in foreign countries, diff from one used to 
set up the acct.
