Gotten several suggestions - thanks for all. Point: Being ABLE to sign
up w/ an email provider via Tor * & * that provider being trustworthy
(not selling your address, scanning contents to sell for advertising [if
don't encrypt messages] are 2 entirely different things. Like doctor,
mechanic recommendations, I always prefer them from actual clients /
users (preferably > 1) that have used them > 1x & been satisfied.
Jed: ** "What am I looking for?" ** Mostly anonymity & untraceability
- for all * practical * purposes. Not to evade LEAs. But... if need to
send whistle blower type email - or - some (polite) ones to neighbor w/
car up on blocks, I want NO way they can trace it, short of LEA becoming
involved. Though sending truthful whistle blower messages isn't
unlawful, people w/ power have powerful connections. Both examples are
real scenarios for me.
If those requirements help anyone w/ suggestions of providers they've
personally used - or read enough unbiased, technical reviews to be
reasonably sure a provider has a very good reputation, that's better
than, "I've heard of these - give them a look."
GMX may not be even close to a good choice for these purposes. However,
was NEVER able to get past them claiming JS was off, using Tor, Tor & a
proxy, just a proxy - even though proxies had option to allow JS - &
even if whitelisted their site in NoScript. However, some of other
suggested providers may be better choices, assuming they're not spammers
in sheep's clothing.
Thanks Praedor, adrelnos, antispam06 - for other email provider names.
Will check out. Heard of safe-mail a long time - don't know anyone
personally that's used it.
Tor mail - I remember some discussion here about ? some issue about
their policy? question of servers location? who runs it? Can't remember.
