As long as everything sent through it is encrypted it can still be used, but it has to be everything.Who is Jacob Applebaum? I'd rather just not use it anymore tbh.Tor developer big-wig. Goes by the handle of ioerror.As for Tor Mail, an alternative and/or replacement would be good. Depending on how geeky to wanted to get, you could get a VPS anonymously with BTC and configure it with all the things you need for mail and run a hidden service yourself.As long as the volume(s) it was running off are completely encrypted it could be a decent-ish solution.EDIT: I've clearly been awake too long and forgotten the obvious. This will still need a clearnet domain name to receive mail from 99.9% of people. The subdomain/hostname of the VPS would work, but it would change the email address every time the hosting provider was changed.So you'd need an anonymously obtained VPS running a hidden service (so you can connect entirely within the Tor network) and an anonymously obtained domain name.This would be a lot easier if onion.to did port forwarding for SMTP in addition to just forwarding HTTP traffic. Still, that could be abused.
