Tormail has had problems lately, but I've liked their service in the past because you can connect to it through their onion (hidden Tor) address. But yeah, assume anything you send through their servers will be read by a third party -- no matter what service you use, you should always assume that; so in other words: _always_ encrypt your messages. Even if they aren't sensitive. You never what could come back and bite you, it's so worth the extra hassle of encrypting and decrypting.Hushmail is a honeypot. Use it if you want, but it's totally unsafe. I didn't even realize it was still up, frankly. As long as you only connect to something through Tor though, you could use yahoo for all it really matters (except they block Tor, but just as example) -- but whatever you use, be damn sure you never log in to it even once without using Tor.
