Follow up to Ted's question.  I assume he meant "use <some> US exit relay."

What of those that create & then login to webmail accts using Tor?  Some 
providers / servers make it very hard to login, if using exit relays 
different from the country used when creating the acct.
Some providers might not allow access at all, if using exit relays in 
*specific* countries.

Sometimes providers will present captchas or ask you to answer your 
security question, if the exit relay is different than when creating the 
acct.  Sometimes, it just seems to fail.

I suppose one way around this is use encrypted mail & don't worry about 
anonymous login.
But one may want to send messages from "anonymous location / source," to 
persons that can't handle encrypted messages.
