@Joe Thanks a lot for the info! <br>
<br>
I do use Enigmail quite often, but the problem is the usual, a
relatively small proportion of my contacts (read friends and family)
care about privacy and encryption... what can I say, it's a work in
progress!<br>
<br>
It's reassuring to know that the SSL is working through TOR. Then
the only thing I have to worry about is how sensitive the message is
for the rest of the Internet! <br>
<br>
@cmeclax-sazri I remembered that I forgot to paste the headers
after I sent the original e-mail, but I got a similar output. I
assumed that <br>
"(version=SSLv3 cipher=AES128-SHA)" meant that that was the
encryption used between my computer and the GMail server. <br>
<br>
Truth be told, GMail has become a lot more bitchy recently with
newly created accounts, especially through Tor, demanding everything
from Captchas to mobile phone confirmation... so the last few burner
accounts I've created through Tor were on Yahoo. All of the Gmail
addresses I use were created years back, and they still bug me
occasionally when I use the webmail (after accessing it through VPNs
and Tor). But I haven't had any problems at all accessing both GMail
and Yahoo through IMAP, regardless of the location, VPN or Tor... <br>
<br>
Might sound redundant, but all of my GMail accounts run on
imap.googlemail.com:993 and smtp.gmail.com:465; Yahoo runs perfectly
through imap.mail.yahoo.com:993 and smtp.mail.yahoo.com:465. I used
the configuration instructions for Thunderbird from <a
href="https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/TheOnionRouter/TorifyHOWTO/EMail#SendingmailusingSMTPthenormalwayoverSSH">here</a>.
