>> The only recommended way to use email with Tor is to use web mail,
>> e.g. https connections to gmail.

Keep in mind that google does not allow new accounts to be
created via Tor. Unless you are willing to give up your phone
number. Also they expose the GX session key and other cookies during
the signup to login phase, even if you carefully forced ssl urls, so your
minty new vanity named account is subject to immediate exit hijacking.
They also bastardize IMAP and mail purging, store and read your mail
for life, corroborate with the NSA and generally suck ass otherwise.
If any of these bother you, and for most purposes, you're better off
finding another mail provider :)
