 > C) Does this mean that mail.ru is committing to supporting connections
 via Tor? So when people ask for good free webmail services that work with
 Tor, we should point them to mail.ru? :)

 No. AFAIK, few years ago mail.ru started to require mobile phone to
 register. Registration at mail.ru can be also used to authorize in some
 social networks sites such as VK.com, where direct registration is
 impossible if you don't give your phone.

 There is another major mail provider in Russia which is yandex.ru. Last
 time I checked it, yandex allowed to register using tor, but then block
 outgoing letters marking them as potential spam. So, finally yandex was
 also useless as normal mail server. I think it can also ask you about your
 mobile is some activity is treated as suspicious. I'ld not recommend to
 use it with tor.

 There are many small mail providers, who are still nice with tor users.
 However, they may not support everything you want (e.g., pop3s or IMAP +
 SSL). You can see e.g. UA service https://webmail.meta.ua.
