Comment (by anonimal):

 Hi sukhbir, for whatever reason I didn't get an email notification so I'm
 just reading this now.

 I don't think you need I2P to test this. For example, try setting up two
 local socat instances on 127.0.0.1 (with the text output switch flipped)
 that forwards to your mail service, then create a Thunderbird account
 pointing to 127.0.0.1 and your respective ''local'' ports. Example:

 {{{
 socat -v TCP4-LISTEN:12345,fork TCP4:smtp.mail-host.tld:<their smtp port>
 socat -v TCP4-LISTEN:23456,fork TCP4:pop3.mail-host.tld:<their pop3 port>
 }}}

 would mean you point your Thunderbird account to 127.0.0.1, port 12345 for
 SMTP, port 23456 for POP3, and using whatever encryption methods required.
 This will probably give you certificate warning/errors (I don't know, I
 haven't tested this with clearnet mail) but you'll (should) at least see
 that there's no output with the SMTP socat instance.

 ''If'' instead you want to test with I2P, create an account at
 [hq.postman.i2p http://hq.postman.i2p/?page_id=16] then setup a
 Thunderbird account to point to 127.0.0.1 port 7659 for SMTP, port 7660
 for POP3, '''no''' SSL/TLS/STARTTLS needed, transmit plain password for
 authentication (the transmitted "insecurely" option). If using
 [https://github.com/monero-project/kovri Kovri], the current default ports
 will be 7661 for SMTP and 7662 for POP3.
