It'd be hard to avg user to create anonymous Gmail acct. Maybe use a throw away cell phone; use WiFi that's near pay phone? Google SAYS they won't do anything w/ the phone # or SMS device, except to verify the acct. But then, Google says a lot of things. It only deters "honest" people from setting up anonymous accts - criminal types will use throw away phones, etc.The only way I've been able to create a Gmail account recently was through an Android tablet. I installed Orbot and Orweb APKs so all traffic was through Tor at the time, then created the account through Settings > Acounts & Sync > Add Account. I was surprised it didn't want a phone number. I've created accounts with hushmail but they block some exit nodes. I saw http://safe-mail.net mentioned before and I can confirm that they don't reject Tor users. I use these guys the most. I've read some suspicions about them, though, because their NS is through barak.net.il but I don't know if that's a valid concern. Cheers, dn.
In my search for providers to create accts using Tor, Safe-mail was one. Yes - based in Israel. Don't know it's a big concern, except some servers might filter email from foreign countries - but many don't. They have long, 6 mo period before inactivating accts w/o login; Storage of 3 MB is very low. Send a msg, then del, I guess.
Privatdemail.net is in Egypt & don't allow sending email to Israel. SAY they don't log *any* files or IP addresses. Have decent 500 MB storage; 10 MB max message size; support POP / IMAP; 90 day deactivation if no login. No idea how many servers would filter mail from Egypt.
