In the end, for plaintext email, you always have to "trust" the
operator. There's valid reasons for going with Google for some
activities. For others, it might be better to take a look at
https://we.riseup.net/riseuphelp+en/radical-servers .
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/EmailProviderComparison is
not very helpful.
http://www.thesimplecomputer.info/articles/email-for-privacy.html is
another older list.
Things are looking bad. Lavabit is out. Fastmail is paid only. Nothing
wrong with paid, only it beats the anonymity. Vmail.me has closed the
gates. And it has big problems anyway: gmail bounces all my emails.
Openmailbox has closed its gates. The system works well. The
registration is off. Tormail is shutdown and unreachable.
Even large guys changed lately. Lycos imposes a SMS ID with only a
handful of countries in its list. Gmail imposes the SMS, even if their
list is far greater. Gmx and Mail refuse account creation. They say it's
tech problems, but it looks like Tor allergy. And Mail.com is a mask for
more services. Hushmail shows only paid plans. Cyber-rights mask gave me
access, but hushmail said it's suspended and gave me a chance to pay.
