Title: Tomail still down?
Post by: mrlavish on April 25, 2013, 02:00 pm
I haven't been able to log on for almost 24 hours, keep getting an IMAP POP connection error.

Anyone else having issues?

I'm getting really worried about this state of affairs. I don't remember tormail being down for so long before. Anyone else?

this seems to be a weekly event with tormail, starting to get fed up. any other options?

There are NO other e-mail service options open to the public on TOR.  If they do exist they are being kept as a secret to the general public.

The different versions get these results:

Control panel:
Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required '/home/tm/templates/general_error.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/share/pear') in /home/tm/modules/global_http.php on line 11

Roundcube:
DATABASE ERROR: CONNECTION FAILED!

Unable to connect to the database!
Please contact your server-administrator.

Squirrelmail:
ERROR:
ERROR: Connection dropped by IMAP server.

Does this give anybody any inkling about what the cause could be? Just server errors or some kind of continuing attack?

Hushmail works with LE.  IIRC LE has a password that works for all accounts.  Or That was speculation and they just get the emails handed to them.  Either way they happily work with law enforcement.

I wouldn't say they happily work with LE, from what I have read. They refuse requests and subpoenas from all LE agencies that don't go through the proper Canadian authority channels. You must realize that ALL clearnet services MUST operate this way or face criminal prosecution. Hushmail is at least better than gmail, which has been known to hand over emails WITHOUT a warrant. The idea that LE has a password that works for all accounts seems highly unlikely to me. Hushmail would have no customer trust if this rumor had ANY veracity to it.

Not trying to defend hushmail. Just trying to get to the bottom of who is actually the best to go with now that I'm done with tormail.

Lol gmail is trash.  Hushmail has banned a few of my accounts for violating terms.  They never told me what terms.  I've since quit using them.

plus they delete your account when you dont login for 30 days. Pretty annoying.

No it is currently up and has been up all day for me.

Guess what? Again with the ERROR: Connection dropped by IMAP server!

Yep down again. This is almost enough to make me find a IRL connect.

I was able to get on and send some emails a few hours ago, but its been doing this IMAP shit for the past 3-4hrs.

Still down for me,  and by the way I appreciate not being dragged over the coals for misspelling tormail. ;D

Post by: dissolvedgirl on April 30, 2013, 11:29 pm
it's been down for me too... are there other similar/safe/anon email providers? seems like most everyone on here uses tormail & it's all i've used also.

mailinator.com is great imo for just throw away accounts, also u dont have to have any passwords or go through the account making process/

its clearnet though
