I keep getting the "connection failed" message.
Is anyone else having a hard time getting in? Im new to the service, is this common? Is there a better choice?
-
Nope, it's not working

I just signed up last week. I went there a few minutes ago to check for a confirmation mail on a free wallet I set up and I can't get in either. Glad I'm not the only one. Thanks for posting.

Tormail is a pain to use. Their uptime is poor.
Consider applying for a Riseup account. It integrates into Thunderbird better than Tormail.

Riseup? Thunderbird?
Im still new to this .onion business. Learning tons by the day, but Im still fighting with some terminology, and what seems to be common knowledge for most people.
I think there should be a link that has a good description of the most basic and common services out there.

Right, sorry.
Check out this site for more tools: https://prism-break.org/
Riseup is an email provider that is very good for security, but you need to have an invite or apply for an account. Thunderbird is an email client that allows for using email off of a website, and it allows you to add a plugin called enigmail that makes PGP encryption simple.
Basically, check out the link above and search for the tools I mentioned.
