Title: Tormail is down. Where to have an email for darknet puroposes?
Post by: guerrillashaman on September 05, 2013, 12:40 pm
I got my current PGP key linked with tormail email. It would be better to set up a new one, right? Also, I want to setup relaying and I need contact email (see the thread 'it's time to do something, people', this better shouldn't be clearnet email either too, huh? What do you recommend after Tormail shutdown?

you don't need to have email to use PGP.  you can use a fake email to set up the key.  as for which email provider, damn, that is the million dollar question these days.  if you have an answer please let us know.

I use Safe-mail, Not sure how good it is (it does what i want so far) i seen a vendor with it so thought if it's good enough for them it's good enough for me.

Thank you guys for these responses. I suspected the thing with fake email used for setting the key after seeing some really weird addresses. Safe-mail sounds fine to me, pretty safe, thanks one more time :)

I was wondring this as well.  I have read that tormail is not even that secure though.

I recall something about tormail monitored by the feds, I have spotted it on the main SR in 'from the forums', yes...so good I haven't written anything in cleartext there.
