How do I create a secure/anonymous Email account with Quicksilver?
I recommend opening a simple POP3 account with one of the many sites offering a free Email service. Provided you only ever access them via Quicksilver and Tor, you should be safe. One example of this is Hotpop. There are many others. Take a look here: http://www.emailaddresses.com/email_pop.htm All these are only soft anonymous, but they can all be hardened by using Quicksilver and ensuring it routes only through Tor. I recommend that you use Hotpop as your Email incoming POP3 account and send or post through Tor and the Mixmaster remailer network. Both Hotmail and Hushmail (and the latest version of Yahoo) insist on you having both Java and Javascript enabled before they allow you to open an account. This is unacceptable to me. I would never recommend using any Email service with such a requirement. Explanations follow in Part 2.
Previously I have recommended creating a Nym using one of the remailers. Because of the huge amounts of spam I was receiving, I have had to revise my recommendation about this. I now recommend opening a simple POP3 account with one of the many sites offering a free Email service. Provided you only ever access them via Quicksilver and Tor, you should be safe.
