I was reading up a bit more on their system, and they claim to  
strip the IP address from the emails.  So, even if you couldn't  
use Tor, you could still trust Tutanota wrt the IP stripping?

I would have liked something like for my Blackberry, but the app  
fails to install.  I had Protonmail work fine though, but one of  
the last GooglePlay upgrates installed a new version and that  
broke Protonmail.

Even at $60/yr, I think it's too much - for me.   Ah.. but you  
dabble in the dark areas of the web, so maybe some extra  
assurances are good.

Do you use the disposable emails a lot?  I would rather stay  
away from dubious websites in the first place.

Protonmail works the same way. The only drawback I find is that  
it requires a live connection to edit a reply.  I think an  
offline option is much better.  I like my Thunderbird + pgp/gpg  
solution, but the only drawback is that I can only use that  
primarily from one pc.

On second thought, sure.. likewise, I'll send you a protonmail  
message so that you have my email on file, if you like.  The  
only challenge might be creating the password so that you can  
"figure it out".  I'll see what I can do.
