With Tormail gone there are still a few alternatives if you want to use an email service that will not reveal your location:
JonDo – similar to Tor but with both free and paid versions. Paid version is faster and also offers anonymous email. Bitcoin accepted for payment.
i2p – The second largest anonymizing network after Tor. Free to use and provides free anonymous email in two flavors: Susimail and i2p-Bote. Faster than JonDo but slower than a VPN.
Freenet – anonymous network with decentralized data storage and anonymous Freemail email plugin. While Freenet provides an http interface for browsing freesites, unlike JonDo and i2p a proxy to browse the web is not available.
i2p-Bote and Freemail can only be used to email other users in the same network. Susimail and Jondo mail can connect to mail clients in the clear.
Riseup.net email is also an option. Servers in the US but riseup does not log your IP or include your IP in the header of your sent mail so it can be considered anonymous. Service is free but you need to apply and wait for approval unless you have invitations.
Privat DE Mail – Free anonymous email service based in Europe with email servers in Egypt. No logs, no ips in email headers. Email from or to Israel is not possible, so you can’t send mail to/from Safe-Mail. You must use an email client as there is no web interface for email.
Bitmessage – This new open-source encryption standard is like TorChat on steroids, and can replace secure email for many users! Easy to use and portable, see the guide on how to setup and use Bitmessage for a tutorial with screenshots.
Some is repetitive to what you said, but still a good read.
For Business/Dealing:
============Besides making your own/buying your own Domain + email (can easily do this with Namecoin, or KatzGlobal, or any Iceland VPS provider like 1984hosting)
https://bitmessage.ch/ – has a .onion server, this forwards emails into bitmessage p2p network. Obviously use PGP. Give customers the email address it generates, and then they can mail you and it will be on the network for retrieval with regular bitmessage client (torify!) or retrieve it from them over .onion access.
I2p-Bote mail – is similar to bitmessage in that it’s p2p/decentralized and doesn’t expose headers like who the message has been sent to. Pretty sure Tails includes this in it’s I2p panel (if they still have i2p)
https://privatdemail.net – possibly can be used for business. Servers are in Egypt due to no laws on data retention. Claims to be approved by the German Privacy Foundation and Tor-talk guys use it. Can’t send any emails to/from Israel so that means you can’t mail anybody with a safe-mail account. Of course use PGP at all times. Unknown if somebody can snitch you out and they will yoink the account if suspected of dealing, unknown if it works (to sign up) over Tor.
http://security.resist.ca/create-nym.shtml Classic Nym address. It would be preferred to use a newsgroup in your reply block, like alt.anonymous.messages then retrieve your messages by downloading all of them on either a bitcoin VPS, or through a premium newsgroup service that offers https encrypted retrieval. This is as anonymous as you could get before bitmessages and i2p-bote mail. Always use PGP of course.
https://www.cotse.net/cgi-bin/mixmail.cgi for sending emails through a mixmaster. They also offer an email service, prob not suitable for business but they strip outgoing IP.
Jabber – only use Jabber with a .onion address. You can make your own:
https://www.torservers.net/wiki/setup/jabberEXPERIMENTAL – http://tox.im
A skype/social media encrypted and decentralized replacement put together by hackers on 4chan’s /g/TorChat – https://github.com/prof7bit/TorChat/wiki
http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/483 – any bsd/linux system can use mixmaster to send anon emails (torify it) and JonDoNym live CD includes this https://anonymous-proxy-servers.net/en/jondo-live-cd.html
As an added bonus, you can use Jondo mixmaster network to obfuscate your Tor traffic, so your ISP sees nothing, and any possibility of tracing you should Tor end up breached is extremely difficult.
NOT FOR BUSINESS
============These providers will all cancel your account, all it takes is one snitch to rat you out that you are suspected of dealing and your account is nulled. They also assist federal investigations:
Countermail/Hushmail/Gmail/Hotmail/Safemail/Lavabit ect. Basically all other email services. Safe-mail.net announces when you are online, making it easy for timing attacks it’s prob the worst "privacy" service ever invented next to Hushmail.
I2p "postman" email so addresses like <username>@i2p.org are monitored by taliban-esque secret police admin of postman service and will nuke your account for any reasons. Don’t use it. If you want to ruin somebody’s address just make a post on Topix somewhere advertising drugs and include their @i2p.org address. Then rat to postmaster. He will kill it.
DON’T USE RISEUP EMAIL!! You need an invite, it’s for political activists only (and only activism they agree with) and US based servers, so FBI/NSA can steal them at anytime and they’re probably heavily watched by every single agency due to eco terriblists, animal liberation front, sea shepherd group ect. Cops where I live were even doing illegal surveillance on the Food Not Bombs group where I live and watching their emails because they were "known to house visiting anarchists". Avoid.
Good Enough privacy for Localbitcoins and other sites
=================================https://www.vmail.me/en/ or privatdemail.net
You should probably avoid Gmail and other US based email services that can hand over history of whatever bitcoins you escrow/traded on the site. Vmail is hosted in the EU, so they are open to mandatory EU data retention laws.Check this site too, some good non business email providers that won’t leak NSA metadata https://prism-break.org/
In GOD we trust, all others we monitor – ‘Merika
Thanks, forgot about riseup.net. Added it to the list along with Privat DE Mail. If you used and liked tormail you might just want to sign up for premium JonDo and pay with bitcoin. For a free service take a look at Privat DE Mail. They use a self signed SSL certificate so Firefox will not let you connect until you install the ‘Skip Cert Error’ add-on. Forget about Lavabit, they shut down today.
