Thank you for this. Do you know of any actually good Email providers? I have both a Protonmail account and a Tutanota account. Ok, I also have a Gmail as well, I think world plus dog does right?

Actually, any email provider+PGP is good, but incoming mail may not always be encrypted, and trusting the provider with your keys is a REALLY bad idea. Paranoid does this without storing your private keys like protonmail. They have a no-webmail policy (you'll need a mail client) and encrypt all incoming mail (if unencrypted) with your public key which is the only key they store.

I also have a paranoid.mail address, but it's unclear to me if they're still "around". Although I was able to get the clearnet mailservers working fine, and I love the pop3 access, I wanted to use it over TOR and no matter what, with the information provided, I couldn't get Thunderbird to accept the TOR mailservers.

That's odd. I use it via thunderbird on tails everyday, via their onion servers. Maybe it's because thunderbird on tails comes pre-configured to use Tor? Also I think they use imap and not pop3.

Possibly. I'm just using it on my Debian desktop. Let me take a look at the settings again. If you don't mind testing it out with me (sending me an email, me sending one back) then shoot me a PM. If not, no worries.

Unsure, honestly. I use ProtonMail as well. Hoping to see some suggestions by others.
