This is getting trickier. Protonmail out of Sweden is one possibility...

Usable (and sign up from) TOR.. They have a dedicated onion site: https://protonirockerxow.onion

Or you can use their regular domain

http://www.protonmail.com

Create Account. Choose Basic (Free, limited use/capacity).

During sign up, you will need to verify human, I used an email burner.

I found that throwawaymail.com domains were blocked by protonmail, but Emailondeck.com was accepted no problem.

Works well!

Never, ever, access it from your actual IP, or a regular browser. Always access from anonymizer, to add another layer.

Any caveats about this service that anyone knows about?

Welcome to the future of email!

You now have an inbox that is protected by strong encryption. Even we do not have the ability to read your emails. ProtonMail can send and receive emails from other email providers such as Gmail. It is even possible to end-to-end encrypt the messages you send to external recipients. If your friends also use ProtonMail, all your communications with them will be automatically end-to-end encrypted.

We would also like to welcome you to our community. For the past three years, we have been providing reliable and easy-to-use encrypted email to users in over 150 countries. Since the early days when ProtonMail was used by fewer than 1000 scientists at CERN, our community has now grown to over 1 million people.

ProtonMail is an open-source community-driven project and basic accounts are always free. However, the costs to run ProtonMail are quite high, and we depend on support from the community to keep the service running.

If you would like to support the project, you can upgrade to a paid account by clicking on the 'Upgrade' link in the top menu. Your support is essential to ensuring that ProtonMail is financially stable and can continue to offer the service to the public. It is also possible to make a donation to the project here: protonmail.com/donate

Our goal is to help build an internet where everyone has the right to privacy. Together, we are making this a reality.

Best Wishes,
The ProtonMail Team
