what ip free email do you recommend?

i have been trying to find an ip in gmail and I don't see one in the headers but I'm surprised google would not show this.

gmail and fastmail are both 100% risky free.

wow cool, why does a mainstream provider like Gmail block your IP for you? That's so great!

I believe that Hushmail does as well, but Gmail has the best GUI, imho.

Yes, everyone of my baiting accounts are G-Mail. The 3rd party apps you get for monitoring lots of accounts are handy too Very Happy

I heard from a reliable source that hushmail is not really as anonymous as it seems. It is a front for government monitoring. Of course I can't verify this but beware.

I have a feeling that they have the ability to monitor it all. I don't wear a tinfoil hat for nothing. Wink

See here:

It's a cached page because the site was taking down. Coincidence or suspicious?

Here's anotherone: http://www.itnews.com.au/News/65213,hushmail-turns-out-to-be-anything-but.aspx

I would advocate just using a gmail and using one or more chained emailed forwarding services. Although none of these services explicitly claims to be secure and private usually legit companies will not release your info to any old schmuck that asks for it, they'll want a court order or something of like. If someone who is trying to track you wastes time on all that only to find out that it just forwards to another address where they have to go through the same process again it will be time consuming and frustrating at the least.

Great! Now my IP was logged visiting that site!

In all seriousness, for baiting purposes, the above mentioned providers work quite well.

Welcome to Eater and have fun.

Can you please post the info on the 3rd party apps please. I really need something like that.

^^^Here is the one that I use, if you happen to use Firefox.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1320

If you don't use Firefox, I highly recommend it.

That's the one I was going to link, but the good Pastor beat me to it Wink

I obviously also recommend it.

Hushmail suspends free accounts that haven't been accessed for three weeks. Paying for a paid account is the only way of regaining access.
Why would it do that if it was a government front?

I don't see how that in anyway precludes them from being involved with governments... Shocked

Since I am barely able to turn on my computer, how do I tell if I am running/using Firefox? Or is it a case of: if I am asking then I am not using it.......

Baiting Guru Joined: 31 Jan 2007 Posts: 12237

Firefox is a browser, just like Internet Explorer. I assume you are using Microsoft Windows and using IE as a browser.

Firefox is more secure, and you can use the extension, that was mentioned earlier, along with hundreds of other ones.

You can get Firefox here...

http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/firefox.html

It is free, and open source. There is plenty of information there to help you install it, it is only about 3 mouse clicks.

Edit: It will also give you the option to import your bookmarks during the install. The transition should be seamless.

@ Pastor Frank:
Thanks for sharing your intimate add-on knowledge. That add-on rocks.
The most amazing part is that you are doing all this from a holding cell.

That is old news, I have been on supervised release for a few months now.

If you're switching to Firefox, don't forget NoScript and Web of Trust add-ons...
