Tor hidden server access to mailbox IMAP servers

Çağatay E. shared this idea ago

Proposed

Hello. I would like to reach my mailbox.org IMAP server via a dedicated tor hidden server/service URL. These URLs end with a .onion TLD and offer the superior anonymity and default end-to-end encryption feature of the tor network. Would mailbox service providers consider creating a tor hidden server access for the mailbox service? Thanks.

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that! However, I am currently in the trial tier of a free account (with the prospect of switching to a Private (Light) account tier), and currently I am unable to connect to the IMAP server via an email client. Is this a restriction for the free, trial-tier accounts?

Edit: I was able to reach the IMAP server using its tor onion address. It works. Thanks.
