Tor hidden server access to mailbox IMAP servers

Çağatay E. shared this idea ago

Planned

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.

Does anyone know the working details for the .onion server? Or, alternatively, for the TOR exit node?

The link mentioned by Zapata appears to have vanished:

Hello WK,

we had to temporarily deactivate our TOR node in order to perform some updates and maintenance. Currently we cannot estimate how long this might take. This is the reason why we took our Knowledge Base article offline. We will inform you as soon as the node is back up again.

We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause for you. If you have any further questions regarding this matter, please let us know.

Kind regards

Your mailbox Team
