Urgent
- Add this to https://www.fsf.org/resources/webmail-systems under "Not Recommended": Apple iCloud (@icloud.com. Old emails: @me.com, @mac.com) -- iCloud account creation requires Apple devices (either an iOS device or a Mac).
- Change "@msn.com" to "@msn.com"
- Sort Microsoft Outlook.com alphabetically in the list
- Add "Tor operated: TorGuerrillaMail under "These disposable email services have been verified to work without proprietary JavaScript:"

Cannot create account
The "Create my account" opens the CAPTCHA each time I click on it no mattter if I've finished the CAPTCHA several times.
Broken Thunderbird settings
[I have emailed this issue to the OpenMailBox team 2019-03-20]
It's not possible to add OpenMailBox accounts in Thunderbird that displays this warning message:
Thunderbird failed to find the settings for your email account.
I've seen this error message that also made it impossible to add an account:
Certificate Status This site attempts to identify itself with invalid information. Wrong Site The certificate belongs to a different site, which could mean that someone is trying to impersonate this site.
It's not possible to use the "Confirm Security Exception" button.
The "Get Certificate" button reads:
No Information Available Unable to obtain identification status for this site.
I guess we should move OpenMailBox under the "Under Review" section and include the above text to it.
Riseup
Structure the links and add Tor links:
-
Riseup[1]
- Roundcube, SquirrelMail
- Tor: Roundcube. See Riseups Tor onion services for email configuration
1: "In order to create a Red Account you will need an invite. Obtain an Invite Code from a friend." - https://riseup.net/en/email/settings/mail-accounts#how-do-i-create-an-email-account
New services
These new webmail services could be added to the "Recommended section in https://www.fsf.org/resources/webmail-systems :
-
Bitmessage.ch (requires Tor Browser despite not being an .onion address)
- Tor: Roundcube, SquirrelMail
- TorBox (SquirrelMail over Tor)
External links
