Be aware that Tormail is in no way affiliated with the Tor Project and that it is unknown who operates it. Your current email provider and all other email providers out there are in the position to read your emails. With most services you are able to use encryption for the transport; the message will be send from your computer to their server and no one* can read the message. Tormail offers the same property of transport encryption without relying on the CA system as it uses Tor's hidden service system. Another property you gain is that Tormail does not learn about your location (unless you write it in your messages). Tormail still learns about your friends communicating with you. (You can get the same result if you create an email account over Tor and use your account over Tor, if the provider does not block Tor.) Email providers have access to your emails and are able to hand them out to government agencies. Tormail might look good in this regard, but since it is unknown who operates it it might be the exact opposite. Supposing you find an email provider that gives you all you want, your friends would have to switch to, because if you don't trust their providers you have lost the game. Using encryption for the content of your message is more worthwhile. Well, yes all of them would have to use it. PGP and OTR are solutions and they work regardless of the service.
