The only way I've been able to create a Gmail account recently was through an Android
tablet. I installed Orbot and Orweb APKs so all traffic was through Tor at the time, then
created the account through Settings > Acounts & Sync > Add Account. I was
surprised it didn't want a phone number.
I've created accounts with hushmail but they block some exit nodes.
I saw http://safe-mail.net mentioned before and I can confirm that they don't
reject Tor users. I use these guys the most. I've read some suspicions about
them, though, because their NS is through barak.net.il but I don't know if
that's a valid concern.

It'd be hard to avg user to create anonymous Gmail acct. Maybe use a
throw away cell phone; use WiFi that's near pay phone? Google SAYS they
won't do anything w/ the phone # or SMS device, except to verify the
acct. But then, Google says a lot of things. It only deters "honest"
people from setting up anonymous accts - criminal types will use throw
away phones, etc.
In my search for providers to create accts using Tor, Safe-mail was
one. Yes - based in Israel. Don't know it's a big concern, except some
servers might filter email from foreign countries - but many don't.
They have long, 6 mo period before inactivating accts w/o login; Storage
of 3 MB is very low. Send a msg, then del, I guess.
Privatdemail.net is in Egypt & don't allow sending email to Israel. SAY
they don't log *any* files or IP addresses. Have decent 500 MB storage;
10 MB max message size; support POP / IMAP; 90 day deactivation if no
login. No idea how many servers would filter mail from Egypt.
