A.  Yes, you can still anonymously register for almost anything.  It's not 
straightforward and requires a bit of forethought and jumping through hoops.  
No, it probably won't defeat the NSA, but if they're your adversary what in 
blue blazes are you doing using any kind of electronic device let alone posting 
here.  

B. The Shadowgate documentary isn’t.  This is Coo-Coo for CocoaPuffs territory. 
 If you want to believe that stuff that's cool, just thought I'd make sure to 
stick the tinfoil tag on this one since you speak of it like it's a legit 
thing.

C.  Replying to person you were replying to -- how pants on head stupid does 
one have to be to use Tor browser (or any type of security critical software) 
on XP?  If you think that's a good idea then you shouldn't be using Tor.  
Either you don't need Tor and using Tor is silly for you, or you do need Tor 
and you're going to hurt yourself bad by having not the slightest clue how to 
use Tor safely.   

D: If you really need secure anonymous email, fire up TAILS on a bootable DVD, 
sign up for a free Protonmail account over Tor, use a burner prepaid phone 
number to authenticate to Protonmail (Protonmail correctly gets worried about 
Tor signups), access Protonmail only over Tor (they have a hidden service).  If 
that's not good enough to circumvent your adversaries, again, you should 
probably just move up into the remote Alaskan wilderness and live off wild 
animals and shrubbery for the rest of your life and hope the bad men never find 
you.

Howdy.

So yes, I'm using Becky! as a MUA + an outdated GnuPG plugin on Windows XP, but 
functionality is somewhat crippled for anything other than GnuPG v1.4.

Nope, they dropped support for XP (specifically the browser part) a while ago, 
which thing never really affected me since I use a third party browser which I 
interface with the "expert bundle" exe that they continue to distribute. Of 
course, that's an gross oversimplification of what's actually going on this 
computer, but you catch my drift.

As far as secmail.pro is concerned, it's not possible to use it with Becky! 
because there's no server-side support for SMTP, POP3 or IMAP, so I'm writing 
directly from semail's web interface.

Unfortunately since practically every single internet service in existence (be 
it mail, fora or otherwise) has been in bed with the worldwide private data 
collection operation going on right now (lookup PRISM and the ShadowGate 
documentary) it's no longer possible (and so it's been for nearly a decade now) 
to anonymously register any type of account anywhere, meaning I'm technically 
shunned from the Internet and it's nothing short of a miracle that I'm able to 
post here at all. I'm actually shocked this place hasn't been hijacked by 
vpn-hating cloudflare and the google captcha nazis because that's true 
everywhere else.

Currently I use another free, anonymous e-mail service called TorBox which does 
have SMTP/POP3 support for everyday communications, though that's only viable 
for people operating within the TOR network as it's got no clearweb support 
unlike secmail itself, which at the end of the day is kind of a useless thing 
anyways given it's blacklisted status (and that completely without 
justification) among most every big and small e-mail provider out there.
