This step by step guide walks you through how to set up a #private OnionMail account using #Tor. If you’ve ever wanted an anonymous email service that doesn’t log or profile you, this is the fastest way to get it running.

This is better than some of his other stuff. But he missed a few things:
OnionMail server configurations vary. Not all instances use POP3 on port 110 or SMTP on port 25 with STARTTLS; some require SSL/TLS on ports 995 (POP3S) or 465 (SMTPS). Consult each server’s configuration page / directory entry and apply those parameters.
Tor Browser alone does not expose a system-wide SOCKS5 proxy, so Thunderbird cannot route traffic through Tor by default. Consider running the Tor service (Tor Expert Bundle or tor daemon) and configure the client to use 127.0.0.1:9050 (SOCKS5).
STARTTLS support on .onion services is inconsistent and oft replaced with self‑signed or plaintext connections. Confirm certificate validity and opt for native SSL/TLS or end‑to‑end encryption.
Finally, depending on your chosen server, both POP3 and IMAP may be supported.
