not every company is out to suck money from every angle possible. But with that said, they could very well have other structures in place to finance it.

Or do it as a hobby project. I have one that costs me perhaps 300 USD a year in hosting cost, just for the fun of it.

OK, you may be right, but I'm not skilled enough to make safe decisions here.

I took a look at Tor Mail today and have some serious questions about what's going on with them.

Hosting IMAP and SMTP servers isn't free and they neither have ads nor do they charge for the service. Where is the money coming from?
Can anyone estimate how much does it cost per year to provide the service? They don't even ask for donations.

They could be wealthy and generous.

They could pay the hosting by selling some data they can collect. Who communicates with whom and some mails without encryption.

They could be run by evil people.

From what I have heard, they are indeed run by evil people!! @ioerror retweeted about this a few months ago:

If you search for "tormail honeypot" you get this:

I can't make a knowledgeable decision about this, but I will stay way off tormail in the future.


yea, except the real tormail is *.tormail.ORG not .NET  ...  right?  Make no mistake that there isn't a shortage of honeypot exit nodes however.

They could own their own datacenter and just have some bandwidth and servers sitting around.
You'd be surprised what a DC can do with just a few servers and a tiny bit of bandwidth.
