PS: The ultimate solution would be to use Tor-based email (similar to tormail.org) at both sides AND encrypt it from both ends. Then NSA does not know who is c

  >>Problem solved. I wouldn't be so sure. Snowden was hinting at the NSA having the mechanism to break encryption. I lost the exact quote, but it was a direct response to the suggestion that we encrypt everything, and was something along the lines of, "you wouldn't even believe what the NSA is really capable of - it's scary." Even if they don't have the means to get around encryption, you still aren't fully secure. What if you have a keylogger installed on your machine? What if the hardware itself has been designed to aid the NSA? Intel, after all, is one of their regular collaborators.

    If they have to install a keylogger, at least they have to specifically target you.

    If NSA can break modern crypto (especially if they can do it in real time) then it is a secret at least as big as Ultra/Magic and the NSA wouldn't ever dare to use anything they found on you this way, even if it was the only way to prevent another 9/11.

  But they will know you are using Tor.

    Better that than them knowing exactly to whom and how much you are communicating.

    If this becomes popular (easy-to-use bundled software is a must), knowledge about whenever one uses Tor or I2P would be as useful as knowledge that the person in question uses the Internet.
