Visit Cock.li

Cock.li is a public email hosting service that has been operating since 2013, providing email addresses, webmail, and an XMPP server. Accounts are not tied to personal information verification, and the team states that it does not read or scan email content. The service also publishes a warrant canary and transparency report, and is funded mainly by voluntary cryptocurrency donations.

The service supports IMAP and POP for mail access, webmail, and XMPP chat. It also offers onion addresses for HTTP, webmail, IMAP, POP, and XMPP. Users are advised to encrypt message content with X.509 or GPG where possible and to download and delete mail from the servers regularly. Registration is available through the site, along with password changes, SMTP unblocking, and a contact form.
