You could have an email address that you only check at open wireless AP's like Starbucks.
Sounds like your proxy is broken or not set up properly. Try tor. It is slow but works well.
If you don't get it figured out in a month I will show up at your house and make it work.

tor has no backdoor.. other than flash or some other external program how would this be possible?
and OP what is your objection against using something like hushmail?

I'm just saying there are ways to circumvent its security by other means then the internet and the usual pathways, i.e. caches, logs, etc... all those things can proove certain things in a court of law if the dots are connected.

mac address?? just saying..
also snoot they would have to have your physical computer or be able to somehow match up cookies from your previous connections to monitor your activity. like some cain and abel or a similar sniffing program could do this, but even still they would have to have a general idea of where to look before they could start to monitor you.

Many wireless cards can change their mac address.
The MAC address only goes to the nearest hop, not the destination IP or even really out on to the Internet, so it is unlikely that they would track you that way.

This may help. Some of these I wouldn't trust, like skype. So find an open source one.

yeah i know. but all im saying is that simply going to starbucks or using someone elses wireless connection doesn't mean you are safe. unless OP is trying to do some stuff that would gain serious attention i doubt he has to worry about things like this. just bringing up a theoretical point.
of course with linux it would be cake to spoof mac and "borrow" someones WEP or even WPA connection, if they had the time to sit and sniff the connection for a while.

Ok... I study information security and digital forensics, and I'm only a couple classes away from my 2 year degree. You will never need to do that unless you are trying to make it look like someone else is sending that information. Like Alan Rockefeller mentioned, the mac address is only for physical connections and only travels one hop. You're over-thinking this.
If you want to be anonymous, start with your source. Starbucks, McDonalds, Safeway, Tully's Coffee... There's lots of free wifi's out there. The next part is encryption. Content-wise aside from using an encrypted proxy, I don't know what else you can really do. go through a proxy, from an anonymous location, and use one of the pieces of software at http://epic.org/privacy/tools.html
The next part is information left on your computer. Use a Linux Live cd/usb. It takes a whole 5 minutes to learn how, and it will not write to your hard drive. It doesn't get any easier to do than this. Those cute little "anti-forensic" tools people use like ccleaner and eraser are great, but almost never get everything. Usually the covering up is more telling than the actual evidence. Writing a "digital forensics for criminals" article is on my todo list.

simply doing anything is never really enough, its all about habits and how you go about things that makes the difference, and the level of paranoia is different for each person, you dont really have to be doing anything wrong necessairly for you to want to remain anonymous, this day in age when you're tracked 100 different ways by just browsing the internet, you never know what they do with that information, where they are piling it up, who's building giant db's. It doesnt really worry me what they may be doing with such said information at the moment but what motivates me to be safe is what they may do with it, or what some scrupulous person might do with such things.

NoScript is a brilliant addon I never leave home with out it. But TOR sets up firefox to work with no scripts by default I do believe. SSL is good technology but can be faked. Just be careful, be aware of what you're doing and where you are going. Look at SSL certs they should be authentic from the site.

para 2 : Mask your IP, basic shit
para 3 : This is because large amount of identifiable information can be stored on your computer and accessed through certain web apps. The info gleaned by a clever JS script or flash application is as follows but not limited to ; The fonts you have installed, your operating system, certain information logs, your exact browser version, and more.
I have to argue here, it might not be better to boot up using a live linux CD, but instead a fresh install of pirated windows XP or Windows 7. All the info gleaned will look like a default windows user, god knows there are millions of them out there. The goal is obscure yourself through commonality.

I wasnt saying a spoofd address is necessary, just simply stating its not hard to do using nix.,
Why use a liveCd when you can just disable scripts/flash ..etc..etc.. depending on what you're doing and the applications involved I dont see why that would be necessary. Maybe I'm wrong. You can use a simple ProcessMonitor to watch what is being written doing your web activities.

Nah, the goal with a live cd/usb is to never permanently store information in the first place. If you do format, it's usually a pain in the ass. Even if you have an image, you'll spend a couple hours wiping the drive. And how often would you do that? Once a month? Well then as soon as your computer is analyzed they have an entire month of history to analyze. Don't count on the forensic expert to be fooled by any cute tricks with the user accounts. One of the first things I'll do is look in the registry and see what accounts have been active, and eventually I'll have a nice timeline of what user did what.
Don't create it in the first place. There's nothing wrong with a live cd/usb, unless you make the USB writable. If you think it's too slow to boot up, use damn small linux.

I guess it just depends on what you're doing and the content of the doing. Depending on the severity of the crime or motivation of someone to find something, they would really need to scrutinize the hdd. I'm not sure if all that is necessary to send anon emails. But I understand what you're saying. I would only assume people would need to cleaer their hdds for certain if they were selling/getting rid/or paranoid, so I cant imagine why that would need to be done so often. There are a few really solid ways to clean an hdd, I've used one in particular (dran) that did a nice job, I kept getting a rootkit that kept reoccurring after reformatting and such.

In the modern world of spam email, it is pretty much impossible. Almost every mail server on the planet requires authentication and/or adds tracking information to the headers. The way spammers get around this is by using malware to send email from unsuspecting mules.

I guess it depends on your definition of untrackable, anything is trackable I guess the way around it would be to have it track to someone else but you. incognito

> I guess it depends on your definition of untrackable
I'm thinking in terms of the government law enforcement with subpoena power. When I was a student sysadmin in college (before the web), we had the secret service show up because somebody sent an anonymous email death threat to the president. They fingerprinted the keyboard in the semi-public student computer lab and took all of the video surveillance we had from the computer lab and the building. I never heard any more about it, but I'm guessing they probably figured out who sent the email (from the video, not the fingerprints... took them two weeks to show up... as if there were going to be any usable prints after that long on a keyboard that is used by hundreds of students a week...)
Regardless, the mail servers record the time and IP address of the MUA, along with a lot of other unique identifying information, in headers that travel with the email. So you are sitting at starbucks, using your laptop with a livecd boot, and send an anonymous email. They know the email came from the starbucks wifi, the date and the time, and most likely the type of MUA that was used. Next they snag all of the video from all of the stores in the immediate area on the date the email was sent, looking for people with laptops, that were not doing something else at the time the email was sent. It doesn't take much to narrow it down to a few people. Getting from video to an actual name is another matter... did you use a credit card to buy that latte?
Edit: And all of the above is assuming you can find an email server that will accept emails from a foreign network without you having to authenticate. These are known as open relays, and because of SPAM email, more or less, they no longer exist... Once you do authenticate with a mail server, the authentication token, which can be tracked back to the username/password used, is also included in the email headers by the email server.

Use a proxy server and send through a throw away email service. The ip is sent with the mail but it's the proxy's ip, not yours. Tor will work or some others. There are also remailers which takes them longer to track down to the originating email or you can chain proxies. By the time they got the logs from one, the other one has tossed them out.

From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.” (attributed to Alexis de Tocqueville political philosopher Circa 1835) Trade list http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/18047755
