So that settles it for recommending Hushmail for true private communications - don't use it.

That wasn't the first time they cooperated with law enforcement.

One thing it's a "private communications" service and other a bulletproof one.

I do not understand why they are still in the business. It seems their reputation is destroyed, yet they are still here.

Yes, encrypt all your mails using PGP.

I like the idea that some agents are regularly using Tor, whilst others are asking the Tor guy if he can track Tor users...

Yes, encrypt all your mails using PGP.

The problem with PGP is that while it keeps the content of your mail exchange secret, it does not protect the information that two persons exchanged emails. So if the investigators have a lead to person A that sells drugs and see that he's communicating with person B that accepts payments, the might just guess what relationship the two have.
