Thanks
you need some sort of browsing annonymiser, there are few out there, i think that firefox has a add on for that foxtor i think
You can send anon email through a service like this - http://www.theanonymousemail.com/
The recipient who received an email from you (hotmail, gmail etc.) would not know your IP address. however hotmail logs the IP where you logged in from. The recipient would have to subpeona them for their records.
If you really want to be anonymous, use a proxy to log in to your webmail. This way the proxy IP is logged by them and not your IP.
But the chain goes on and on. If you do something really awful they can discover where you originally came from, proxy or not. Its likely the proxy logged your original IP.
Of course you can bounce off of multiple proxies too to make it more difficult to trace back to you. But again, with some amount of effort there is always a trail back to you.
