<li class="tidylist"><b>Anonymous E-mail</b><br>Postman's I2P-based mail system can be accessed either via <a href="/susimail/">I2P's built-in webmail</a> (aka susimail) or using any mail client that supports smtp and pop3. Accounts can send and receive mail from the normal internet. For an account, visit <a href="http://hq.postman.i2p/" target="_blank">hq.postman.i2p</a>. Additionally, <a href="http://i2pbote.i2p/" target="_blank">I2P-Bote</a> is a new serverless, end-to-end encrypted e-mail system (with web interface) developed by HungryHobo, installable as a plugin.</li>
<li class="tidylist"><b>Anonymous Chat</b><br>Start your IRC client (eg. chatzilla)
and connect to the <a href="irc://127.0.0.1:6668/i2p">server</a> at <code>127.0.0.1 port 6668</code>. Your local I2P IRC proxy on localhost:6668 will direct you to one of two IRC servers hosted on I2P by Postman and Badger, but neither you nor they know where the other is, and your mom, ISP or government is unable to intercept your conversation! Once you're there, #i2p, #i2p-help, #i2p-chat and #i2p-dev are just a few of the available channels you may wish to /join. There's also a I2P based <a href=http://echelon.i2p/qti2pmessenger>instant messenger</a> for unmonitorable, uncensorable, anonymous chat.</li>
