There are several that have great uptime and work really well under Tor. I would recommend these above Tormail:
* Lavabit is one that I would recommend, as it is light, has solid uptime, and doesn't require javascript. * Vmail.me works well and offers POP/IMAP, though it does require javascript to create an account or use their webmail. * Email.is also works well, though you need another email account to have the password sent to. * GeurrillaMail.com works well as a one-time email for account confirmations and if you just need to send one message. Zoho comes highly recommended, but in testing I wasn't able to create an account while using Tor. And for me at least, Gmail is unusable in the browser under tor. Of course, no email provider provides complete content privacy -- right now only PGP encryption can offer that.
