Email is NEVER safe, PGP encrypt your messages to make it safe.
But I would recommend something like tormail.net instead.

That's senseless! No mail is safe because emails are stored as plain-text in the server side and can be easily opened by who controls the server.
Also TLS/SSL at Tor is actually a bad idea, contrary to clearwebs, because of its fingerprints and Tor already encrypts all in-Tor traffic.

No matter what e-mail service you choose, if you're talking 'business' use encryption.  Your best bet is to believe that any system you use is compromised.

I would advise against gmail because if you sign up from several different IP addresses (which will happen if you use tor) then sometimes gmail may ask you to verify your account using a phone.
