How many email addresses do you have?
This is getting out of control! But I am really tired of sifting through tons of stuff to find what is for business and what is for fun.
1) I have my “main” one I give to family and friends.
2) I have a throw away one I use when I order stuff off the internet.
3) I have a separate one for Habitat for Humanity (I was voted in to join the board of our local chapter)
4) And I have another for substitute teaching.
These are ones I actually use. I still have an old email attached to my Fluther account that I would have no idea how to get into, and an even older email account that I used to set up Facebook long ago, that I have no idea how to get into.
I am about to make another just for the pictures I take.

I have 3, but only really use 2.
Two personal, and my work one.
More than a dozen. All with different passwords. All tied to different accounts and services.
Just finished setting up my pictures account.
Two. One for work with a university server address and one gmail for personal stuff.
Three. One for official city business, one personal, one work.
So now I have 5. Let’s see if it makes life easier or harder.
I have 2, but the second one is useless.
I got the second one, so I could separate personally specific messages from those I get from advocacy groups and petitioners. The thing is though, it all still goes to the same inbox.
Perhaps I’ll get a third one with a different server.
I have three. One primary that I’ve had since I was a kid and use for most things. One for school, and one secondary that I use for more “private” things.
You don’t need a different server. I have all 5 of mine set up under Google gmail. It’s really nice because from any one of them you can click on your accounta on the right and it pulls up a drop down menu showing all your email accounts. You just click on them to sign in. I would show you a screen shot but photobucket is acting like a jerk.
I love that @demosthenes has had one since he was a kid! We still had pen and paper when I was a kid.
I have two that I use. A work one and a personal one. But I haven’t received a personal email in ages. It’s all ads and junk. People text nowadays.
@Dutchess_III
You’re right in that I could make Gmail my only server, but it’ll probably be easier for me to keep my ATT/Yahoo account for personally specific messages, and set up a different one at Gmail. That way, I don’t have to send address changes to my wife, credit union, etc.
I haven’t seen anything at A/Yahoo that provides inter-account separation, and if there is, they’d probably charge me extra for it.
I was thinking of getting my third one at Google anyway, so I appreciate your recommendation as support for my plan.
Four. One main personal one, one gmail one that forwards to the personal, which I can stop forwarding if I ever leave Comcast, one throwaway one which is pretty anonymous (for website comments and such), and one from work.
Like @kritiper I have one, it’s enough for me.
I have two, one I use in the UK and the other when I am in China.
