How many emaIl accounts do you have?

We are having a discussion here about what is reasonable and what is just strange.

Day to day I use 1 95% and a 2nd the rest of the time for shady registration to reduce the spam my main gets, it is over a decade old now.

Work account, home account, two others that came with participation in a couple of groups.

um, definitely over 15 i can log into and maybe 4-5 i can no longer log into.

The computer keeps track of them for me. Most of them don't get much mail. Most of my regular mail comes in on 20 or so of them.

Is this a lot of redundancies for a business or do you just love the bloggin'?

I don't blog myself, just post on DU.

then I have a dozen disposable Gmail accounts that I use exclusively for 419 scambaiting.

Every once and a while I check to see if my various domains and my DU account point to an email account that's active. I think I went a year or two with my DU account information pointed to a dead email.

Although my personal is about to become spam because of all the spam it gets, and my spam is about to be ignored forever.

....from back when I was a fantasy sports addict.

and 2furrymonsters@scratchnsniff.org

I keep one for personal mail, one for politics, and one for "other".

My "official" e-mail is actually an aol account, and I use a hotmail account for my blog contact because it gets gobsmacked with spam. I guess I could post something like "vixenstrangely(at sign)hotmail(dot) com" if I didn't want spambots trolling for my e-mail, but sometimes checking your inbox and discovering you've won the Irish lottery fifteen times feels really, really good.

1. For my regular mail
2. For my junk mail.

I just go to my junk mail one and delete it every week, and read through my regular mail in relative peace.

every time I forget the password, I have to set up a new one, I really must write this stuff down :(

I have had to re-enroll on DU because I forgot my password to my last account, so I had the password sent to my previous email account, well...I forgot the password to my email account, so I had to start all over...

One at voila.fr for "everyone"

One at voila.fr for family and close friends only

One at Hotmail for newsletters I subscribe to at

One at Hotmail for Amazon.com

One at GMail for eBay

One "spam magnet" at Yahoo I use every time a site I want to see demands that I register or input an e-mail address

One at Yahoo for fantasy football only

One on a Russian web portal (rambler.ru) for my Russian-speaking friends (the service offers a virtual keyboard so I can respond from any computer instead of just from ones with Cyrillic fonts installed)

One old AOL / AIM account, just to be able to use the IM feature

One at Canada.com so that I have full access to all their sites

BTW, even though GMail has the most storage, I hate it. Give me folders, not labels.

the above list doesn't include a work e-mail address. Thanks a lot, pResident Bush.

There are probably others that I've forgotten about/haven't used for years.
