As for me, yes, I do keep more than 1 email accts. Aside from my personal email, which I use for communicating with my friends and family, I also have one for my online job and online activities, another one I use for my online bank accounts and payment processors, and another one also for joining social sites. How about you mylotters? Do you also keep more than 1 email accts as I do? If yes, for what purpose?

yeah because of offers and spam messages, if you use any of those offer websites to make money, you need a spare email address because you'll be swarmed with spam. lol

Well I guess in todays era of Internet it has become mandatory for almost everyone to have more than one email accounts. As far as i m concerned I totally have around 10 email address which i use for different purposes seperately viz personal, professional,transactions and etc etc. Actually it helps you to draw a line and seperate your personal and professional lives. Without using more thanone email addresses all your things will just mixed up which will result in more complexity and will be troublesome. So its necessary to have multiple email accounts to deal with your online life perfectly.

Hello. I am maintaining two email accounts. One for facebook because I hate spam emails from the forums and social networks I am active in. Another one is for paypal and some business-related email. I think it's organized to have at least two email accounts so as to mix up your email for social networking or games or subscriptions and one for financial-related transactions. Cheers! Honey

Right now I have about five active email accounts but the one I use most is my domain email (the one I use with my website). My work email is the most active too, but I can't access it outside of the office network, which is a good thing so I can't bring my work home. hehe. I think the goal should be to consolidate all four personal addresses and just access one :)

Yes, I do. I have one really old one that I have had for years, and I keep it because you never know if someone might still use it. I also have another one that gets a lot of spam mails, so I switched from that one to a third one, but I still have the spammy one, even if I do not check it so often. I think that is pretty common.

The existence of malicious hackers, scammers, phishers, and other rogue characters on the Internet means that it is advisable to have more than 1 email address. There should be at least one address which is not given to anyone, to be used as a back-up for important emails in other addresses. Even social sites should be separated. I used to have about 100 hundred email addressses about 8 years ago. Many web bassed email service providers have folded, so I am down to less than 30. No, I do not use it for illegal activities. I use them to protect my privacy.

Yes, in fact, I keep three email accounts. One is the first email account I have created for myself which is used for personal emails like jokes, forwarded mail and keeping up with friends. The second one was provided by my current employer which I use for work-related emails. The third one is for my job applications and I made that one more professional sounding unlike the first email I created.

Hi, Though I don't have the actual count but I have more than a hundred email ids. Most of them are in yahoo, a few in gmail and the rest with some other service provider. But I've frequently use two email ids. I generally don't use Yahoo for emailing purpose as they have issues. The id is only for chatting over yahoo messenger. The id I use extensively for emailing purpose is in gmail. I also chat through gtalk and orkut. thanks God bless you

Yes I have more than 1 email accounts. I have a gmail account which I used for business related or private transactions. And a yahoo account that I rarely opened. I only use this to chat with my friends. Most of them are still using yahoo messenger. I also have an email account from my work.
