My bestfriend texted me her new email add today - probably her 12th! How many email addresses does a normal person usually own anyways?

I think 2 are enough . I have 2 mail yahoo boxes : one used for fill in register form on internet , one used for contact with my friends and my family . I don't want have to many e mail address because I can't remember all user names and passwords .

I have 2 personal email addresses, one from yahoo and the other gmail. I have several for work, due to the nature of my job. I alao have two email addresses used mainly for my internet stuff. I guess it really depends on one's lifestyle if one needs one or more email addresses. Considering how easy it is to open a free email account, I guess it goes without saying that anybody can get a new one everytime they need one. Furthermore, most emails get spammed quickly. I experienced this and I have two close two email accounts because of that phenomena. So, to each his own when it comes to how many email addresses is enough.

i had one yahoo account that I used to use, but yahoo became such a pain so i swtiched to gmail, I have had two "main" accounts (i just made all my emails from the old one formward to the new one, the name on the old one was bad and too childish). I also have some spam email adresses (1 mainly) that I just use to sign up to sites which I don't need/want updates from

when i was still a newbie in cyberspace, i used to signup for every single free- email-add website. i thought that i am more lucky than others for being able to do so. then as i get more knowledgeable on using the internet, i have decided i'll just keep one that i can use for all my online emailing needs. there's spam filter anyway, so i don't need to worry about my inbox being filled with junk mails. i can just delete them anytime anyways. and now with yahoo's no limit mail storage, deleting is usually not an option that i consider. i just segregate the ones that are more important. others, i just leave sitting in my inbox. so currently i only have two. one for personal use and the other my work email.
