I just realized for whatever reason that I actually have five email addressess. Why? I don't know. Probably somewhere down the line I forgot to cancel some like hotmail etc. How may email accounts do you have and what do you use them for?

That seems to make a whole lot of sense. And to have a definite purpose for each email makes life a little easier.

I have actually quite a few email account. But now I only use email addresses associated with my own website, plus one gmail account for official purpose and one Yahoo account for social purposes.

Yes, I am going to have to streamline also. I guess Yahoo is good for social purposes. That's one I might keep unless I stop socializing. LOL. Thanks for dropping by, my friend. Have a great weekend.

I have two. One at Yahoo, and one at Hotmail. I started the one at Hotmail, ecause Yahoo quit allowing mail rom gather.come to come my way, I know I get thousands of notifiations from Gather, but I signed up for those notiications, and that's that. Yahoo doesn't hae the right to decide whih mail I get and whih mail I do not get.

They b*tch because thousands of e-mails a day from the SAME ADDRESS must constitute SPAM. That's MY decision to make, not theirs. My husband and I are both super annoyed by this.

What is their reasoning for not letting those emails from Gather come through? That doesn't seem to make sense.

At the moment I only have one email address, which is my personal email account. When I return to Australia next month and get a job, no doubt I'll also then inherit a work email address as well. I actually like only having the single email account. It means I don't have to waste time checking several accounts. Everything important all gets sent to the one place, and anything I don't want I just delete immediately. I've got a gmail account, so I get very little spam, which is also a bonus.

Sweet! Returning to Australia has to be nice. I miss it very much and my cousins are begging me to come "home." Kind of made a life for myself here in the US though. Thank the Lord for email. LOL. I also have a gmail account and am very happy with the small amount (if any)spam. Definitely a bonus. Good luck in Australia.

I've actually got 4. One is my standard that I pay attention to. Another is for notifications from groups. A third is for spam, websites that I know are going to annoy me with email because I have to sign up to read the site. The fourth is my address at work. I read the first daily, the second weekly, the third I go to once a month and dump whatever's in there. My work I have to read.

I have 1 on cox, 3 on yahoo, and 1 on gmail. Sometimes websites won't take one or the other. Also, sometimes I am not sure if they will send me spam. Thanks for reading and good luck.

I have 3, well actually 4 but I never use one of them. Two with gmail, one with hotmail and one with yahoo that's never used and has probably been deleted by now :) I use the hotmail one as a thing I use when i sign up for a website, one of the gmails is used for messageing people, the other is used for signing up for things or newsletters, and as I said before I have a yahoo account that I never use but I used to use it for that yahoo radio thing which was pretty cool! :)

I have two accounts but only use one. I'm on aol all the time although I do have a Yahoo account. I use my aol account for regular email and myLot notifications. The yahoo account is used once in awhile for an account set up by a high school classmate so we can keep in touch and make plans to meet for dinner, etc.
