i have a few and one is for my personal things...that ive had for years...and the other one i use for my professional things...its easy to take care of both of them because of the fact that they are both used for different things. i have a few more but those are for different websites i sign into...this sounds like a lot.

I have multiple emails in just a site, like in yahoo i have two, in hotmail i have two and in gmail i have two. I am using gmail for multiple attachments. I have two because the other one is for storing some documents and the other one is for friend. My yahoo is for friendster, and the everyday yahoo address where i sign in is for general. My hotmail is for chatting and the other one is for paypal. I keep it all and i maintain to sign in regularly but i am mostly in yahoo almsot everyday and everytime i am online.

Thank you for that info. I did not know that it can be fraud to have multiple account at the same site. Is it even i am using the same information about myself but only different email addresses? By the way it can help me to think of.

I only have two, so it's not as if it's too hard to maintain. One is for my school - and so I communicate with professors, TAs, advisors, future roommates, and so on - with that email. With my other email - I get everything. Emails from friends, survey invitations, spam, and so on. It's really not very hard to maintain.

yes i mantaiin multiple emails on the net!!Probably because some i can use for personal use or other for business and so in many cases i think it can be suitable to have different mails for different purposes...so normally if the mail account are to much it will become a little bit strange but you hae some more than one..it is ok and suitable!

Hi Harshrosicky, I have two email accounts but only because to join freecycle I had to open a yahoo one so I don't use it for anything else so in reality I do only have the one that I use on a daily basis, considering opening another though as my inbox only holds 1000 emails and at present there is over 900 in there and as fast as I reply and delete more appear. Huggles. Ellie :D

I use several addresses. I have one at hotmail, I have one for competitions (since you'll get a lot of spam that way)and one for mailinglists. Ialso have one private - that I just use for mailing with friends and when I look for work. I would not like to just use one - after a year or two they often tend to most give me spam - my private is the one that gets less than the others. Take care and happy MyLoting

Since I have several identities I do have several email accounts. Did I have you going on that one? No really I do have more than one email account but I really only use one. Every now and then I will check out the other ones and delete all the old emails. Actually, I started them for some specific reason which I can't even remember now but I'm afraid to let them die because I might need them again. They also come in handy when you get those emails that say forward to five of your friends, ect. Since for the most part I don't like to bother my friends with that sort of thing if I feel I must forward it I will just forward it to myself.

Yes the problem for creating multiple account is forgetting password.But my opinion is we can create an account or multiple account,but one is only for online jobs and the other for personal use,then you can't expose your personal information.

I have one e-mail that I use which is my MSN. I don't use my Yahoo for anything but storing my Facebook notification mails.

I have more than one. There is my main email account that I share with my husband, one for my mylot notifications, one just because I was curious about the gmail thing and held onto it, a couple of hotmail ones, and a bunch through yahoo most of which I had forgotten about, and some others I might be forgetting to mention. Yep, having a bunch can be a pain to maintain. I've used so many email addresses before that I actually lost count! LOL

I have a couple of different email addresses. I have a main one that I use with friends and stuff and another that I use when websites ask for an email address. By doing it this way I can cut back on the amount of spam I have to filter out. I go into my backup account and clear it out every so often and every time I do I'm glad that all the junk mail isn't coming to the account I use everyday.

I maintain two email accounts. I use maintain three or more but then I got tired of deleting spam. I still create a bunch of emails for offers but I rarely go in them and look at the email.
