I have 6 boxes. When my business online was doing well I had 11. Now I keep one just for capture page information(websites that want a name and email to let you view any content) which I just call shaysjunk, then I have another box for signups online for getting my signup confirmations, my general mail box, a mailbox where i send anything related to my schooling, an email box at my school site, and another for my website. They are all free and I check into each one just about every day.

I use an automatic form filler that remembers them for me. Though when I first started signing up for email boxes I just used to use the same user name and password everywhere.

I have 4. Three of them are yahoo and one msn. The msn, I rarely use and as a result it is the only one that isn't constantly junked up. My yahoo's are the ones I use for everything. I average about 300 junk emails per day. It's crazy.

I would recommend that you turn on your email filters. Taht will take care of a lot of that problem right there.

2: My good one and my bad one. I use one for my junk email and for signing up for websites, the other for personal use. It's really good to have 2, you can easily keep track of good and bad emails real easily.

I have a ton of them. I Have hotmail, Yahoo, Myway, but i have more than one for hotmail, i dont know why i have so many .. i dont use them all .. i just have them because i changed my msn a few times and that required a new email address.

So many of them will delete inactive accounts so you probably do not have as many as you think you do.

Why will you try to make more. Do you need them? Or are you just getting them to keep up with the Jones's?

I have around 6 email boxes. I had more but I never used them anymore. It's not easy having so many inboxes. Needs a lot of time to check all of them!
