Question How many Email accounts do you have?

I'm interested to see how many email accounts people have, how many of them you regularly use, etc.

I'd also like to hear how many you access via webmail, etc.

I'll go first - I have about 6 or 7 I think: Work, 2 on my ISP, Hotmail, GMail, and a couple of others I cant quite think of at the moment.

Only really use the work and one of the ISP accounts regularly. I used to use Hotmail a lot, but all the Junkmail was annoying me. GMail I use for a specific couple of purposes, other than that I never touch it.




Hecate Guides, but you dont hear me preaching about it! Now p*** off and leave me be.

Posts made by this user do not, and never will, represent anyone other than himself, except in any scenario where explicitly declared. This non-representation includes, but is not limited to, current employers.

I have 3 active e-mail accounts, but 5 working e-mail addresses: my work one (that I use for my full-time and part-time job), my personal one (however I got 2 personal e-mail addresses that re-directs to my personal one) and my yahoo account that I use for my writing job

Just the two for me, my work one which is pretty much what I use on a regular basis, and then my personal hotmail account for everything else!

Edit: forget 1 my certforums email

I've got my wiredwriter account which is my primary business email, two yahoo accounts, one that's personal and one for my congregation, a gmail account and a hotmail account.

I went for controversy and hit "21+".

I have 3 aliases to one mailbox at work; 1 hotmail for MSN; 1 gmail for legacy email and googletalk IM (encrypted, so work can't sniff it - ironic, as my job is to record web traffic ) and then my own domains.

I have my personal address, a "personal work" (aka homers) address, plus an address I reserve for any CF issues, and most recently, a mailbox in support of a local campaign I'm running. I will also offer mailboxes to anyone in need of them during the campaign.

Plus, all family members are free to take one at any time.

Basically, with your own domain and mail server, you are unlimited ... hence my vote. (I forget how many ISP addresses have come and gone in the past)

You have to love flexibilty


EDIT: To answer Fergal's secondary point re webmail, my preference at the mo is for POP3, with copies left on server for 3 days to enable two clients to keep up to date (faux-IMAP, till I can be arsed going full IMAP), but with ANY account, I would insist on webmail. Can you even get an address that doesn't have webmail these days ?

8 i can think of.

Work, my very first Yahoo account, hotmail for MS e-learning, G-mail, free one with ISP (which isn't used) and my *main* account with Fastmail which allows multiple domains pointing to your account - very useful!

I'm confused
are we talking addresses or accounts?

That I use
I have three accounts

Gmail
My Domain
Work

There are numerous ones I don't use (for example MSN hotmail account, dont even check it, its 100% spam)
and of the three I have, they span off into hundreds of actual addresses (used mainly for filtering purposes

gmail has no extra addresses, its pure webmail that I use for most things these days

work has a number of aliases and group aliases

my domain has a shed load of aliases, allowing me to filter anything hitting my inbox
I get push email on my phones from work and my domain
and I have an applet for viewing gmail on the move
