Poll: How many email accounts do you have?

  1. #1

    How many e-mail accounts do you have?

    I have 1 personal email that I never use to sign up for sites with, as I don’t want email unrelated to work. I had extra email accounts for when I used my nickname or identified as a different gender. Overall, I have about 8 email accounts. How many do you have?

    1 business
    1 personal
    1 games
    Used to have another one for school, but obviously don't use it since I'm not in school anymore.

    I have a shitton of forwardering addresses that aren't real inboxes but just go to my main personal account. Have another number that forward to the trash bin, for signing up for stuff or when I'm required to provide an email address for something. There's easily 20+ so I won't count any of those those.

    Likewise for work, I have two email addresses but they both point to the same inbox so counting it as one.

    I have two primary personal addresses: a silly one for casual stuff that I use for most things and one with a more professional sounding name that I use for more serious correspondence.

    Then I have a few email addresses that I check infrequently for specialised purposes or tied to specific things. I don't use them a ton, but I do use them.

    I also still have access to my original AOL address, although I check it like once a year. I've had the address since the early 90s so I will probably not let it go totally, but unsurprisingly I only get spam to it.

    So less than ten for real addresses, and only three (x2 personal and x1 work) that I use frequently and check every day.

    1 Professional
    1 Personal
    1 for when I played WoW (Guild stuff before Discord was a thing)
    1 from when I played City of Heroes/Villains, original incarnation
    1 from when I played Everquest for guild stuff (Officers planning raids, 70+ people with no voice chat, who is in charge of which stuff, etc)
    1 to hold all the shit from the times when you got spammed "Forward this to 10 people or your penis will fall off and explode into glitter murdering kittens" chains every week (I'm old), if you were a person to do that chain shit, you got that email addy.
    4 or so from when I played on Multi User Dungeons, depending on the MUD which one was given.
    and probably a handful used for various things like sign up requirements to download user made maps for Warcraft 3 sites around 2005. Some of those were pretty fucking sweet maps.

    Only 2 one gmail and one hotmail, never use the hotmail as there such a shit ton of spam mails there though I've used that for many many years before now mostly using my gmail.
    Do you hear the voices too?

    About 50 or so. Some were just made for potential use, some for different things, some for games and 2 personal accounts.

    2... I get stressed by the thought of having more than that.

    1 is my primary, the one everyone can contact me at. The other is for my second Battle.net Account. :P
    Both are Gmail.

    4 total.

    1. Personal email - for friends/family type things.

    2. Business email - All my bills and such are directed to this email and this includes things like paypal and amazon. Pretty much money changes hands it goes here. Also what I give to places like work and such to contact me with.

    3. Junk email - whenever a site forces me to sign up or log in to view things or post things it goes here. So all the trash is easily gathered up and deleted afterwards and this email ends up being sold all over the world. It uses a fake name, address, and facts about me so none of it really gets back to me.

    4. Accounts email - this email I use for accounts I am an active user with on the internet. Something like MMO Champion for example. Or facebook and twitter. I know I am apart of it. I like it to be separated from the massive jump pile in junk email but still don't want it in my real emails because its obviously sold and stashed all over the world to the highest bidder too.

    I have 3 but only use 1 and that is my Gmail account. I have 2 other Yahoo accounts that I don't really use anymore. One is my very first email account that I made way back in my teens. Wanted to make a new one with a better name and to get away from all the spam i was getting (didn't know how to unsubscribe from those back then). Then I read about how millions of people's Yahoo accounts were hacked so I almost immediately switched over to Gmail and made a more professional sounding email account so I didn't look like a dumbass to any future employers or memberships.

    I might actually make one more Gmail account as a backup. I need to find a way to delete my Yahoo ones.

    1 Personal (Google, just do things like emailaddress+spam@google.com), etc. Then of course just using filters to trash them, filter other variants to the appropriate folders.
    1 Corporate
