How many email accounts do you have?

I thought this would be an interesting question to ask on a message board devoted to email.

-So how many email addresses do you have?
6

-Do you use them all?
Nope, I use 4 and the other 2 are Fastmail accounts I registered just today.

-Who has the most accounts here?
I'm sure it's not me!

35 + a few more, and several that have been cancelled

No, I don't use them all. It's nice to have several backup accounts just in case.

And even with all of those, I still don't have Michael@something.something I've got several ideas for a personal domain name, I just don't know which one to choose. A couple that I really liked are not available.

Well, as new members come on board, it is inevitable I guess.

Yeah. Myownemail.com has 1netdrive.com. I could just put my own number and make it @myhousenumbernetdrive.us. Me at xxxname + drive sounds cool, but I'd have to change it if I moved.

A lot more that I had a month ago.

Over the last month I have signed up for a whole bunch of new services, many from yuvaraj's thread "links to some of my favorites".

And I definitely don't use them all. The new ones are currently waiting in the wings. So are most of the old ones.


Ironically, one address that I use a fair bit is @postmark.net because I changed my msn passort/messenger id (again) and I had a firstnamelastname account with postmark.net.

Too many...

Maybe 7 or 8 that I try to keep alive and as many that just don't seem to get deleted even if I only log in when I'm bored out of my mind, and then my uni and ISP account.

How many I actually use? 2 or 3, mainly my FastMail account, and then I sometimes use my ancient and spam ridden Yahoo account. I also do some forwarding through my uni account when I want to seem serious :-)
