How many webmail accounts do you have ? - Page 6

trew · 15 Mar 2005, 05:19 PM

Why oh why. Hmm Maybe it is about our personalities. I ahve many shortwave Radios too. Many Watches. Many MiniDisc recorder players. Have had many Cassette recorders.

I guess it is a personality thingy. Only my wild guess.

ok I have at least three ISP here. Telia.com Glocalnet.net and Spray.se adn a lot of those I abandoned years ago.

Each of them allow 5 email addys.

then hotmail and yahoo and all the rest of the biggies like gmail lycos ... So it is a habit I have maybe?

like now when they suggest inmail24.com which look like they try to compete with vfemail.net both have strong antivirus and both have 15meg with pop3 and soo on. They try to find a niche and be best within that one I guess.

So out of habit I feel for signing up. Is it embarrassing maybe? I'm hooked on email then?
Happy it is not stronger things like coffee

But I do see it from your perspective too. I plan to go down to 7 and then 5 and end with only three.

I doupt that will last for long though.

1 @yandex.ru
On my other email account is forwarded to my main email to yandex.ru
2) @list.ru (mail.ru)
3) @internet.beeline.ru (old email address of the former provider)
4) @ufanet.ru (same provider)
5) @qip.ru
6) @mtsmail.ru in hotmail.com (email from mobile services and Internet)
7) @63.ru (my regional city portal)
8) @email.su (nextmail.ru) registered for the free beautiful name the same as my
everywhere there are forwarding to my yandex mail.

@yahoo.com plant in 2008, but almost no use
@mbox.dial.bashnet.ru (very old address provider)
@rambler.ru abandoned old address
@chat.ru also abandoned

I want to move in the near future all the accounts and contacts with other addresses to yandex.ru and eliminate all unnecessary and unwanted addresses.

att.net gmx.net web.de aol, arcor.de, etc. - after a block of accounts with Russian users ...

In the last 15 years. Easily over 100. I just love trying new ones. Though I always delete them after done.

drew · 21 Nov 2012, 02:27 AM

I trust I had 22 accounts but many on same provider so
maybe not that many different providers.

Lavabit Now I mainly use Lavabit for forums but that is not reliable
the software on some forums don't manage to end up
on the Lavabit inbox. and that makes the owners of the
forum suspicious of who I am me failing to answer their
activation email so very annoying. I wish me could use
another email provider instead.

Gmail For my Androd phone I have one Gmail account.
I deleted some 5 such or so and now have only one Gmail.

Yahoo I have one account for the many yahoo groups I have.
Hotmail I have one account for to have as reserve for the forum
that does not get through.

MyOpera com Then I have MyOpera com for the Opera community.
Fastmail I have one old Operamail and one Fastmail Guest account.

Then EUMX a gift account more as a way to be able to
share views here in EMD when such questions comes up.

GMX.com but that one I may lose out of inactivity
and some 10 more that I also may lose due to inactivity.

I really want to come down to just two or three providers.

jeffpan · 21 Nov 2012, 10:16 AM

I now have these ones:

Gmail: the main one, my lastname.firstname as username.
GMX.net: for mailing lists and forums
Tuffmail: my business domain mail
Yandex.ru: my blog domain was hosted there, for some public communications
iCloud: my macbook pro has enabled a apple mail for me, fetching mails using .Mail client

There are a lot of other accounts, but don't use them, just login sometime to keep the accounts alive.

Cory · 21 Nov 2012, 12:58 PM

I honestly can not remember how many webmail accounts I have used over the years its been so many.

However now I just have two that I use on a regular basis. My personal domain email (currently on Google Apps Standard) and then my university email (on Google Apps Education).

Csin · 1 Dec 2012, 09:16 AM

I have ten accounts. Some longterm, some I'm testdriving.
Longterm:
Bluebottle (paid)
Vfemail (paid)
Safe-mail
Yahoo
Lavabit
Amplimail

Testdrives:
Luckymail
Animail
Live
Mail2world

Yipple, Inbox, and Luxmail dumped me for (apparently) not checking in enough, but then if I wanted to engage in constant handholding, I'd have a Hushmail account, so good riddance!

ccl1 · 1 Dec 2012, 11:24 AM

i have 6 but have tried out a bunch more. most i didnt bother to keep or remember after a few minutes of testing. the ones i log into regularly are

1 gmail. for friends
1 hotmail. for personal business/cc/ bank account etc.
1 yahoo for spam/ when forced to register something with an email address

a few others like outlook.com i signed up for just to 'park' my desired user name, just in case i ever want to switch over to it.

ravan · 14 Dec 2012, 07:40 PM

I have 35 Gmail.com , 20 yahoo.com and 4 email.biz .

curvefan · 14 Dec 2012, 10:32 PM

Like most of you, I have way too many.

Do we really need more than a few? Very doubtful.

Is it an addiction, or are we simply collectors and testers of email accounts? Or do we simply have way too much time on our hands?

I'm probably guilty of the latter.

I'm trying to dump a lot of needless accounts but it's just so dang hard. Like losing an old friend.

Well, maybe not an old friend but at least an acquaintance

Snoopy · 20 Jan 2013, 04:15 PM

Oh my God, guys!

I have like two.

jdtaylor · 21 Jan 2013, 01:53 AM

I've got at least 4-5, three at my own domains and one at yahoo, one at another provider basically spam collecting as it gets hit too much for anything else, an account at Eumx, I think my account at lavabit is dead although I do check it occasionally and my mochamail address is still working from years back last time I looked.

Just you wait.

They start to grow on you and then you're posting on here about all your various email accounts and soon you're hooked.

Just like the rest of us..................

Agreed. if you don't want to get hooked on trying new email services, whatever you do stay far away from this site.

As for how many webmail accounts I have, very rarely logging into most of them, and not bothering keeping written records for most of them for I don't know how long, I long ago lost count.

Webgenie · 21 Jan 2013, 08:28 AM

Apparently, it is way too much fun to get new e-mail accounts, because I just keep on collecting them. Then again, I am easily amused
