I suspect that many, if not most of us have multiple email addresses. Just added mine up and discovered I have seven, which puts me in some sort of pathetic loserdom. But it's late, I'm bored, and my girlfriend is on the phone with her friend who lives in Salt Lake City so I won't be going to bed anytime soon, which means I'll be making dumb threads like this one.

Take the poll.

I only have 3.

My College account, my personal account, and my spam account.

hotmail and gmail.

Just the hotmail, I don't know what I'd do with a second e-mail address.

four, I think. the hotmail, the personal, the university, and the yahoo.

By the way, should anyone need or want a gmail account, just drop me a tg. I have 300 to give away.

I have more then I can count. The only one's I check often, though, are my personal Hotmail account and rotovia@rotovia.com (mailto:rotovia@rotovia.com). Yes, I'm that pretentious I bought my nations domain name and use it for email...

4

Three. University/personal, business, and old/spam account.

I think I only have 4 that are currently active....

I use two regularly but always keep a couple of "throwaways" in the wings for those times when an e-mail address is needed to access sites but I don't want to be bothered or want my identity known.

2 technically, 1 that I use. I have my university email and my gmail. I forward my University to my Gmail. So I only voted 1.

gmail,yahoo,ISP

1 hotmail address that actually I use, 1 uni address and 4 yahoo ones that I created back in the dark, grim days when Amazon limited wishlists to 1000 items each. Those were horrible times :(

Something else--I have seven email accounts, but they're all web-based--even my job email (which is a university account). I haven't used a system like Outlook or Eudora for about six years now.

I just created another one last night, making 4 in total.

Could be hundreds .... I'm wondering if my old @world.std.com or @nxoc01.cern.ch addresses still get mail ....

Ok ok ok ... that was hyperbole ... but I have more email addresses that I've abandoned/forgotten than the web has websites.

lol, the same could be said about me, i got soo many hotmail,gmail,yahoo email addresses because i keep making new ones since the old ones start to sound a little korny, right now i only use my gmail and sometimes check up on my hotmail acc.

Yep ... me too. I have finally managed to whittle it all down to my one gmail account. Hooray!

Oh yeah, the one from college. Though the only time I've used it was when I had to mail a big ass file because there is no limit on it. As it is I think it's hijacked by spammers, however that works, but every once in a while I get a failed delivery notice from the ucsc account (which is forward to my hotmail) from something I never sent...

It's always nice to know that you're being used as a pawn for those deranged undergrad engineers' plans for wold domination, if only by the surender of your email bandwidth.

Let's see here....

I have 4 gmail's....
5 hotmail's
2 yahoo's
1 school
and 3 other's at very unknown servers...

so I have 15.

Like the Tootsie Pop owl says: "One, two, three. Three."
That would be my university address, my personal address I had before coming to university, and my hotmail account that i created for some strange reason (I believe it was due to MSN Messenger, but it was a few years ago so I can't remember).

Five.

University (student), university (faculty), university (political science department)... all of which just get forwarded to gmail. Then there's an old yahoo account that I use very rarely when for some reason I want to sign up or register for something, but I don't want to deal with them sending me email... It just gets dumped into that account that I don't use.

Just two...my personal hotmail, and my college e-mail.

2. University and personal.
The university one is lucky if it gets checked every couple weeks, so I mostly just have to hope that nothing important gets sent to that account. :P

Well, I suppose I've had a bit too much of the vodka/cranberry juice tonight. When I read the poll, I assumed it meant "how many email addresses do i have to SEND to others?" I felt really, really stupid and uneducated when i figured out what the poll meant. Oh, well. I have maybe 4,800,565.400 email addresses in the vodka world. In the sober world, I only have one. That one is with AOL at the moment, but I keep getting nasty pop-ups when I sign on saying "we need ur updated info." If you present the poll next week, I will probably have NO AOL email address hehe. (depends on how patient aol is) Then, I will have a hotmail or yahoo address. Hey, it's Chistmas-time and money is short!!! So..I guess my answer is one. Peace out.................................................................................JaNut

It varies depending on whatever hotmail or yahoo accounts I have set up.

Currently 4 - cell phone, long term regular yahoo account for general stuff, gmail account for personal stuff, and yahoo account for games like this.

I had five before but now I'm down to three: one personal, one for online shopping and accounts (which inevitably gets loads of spam), and one at the University where I work.

Yeah I had bunches and oodles and gobs for a while there. When I played MMOs online I had an email account for each character :P Now I'm down to the one gmail account, but I think if I tried I could probably remember some of the old ones and go read 6 bazillion pieces of random yahoo spam.

Since I'm in a minority here I have to ask this question-

Why in the heck do you guys have so many e-mail addresses? I am so lost that I can't even elaborate on the question...

I've had lots, but I only use one anymore.

14 that I use regularly or semi-regularly (about once a month for my least active). Mixture of Hotmail, Yahoo and Gmail. Not AOL.

ISP account....two hotmails....one yahoo....and my student account. 5.

hotmail, gmail, uni (ahahaha like i ever check that), my UDCP.org addy, and numerous work addresses.

i voted 2 to 3 but thats cos i'm retarded

LOL, I did the same thing...and then I realised I actually have more....d'oh!

Well, in my case it's because I use them for different purposes. One of them is a dumping ground for spam, a place I use to sign up for newspaper access and the like. One is a university faculty account, but that gets forwarded to a gmail account that only deals with the university stuff, mainly because my off campus access to the university server is tenuous at times. One is my original gmail account. One is a storage account for the stuff that used to be in my Stanford account. One of them came with my personal website, and one is an old yahoo account that I've just never gotten rid of.

3. University, and two hotmail, one of which is personal, the other for 'business' - internet shopping etc.

None. I send all messages through unwitting mindslaves.

Let's see... I have more than 16,000 for my various NS nations—I use different addresses and IPs for all of them to avoid being caught UN multiing, not like it matters since I anyway control all of the moderators and administrators—and then several billion more, one for each universe. However, they all check themselves and forward all useful mail to the one account I myself check regularly, so I don't have to waste my time reading stupid things like spam or complaints...

I have over a dozen, most of which are used for my covert e-ops. :sniper:

yahoo is what i use to sign up for stuff. basically a spam recieving account.
university email
ISP email (never use)
Gmail
hotmail
mail.com (never use)

hmm... thats 6

I have 4 gmail, 2 hotmail, 2 yahoo, 2 freeserve ones, a new wanadoo one, a battlefieldhq.com one, a greenday live one, a jcxp one. that is 14... and i have others that just got deactivated, great for spam...

I've had a total of 5 in my life, of which I currently use two, and I'm considering giving yahoo a couple £'s a year so I can merge the two accounts so I can send and receive for the two accounts from the same website. That'd be cool. All nice and colour coded. Each redirected into specific inboxes.

Current: Yahoo (actively had this one for around 5 years) , university
Previous: First email address - btinternet (got the yahoo one because this deid of spam for a bit, then forgot the password as I received all the bt stuff via the yahoo one, then finally by dad got a new ISP), previous university, and gmail.

And that was far too much infomation. Meh.

3 = Yahoo (main), hotmail (just for emergencies) and gmail (cos i got an invite and felt it rude not to accept)
