I have 7. 2 I check frequently, both Yahoo. One is for professional-ish stuff the other is personal. I have had the personal one for a whopping 10+ years. (basically since I was a teenager at the beginning of the internet boom) We moved a lot when I was a kid, so I’ve maintained that one in case someone wanted to try and contact me. 4 are various work addresses, 3 old jobs, 1 of which I quit 3 years ago, and for some reason still have access to the account. And 1 final defunct (I’m sure) hotmail account. I have yet to get a gmail account, despite the fact that everyone else in the world has one. I really like my original yahoo account, I mean it is a chronicle of my life for the past decade. Quite interesting actually.

I have 4… One for work, Yahoo for groups and info storage, Hotmail (oldest) that gets checked most often, and a more professionally named Hotmail account for job and school applications.

Two. Just two. One work, one personal. Why would anyone need more? I guess I could have alumni accounts from the 3 universities from which I graduated, or get some private ones, but again I ask: Why?

I have 8. An alumni account, current school account, hotmail account for professional correspondance, hotmail account for friends and family, hotmail account for ebay transactions, and a hotmail account for all other e-shopping mailing lists, etc. I also have a gmail account and a yahoo account that I’m not using at present.

I agree with Julie. I’ve had the Hotmail account since long before Microshaft gobbled it up, and kept it watered throughout the spam years. Now, it’s my main ‘web’ email, and gets little spam (Bill Gates has a way of doing something right, occasionally!)

Then, the Corporate email, and the personal email, both of which lack the anonymity the Web sometimes requires.

When I first got on the net I had one, which somehow turned into three, and I’ve had three ever since, although if you added together all the ones I’ve had over the years it’s probably something ridiculous. Like maybe 18. See, I fade out about two a year; the high turnover rate is due primarily to the INSANE amounts of spam the internet likes to hurl at me.
