Hey guys, I was just reading some cool articles on why one should have multiple email addresses, etc. etc. I was wondering what you guys have to say on the topic ;D
I have quite a few, but for some reason I feel like I never have quite enough D: Am I being too paranoid?
I have one for personal and calc stuff
I have one for spam-personal things like those sketchy scholarship websites
I have one for super secure personal things like banking
I have one for signing up for things on the internet
I have one for super-anonymously signing on to things on the internet
I have one for pretending to be someone else (never really use this one for anything, made it when I was into spambaiting for a while)
I have one just for my musical project, which is also never used that much and only linked to soundcloud
I have one from school which is mainly used for business and stuff.
That's 8 total :O
I think my music and personal could be merged without a problem, but whenever I sign up for certain things I'm never really sure which account to use. Like, for things like buying travel insurance. That's something that should be pretty secure, but it's pretty temporary so it's not like it should go into the same email as banking. But it doesn't feel quite right sending it into the regular personal email.
What do you guys think? I think I may have to get a 9th email account; for semi-important personal and probably also for long-term business contacts, etc.

I have one for everything. Gmail has a good spam filter, so it makes it easy to use one for everything outright.
That, and it makes it easier to remember you have an email address :o

I only have 4, and that's more than enough. The more email addresses, the harder it gets to find you wau through them. Now I just have one for school, one for official stuff, and two for other random crap :)

This subject has already been somewhat addressed here: http://ourl.ca/17696/327172
Maybe it will it provide some more insight/answers. ;)

I use my Gmail for outright everything, I have another for my brony blog so people can submit stuff to it and a few Google Apps I never use because I use my Gmail for everything. Might setup some emails to redirect to my principal gmail tho, like a @juju2143.ca email to increase my level of awesome.

I have five or six.
One for personal(its the one my parents and scouts know)
One that was originally for school, but is now linked to my phones and google+(gmail)
One that I use for facebook and giveaways(gmail)
One I use for anonymous online(Its my omni email for example. My other ones have part of my name in it so I'd rather not use them)(gmail)
One that was given to me by school(Its a google apps account I use it purely for school and communicating with others in school since its preloaded with the emails of everyone else)
One for a club I run in school(gmail I barely touch it)

I don't know how many I have. When I'm bored I sometimes created @sorunome.de email adresses for fun, lol
Oh, and some are usefull, like mafiabot (at) sorunome (dot) de being the email adress mafiabot uses.

I use one gmail for everything.
But sometimes if it's some random site that i probably wont visit much, I'll just give it an old spammed email that I never use anymore.
