Other / Email and security
« on: January 10, 2013, 12:02:01 pm »
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 
I have quite a few, but for some reason I feel like I never have quite enough
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.
