    Hi Bees! I was just logging into my Outlook work email remotely from home and it got me wondering... how many email addresses do you have? How many have you had in total? 

    Have had: 

    AOL (back in the dark ages) - 2

    Undergrad - 1

    Grad school - 1

    Gmail/Maiden - 1

    Gmail/Married - 1 

    Gmail/Joint (set up for our wedding website)- 1 

    Work - 1

    Total: 8! 

     

    Today: 

    Gmail/Married is my main one and the Maiden/Joint ones still dump their contents into that one. I will be checking my grad school one for a few more months then it will be done. And I have the work one still. So... I log into 3 accounts to check 5 addresses. 

     

    How about you?

    I had a hotmail account forever ago. Then I had one that was an sbcglobal address that I'm pretty sure converted over to yahoo. I had an email for my university. I had an email account for my old job and I have one now for my current job. I have a gmail account now under my maiden name but FI and I will be combining to a joint one when we get married. So it'll come to a total of 7 or 8!

    I guess I have 4 right now.  2 are personal (one with my old name, one with my new) and 2 for business - one for my personal business, and one for my full time job.

    I have one work email.

    I have one personal yahoo account that is at least 10 years old.  I don't want to part with it because I've had it forever, but it's out of control with spam.

    Me and the DH have a joint email (gmail)

    Oh, I have another one with my grad school but it gets forwarded to my yahoo account.

    Total: 3 I check regularly, 4 email addresses in total.

    I have others that I use when I need win a contest and only can use my email account once. :)

    Oh, I've had a lot of email accounts that I no longer use.

    My current employer with my maiden name.

    My old employer email

    My undergrad

    An account I used when I was 14

    An account when I tried out the .mac accounts

    I had one when I was a teenager that was stupid. Then I made my current att one (it was bellsouth at the time, but switched over when they switched) and my college one. I also have a "spam" one that I check like once a month. I guess I'll have to make a new "regular" one once we are married though because my current one is my initials. Lol

    One school account that I no longer use.

    And my gmail account. It's my primary email. And by primary I mean it's the only one I use.

    I've had about 3 personal e-mails and two college e-mails. I only use one now. Two personal ones were from middle school and high school. One college e-mail has expired. But my grad school e-mail works now, nobody knows that address but the school... I just forward it to my personal e-mail.

    EDIT: I use gmail! LOVE it :)

    1 started after losing password to 1st account (hotmail)

    1 started mid-way through highschool due to account de-activation(hotmail)

    1 started at the end of highschool due to spam (hotmail)

    1 created again due to spam/hacks

    I have made 3 gmail accounts for online stuff, blogs etc.

    I also have a yahoo account that I use for personal stuff (not digging it lately & will prob stick with gmail from here on out).

    Wow, I feel lame. I've only ever had one (gmail). But to be fair, I'm not in college; my job doesn't use email; I'm not married yet; and I didn't have access to any computer until I turned 18, moved out, and bought my own.

    I have a grand total of 3. I had an AOL account back in the day (high school) that was never used. I think my mother opened it for me to do college stuff.

    I have a Yahoo account, but I haven't checked it in months. It's basically just linked to my facebook.

    The two I use now are both Gmail. One is for friends and shopping, Paypal, gem buying. The other is for work stuff, job hunting, registering for websites I want to keep in contact with without wading through coupons and spam. Basically social networking.

    I've had around 4 personal hotmail accounts I created in highschool, 1 hotmail account with my name, 1 reserved with my future married name, 2 yahoo accounts, and 1 gmail account. I stopped using all those accounts when I got an email account with my university. I only use them when I have to register for sites and I don't want the annoying spam to be sent to my main school email (:
