Do you have too much email addresses ?

Do you have too much email addresses ???

I have 12 - 15 or so...

but he problem is if you decide to make a new email address maybe because you've changed you name ( to get married ) or if you've gotten a new nick name...you can't 'delete' you old email address ...

So if somebody else wants that name it's taken > <

You can always email the webmaster and ask if the name you want is still in use or if it has been inactive for a long time. They can always unlock it so you can have it...

You know I used to have sooooooo many addresses I couldn't keep track. Then I found Fastmail.FM and am so happy with it I don't keep up a bunch of addresses anymore. I do check out some new ones from time to time, and have a few for email groups or spam purposes, but that's it.

Most of the time there is a support or contact address given on the site.
Which emailprovider do you want to email??

If you don't know the address, just email webmaster and cc to support, contact, and abuse. 99% of the time there is someone at these addresses...

I have almost 8 but when some of them got bombed by spam heavily or the service standard downgraded I stopped using them. I am sticking to my ISP email with a forwarded email address for important mails.

Hey,
I have hundreds of free email accounts
but I use only a few..
I sign up for new email services that I come across to see how well they work and compare with the other services which I know. When I find a better service, I will start using that new service. I am well-known among my friends for changing my email id often..

I have an infinity

Well, almost...they are my fastmail subdomain addresses.

And another infinity of my fastmail alias subdomain addresses.

And another infinity of my spamgourmet addresses.

And few dozens of sneakemail addresses.

And a few deserted webmail addresses.

And one forwarding address that I'd like to keep but started receiving spam regularly (a spam a day takes your email address away)

I think many people here have hundreds of email accounts like me. I think most of the members here would like to keep experimenting with the new email services that they come across even though they may not use them regularly..

It's an addiction!!!

We need an emails anonymous organization.

I have 28 separate email addresses, not including one with my ISP. Actually, with my ISP I can have 10 more.
