I don't link mine considering that I really only use my GMail. My Windows Live One is only for WLM nowadays.

I don't even know how to link email's together, but I do know how to do it for AIM accounts. But if I did know how to do it I probably wouldn't do it since I'll get confused and to me its pointless

Primarily I own 7 email addresses, and they're all linked into my email network.

I have one master address, which is what I consider my 'Hub' email address. Mail from my domain (@pokemontrainercave.org)x1 and my ISP email (@clearwire.net), and PC email (@pokecommunity.com) is forwarded to my hub account, which is a free Gmail account (@gmail.com).

I also own 3 live (WLM) addresses 1 @hotmail.com and 1 at my own domain, as a private alternate, as well as a WLM account for my gmail account.

It's all quite useful. I can give people any one of 7 email addresses. I don't have much spam problems, since I can can give shady sites or people an alternate address which would cause all spam to be blocked. It's especially useful for screening email. I've used it on several occasions to avoid extra mail traffic.

One of the addresses at my own domain is a dedicated 'Spam Trap'. If I have reason to believe that some site will share my email address with unwanted spammers, I will use the spamtrap address to sign up, which is forwarded through one additional account at pokemontrainercave before being directed to the hub.

Despite all that work, I still get about 10-20 legitimate emails per day and about 50 spam e-mails directly mailed to my hub a day. 2% of that lands in my inbox, but always gets marked as spam and deleted. I'm always creating filters to prune, label, classify and sort incoming mail accordingly, and everything is well sorted so I can find it. The rest of the spam gets marked as such and lands in my spam box. I check both my inbox and spam box daily and empty the spam box, sometimes as soon as a piece of spam arrives I notice it and delete it from my spam box.
