I have three that I use fairly regularly (a personal one, a school one, and a work one), and several others that I use occasionally. I have a spam one that I use for survey-related sites, a gaming one (that I don't think I've actually used for that much gaming stuff, but oh well), a couple of other random gmail addresses for various things, and two AOL accounts, one that was my main one in late middle school through high school and one that was my original email address from elementary school.

At this point, the school one forwards to the personal one, and I rarely check the work one outside of work, so I only have one account that I keep up and check all the time.

Well this copped a rather secretive sub-forum move! Haha, I thought about posting it in Technology & Internet, but seeing as how it was a more general question I thought I'd just post away in General. My bad!

I went away but now I'm back again! ^_^

....oh god, I have a lot. XD;; I have my full name @yahoo.com and @gmail.com as well as a personal email that I use to sign up for forums and the like. Also have several other random emails that I made for.. reasons I'm not too sure of at this point. But it's always nice to have a backup email when I don't want to send a lost password from one site onto whatever email I signed up with originally. :(

It's fine. Just keep in mind that General Chat is only for topics that really don't fit in any other section. Even if it involved technology in the slightest way, it should be posted here. :)

I have three email accounts.
One of them is a very old account that was registered using my online handle, this is the adress I use to register on pretty much everything that doesn't have much real-life importance. This is also the address that gets all the spam because of that :).
The second one was registered using my first name and last name, and is used for more important stuff. This was also the address that I used when I was in college.
The third one is my work email address.

PM before adding. If you don't mention which code you added, I will NOT add you back.

I have around 3 emails, even though one of them was assigned for my dad to use.

I have a ton of account that I was forced to make to continue using certain services (like I think I made my gmail account because I had to do that to keep using my Youtube account. Also using Chrome on certain devices require you to sign in with gmail), but I really only use two. Three, if you count my university email, but I forward that to my live.com email.

I use my live.com the most, but I have an old hotmail account that I've had since my MSN days - a lot of my contacts from elementary and high school are on it, so I just merged it with my Skype account and continued using it for messenger.

Three email accounts. One for personal, one for PC, and one for school. The PC one is where I get the PM and Friendship notifications, so that way when I'm on the go and away from PC, I'll know ahead of time that there's a PM and/or a friendship request waiting for me.

I chiefly use three; one personal, one for forums and a student e-mail. I have made dozens of 'throwaway' type e-mails though, for signing up on different websites.

I have a lot. I only really use three though. One gmail account which is linked to my school, another personal gmail account which I've been using a lot recently, and a personal yahoo one which I've been using less lately. I need to stop making email addresses.

3 email accounts (iCloud, 2 gmail), 2 regularly used. One as backup.

The iCloud one is more for work/school stuff, Gmail more for personal stuff like online purchases (Amazon, Sephora etc.). The second Gmail account was created primarily because I wanted a Japanese Apple ID, but I figured that it could be used as a backup in case something terrible happened.

First e-mail address I've ever had was with Yahoo. Yahoo used to be my homepage back around in 2008 or so, and would find myself using the site for pretty much anything, whether it be to do some web-search, read news, look for television schedule, or anything else you could possibly think of, so I've decided to sign-up and create an e-mail account as well, so that I'd be able to check on everything from one, convenient place. It was pretty satisfying, actually! Though, eventually, I've started receiving lots of spam messages, which was quite frustrating as they tended to hide more important stuff under their pile. This caused me to look for other services, and wound up with Gmail.

Gmail's amazing, really; it's simple and to-the-point, and their filters seem to work wonderfully without any sort of hesitation. Have created my Gmail profile about five years ago back in 2009, and haven't looked back ever since. Eventually, they've started incorporating more services, linking YouTube accounts, logging into other sites with Gmail account, and much, much more, all of which were very satisfying (well, at least in my eyes).

Along with above, I also have an Outlook address. I've made this one initially so that I would be log into Windows Live Messenger so that I'd be able to chat with friends and whatnot (back then, it seemed to be quite popular), but now that it no longer exists, I mainly use it for Skype. Have never used this one for mails, though, haha.

First email was my AOL email waaaaaaaaaay back in the day. I have several nowadays, but the only ones I really keep up with are my personal & school emails, both of which are on Gmail. I have an AOL email I use for job applications, but I haven't used it in a while since I haven't applied for any jobs lately.

Five. Main (gmail), aol (throwback, throaway), CIX/CSI (school), yahoo (mostly fantasy sports), and hotmail (throwaway).
My old school's email probably expired by now, and my older AOL email is no longer used, though I can check it and get amazed at the mountains of spam.
