    How many email addresses do you lot have now? I have about five - thanks to Google, MS live, and the fact that I kept forgetting my "throwaway" account details. But now, the wife wants to check a cat food offer, which wants a sign up. OK, lets see... Yep, have a new email dear: "Dontsendmeanycrap******@******.com" is available - that will do nicely... So off she goes, she now has two as well! Oh, bugger, I forgot three for the web site - make that about eight...

    Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.

    As many as I want. I create them on the fly under my domain. Each questionable sign-up gets it's own e-mail, so I can see where SPAM is coming from. TAXCUT sends Chico's e-mail! :doh:

      I created a spammail-website for this thing, in swedish. It's free and available to anyone if you want to try it - http://storastyggainternet.se. If you don't know swedish and want to try it, just send an email to <whateveryouwant>@storastyggainternet.se and get it at http://storastyggainternet.se/<whateveryouwant>. So now I have 2 "static" email, work and private, and 1 legacy(msn/msdn/live account). Works out fine. // Eric

        3. Work. Gmail (primary) Hotmail (for any junk)

            I have about : 3 yahoo (2 probably auto closed by now, 1 I keep for spam and old accounts I don't want to switch to my new address) 1 own domain 1 gmail (With several + filters for nearly everything. I use the YourAddress+Whateveryouwant@gmail.com type addresses very frequently.) 1 ISP (Not used. Ever.) I use the gmail one as my main for personal stuff and the domain address for professional/business (non-day to day job) type stuff and the old yahoo one is kept for legacy accounts that I can't switch over and for accounts I don't want to clutter my gmail with. Using the + filters help significantly with spam. For your cat-food example, you could use YourAddress+catfood@gmail.com and once you receive the emails you need, or start receiving spam, just set a filter to send the emails sent to that address to spam. Of course, not everyone sees email addresses with a + as valid. For those I use the old yahoo "spam" account.

              Only two – one yahoo which I rarely use and one gmail, which from some time is not exactly “mine” because my wife is using it too.

              personal, Work, (and like 5 or 6 others that I never use) :laugh:

              I'd blame it on the Brain farts.. But let's be honest, it really is more like a Methane factory between my ears some days then it is anything else...

                Exactly! I love being able to see how shady a small group is. Plus when the spam comes flying in I can shut the email down or forward it all to the "investor relations" dept. of the offending party.

                  Actually I only have about three now: two are all but unused and I'm planning on deleting them, and the third is Gmail. I've always felt nervous about this kind of account proliferation enticed by Internet services, so I take steps to prevent them. I try to never have more than one service of a given kind; get as many services as possible from the same provider; and discontinue unused accounts. And now you know why I dumped Yahoo! and am currently a Google whore. ^_^!
