    Bit of a random question, but I'm curious (and nosey).

    How many email addresses do you have?

    I've just worked out that I've got 8:

    An O2 one
    A Gmail one (got because of the 2.8GB storage)
    An old work one
    An old business one
    An old personal one
    One for my charity work
    A main one currently for work
    One for main personal email and the odd business email

    Is this unusual?

    Two, one for college and a gmail account for personal use.

    Also have a few floating about that I never have/will use such as Vodafone, Oceanfree etc.

    I know friends who have more than you OP, and maybe use 5 or 6 on a daily basis.

    Three

    One old hotmail (abandoned, now just used for signups)
    One gmail (current)
    One technically yahoo one that I got automatically

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Four.

    Gmail [main a/c, great for Chat]
    Yahoo [the new interface is great]
    Hotmail [piece of crap a/c, only used for MSN Messenger, most spammed a/c too]
    UCC College webmail [just for receiving college announcements, I send college email with Gmail]

    Seems like POP3 email accounts aren't being used as much anymore...

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,061 ✭✭✭✭Terry


    Hotmail for msnm and messages from this place,
    Gmail for personal use,
    and yahoo for spam.

    The hotmail and gmail both have the same name, but the yahoo one is completely made up and sometimes i forget it.
    Still great for spam though.

    a college one


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,698 ✭✭✭InFront


    College email, and then I have two hotmails but only for MSN.
    One MSN for people I always want to talk to, the other is for people I only talk to now and then. The 'always' people are on both.

    Don't send many emails except for college. Does anyone, anymore? With Facebook. bebo/ myspace/ texting why bother?

    Why the two hotmail accounts?
    Ever heard of blocking peple?
    It's great if you don't want to talk to someone.
    Not that I'd ever do that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,969 ✭✭✭christophicus


    Gmail - personal
    Yahoo - sign ups
    Vodafone - free web text contact list.

    I never used my college ones because I already have enough. And all I used to receive on them was spam.

    gmail x 2
    work x 2
    yahoo
    hotmail
    eircom x 2
    + about 10 different aliases on my own domain for different things


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 799 ✭✭✭Schlemm


    I have about a million, but for some reason the eircom email account I've had for years has recently been filling up with other people's emails...very odd. I'm getting all sorts of personal info about this person who has the same first name as me - morgages, property, car insurance, bank details, tesco online shopping, personal stuff, lesbian porn subscriptions, secret admirer emails, Peugeot, Dell, Meteor, and so forth. Now I've returned most of these to the companies but they ignore the fact that I've sent them back and that they went to the wrong person, but they just keep sending me stuff! So you'd better watch out about what you send out on the internet!:eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,894 ✭✭✭✭phantom_lord

    ha I must be the only one on the planet that doesn't have a gmail account.

    4, I think, all old busted ones from ISPs like IOL or mobile companies like o2.
    They all get used for sign ups and personal and are all swamped with spam but I can't be arsed with new ones and it's so hard to find names like my handle without having to add numbers or underscores.
