I have a number of email accounts - 1 hotmail, 1 yahoo, 1 gmail, 1 ISP email and 1 work email. Sometimes my friends don't even know which email address to send emails to!

Yahoo!'s spam filter doesn't meet my standards, and they don't offer POP3/SMTP for free accounts. They know people will continue to sign up with them, because that's the way the Internet works; everyone thinks the names they've heard the most (usually the oldest) are the best. So the people at Yahoo! rest on their laurels, making no effort to compete with Gmail or anyone else.
I have four accounts connected to my desktop e-mail client: AOL x 1, Bluebottle x 1, and Gmail x 2. Gmail has a lot of features, and allows free users to send up to 500 e-mails a day. I use one Gmail account as my primary SMTP (outgoing) address. I use a different reply-to address nowadays, but this Gmail address used to be my primary one. For those who still have it on their mailing lists, and for a few of my subscriptions, I've setup a wildcard filter to automatically forward everything to AOL.
Not everyone knows that AOL offers whitelisting, because it's turned off by default. Well, I turned it on, and manage one of two whitelists there. AOL is my safety net to make sure no one who digs up my Gmail address will be able to reach my inbox. My other whitelist is at Bluebottle, where I let senders verify themselves unless I'm expecting them.
Bluebottle's C/R filter is extremely convenient, but alas, they only allow 100 outgoing messages a day for free users (even if you forward a chain letter, each address counts as another message). Since I wouldn't use Bluebottle for SMTP, and since I already had AOL for an incoming address, I had to have a way to keep the account open when it wasn't being accessed via e-mail client nor Web login for months at a time. In addition, I didn't want to have to login to AOL every time a new sender was authorized by Bluebottle.
So, I have a second Gmail account that automatically fetches mail from AOL and Bluebottle. This is my POP3 (incoming) account, from which I download all my messages. This account is completely undercover; no one but me will ever see the address. I also manage a custom blacklist here.
Kind of complicated, isn't it? I've been in IT for too long. As it were, I still have my old Yahoo! address, but I don't use it for personal e-mail anymore. It gets almost 50 spam messages a day in the inbox, and a few hundred more in bulk. I login every couple of days, and forward every single phishing e-mail to the SEC with full headers. This is my contribution to the war on phishing fraud.

A whole bunch that I don't even use - I kept using one for a while, but not too long ago, I decided on abandoning it and going for a fresh, new one given that I had literally nearly 6000 unread e-mails (that just shows my enthusiasm towards e-mailing). Hopefully, this time around, I can actually bother myself in doing just that.
