I'm pretty sure most people don't sort out stuff in their email inbox. Most people here have joined MyLot for earning money. So its obvious that they would have tried other methods of earning online which results in a lot of spam. Im a poor victim too. It seems impossible to stop these damn things and very few know how to effectively use mail filters. So what I have done is that I have 2 Email IDs; One for the stuff I do online and the other for REAL stuff! That way, its easier to find mails that matter to me and also its easy to organize.
Im sure most of you have 2 or more Ids. Is it for the same reason as me? Lucky ones who have just one ID gets a prize :) lol

Let's see....
Yahoo Mail: (2)
Roxette Mail: (1)*
Gmail: (1)
Juno Mail: (1)**
Hotmail: (1)***
PeoplePC: (1)****
AOL Mail: (1)*****
I only use (*) for contests/sweepstakes because they usually ask for email. I have (**) because I have a Free Juno account & I only use it for junk mail. I have (***) because I have a hotmail account and usually don't even check it, perhaps once a month or so. I have (****) because I have my internet through them & I don't even use it---so I only check it when they send me email about my invoice and such. And I have (*****) because I have AIM & they set you up with an email account. I don't even use it & I don't plan on using it. If I get one more free email account I'm going to scream!

Oh man, I got so much email ID's and the weird thing is I know every single one of them. I have one for hotmail, gmail, aol, .mac, yahoo and so much more! The only reason I have these emails is that sometimes when I'm signing up with other websites, I kind of don't trust them when it comes with spam. So just to be on the safe side, I keep many emails for spam purposes only.

yes.. i have more than 5 email id. more than three for online earning purposes. And some mail ids for personal purposes. we have to maintain different mail id for different purposes. so we can avoid the confusion. many online earning site can turn in to scam sites and the possibility of spam is high.

i do GPT sites like treasure trooper and companies wont pay you if they see the same email appearing over and over again. So i dont use all of those email addresses more than once. It is kind of annoying but it is worth it because i have a high offer approval rate. Thats the only reason why i have so many accounts.

Yah same as you do. I have 3 email addresses currently. 1 for the more formal and important stuff. One for the stuff that i register or do online and the other for school work. I guess I love my gmail account the most since it has a very good junk mail system.

I maintain a couple of email adresses. This is to ensure that I'll be organized in my net surfing. I maintain for my personal, for business, a and for work. But though I maintain multiple accounts, I do not change the profiles I write so I won't be confused alter on.

Guess I to maintain more than two e-mail ID is a very common thing nowadays because I feel that you have 2 have different e-mail IDs for different purpose. For example I have one e-mail ID which I got from my website which I use for my business purpose and other corporate users. I have a gmail ID which is like my tennis ball I can bounce it anywhere and get all my e-mails in one single ID so that I don't have to keep track of them here and there. And there is another one which are generally keep for registrations on forms and any other sites which I feel can send a lot of e-mails which I am not always interested in. And in those cases I generally use an e-mail service provider with an unlimited storage facility so that they can keep on sending domains and I can just easily slip on reading them on a printed eating them and don't worry about my e-mail address getting full due to borrow unwonted e-mails.

I have 4 emails thru mail.com I started my personal one when I got my first computer over 10 years ago. I got another one there for a book place I belong to and then one for ebay, and then yet another one to give out to places that ask me for an email account like stores and such.
I also have one at yahoo and hotmail. Then there is one more at verizon seeing that is who I have my internet thru.
I use one primarily and just basically check the others about once a month.
