I started a discussion the other day about my inbox being empty and then realised that actually it was with only one of my email accounts. I have now just gone through the inbox on the other account and have sorted that one too, although it isn't entirely empty there are, however, 500 less emails in the inbox now hahaha. I only have 2 active emails accounts but was wondering if people keep many more than that. How many active email accounts do you have?

Heya Humbug. I'm not sure. I've made so many email accounts through the years that I lost count! I have to say though I currently only use 4. One I share with my husband, one I use for business, one I use mainly for mylot, and one I is for other stuff, like when I list things for sale. I have to say, 4 is more than enough for me. I don't need anymore than that! Now if only I could get around to deleting my other email addresses... Happy mylotting!

Thanks! 6 isn't too bad. I myself have 9 open right now, which is a bit on the low side for me.

Hey there sacmom Nice new avatar! lol. Oh I think 4 is enough for anyone. I wouldn't want that many as I would have so many tabs open at one time like even now I have 6 tabs on the go hahaha Cheers Sac X

Right now I only have 1 Email account, and that is with Gmail. I have tried at one time having more than one, but it was not easy to keep up with, so I cut back to just one. I have a lot of unread Email in there. I have my myLot Email come there with all my friends discussions, etc. so it is often quite full. Just in my myLot folder I have about 2000 Emails in there from friends discussions going back a couple of months. So when I have time I play catch up some with those discussions and hope for the Best.

Well let's see, there's AOL, Yahoo, Yahoo 2, SPC Global (which is another Yahoo), Gmail, Hotmail and work... I only use AOL, the 2nd Yahoo and work e-mail regularly. The rest, I go there, delete spam, keep them in case I need a backup account.

I use to be a GPT user so I had loads of email accounts. Currently I have about 6 account active, but usually only use 3 of them. They are always full and I do try and visit them so that I can clean them out before they become nightmares. lol

I have 2 personal accounts, one for use with friends, serious sites and everything related to real life, while the other is keep for online earnings, chat and all that comes from internet, so I can keep both things separated properly. Also, in my job I have my own account withing the firm domain which is entirely for work. I have too a Hotmail account, but it's really abandoned and I use only for MSN which requires such an account. I keep everything together in my inbox in Outlook in my home from where I can manage all the accounts. I'm quite organized and deployed folders to store mails well ordered and everything, and keep unreaded or unresponded mail in the inbox. But I was so lazy to move all old mail and it was flooded with old messages, spams and such things. If you look right now at my box, it has 753 messages!!! I really have to do cleanup.

Hi, Even i have two emails, one is primary in Gmail account and one is secondary in yahoo mail. The reason i have kept these two mails, first the very fact is from my office, education, and any other important source where my email is required i have made this email. Secondly talking about yahoo mail i have made this second email for my social networking sites, or any other sites which requires registration of through email while signing a particular page on website, This makes me more handy and organized with my important emails and signing offers, So that if i have a important office mail then i use Gmail whereas if i have some notifications on some websites life facebook or linked-in then i use yahoo.

Hi ya vikas121 If you don't use the accounts with 500 emails or more then you are just as well to close it though I am sure that after a certain period of time of non use that they will close it for you. Cheers vikas

I do have two active email accounts but I always check them everyday for mails. I never let my mails accumulate, thus everyday I clean up my mail and sort them out. I do have the luxury of doing this since I am almost everyday logging in online. Whenever I got on the internet, I open up all my mails and go from there.

Hi ya AgentGulaman Yes I do the same but if I am away for a weekend or so then the emails build up big time but I sort them as soon as I can, most of them can be deleted straight away anyway. Cheers Agent

I have 3 email accounts but only two active- one for my hobbies like surveys etc and the other for giving out to friends and school and official stuff. My survey email box was pretty empty until I really put effort into surveys now I'm on vacations but now its filling up quickly. My official email gets kinds empty occasionally- depends on what season it is.

Hi there rawar31 I am like you, I use 2 emails, one for personal and one for more professional sort of stuff. I have been trying hard to get into doing surveys but if I think that the reward is not worth it then I won't do it. I am trying to get some money and vouchers together ready for Christmas! Cheers rawar
