I managed to get down to 2(ish) email addresses;

  • @outlook.com is my primary. I have an alias on this account for sign-up's and stuff I probably won't read. It's filtered and often end's up in Trash rather than Archive
  • @mywork.com is my work account. I've also made a big attempt to not sync this account with any of my devices apart from my office workstation, it's harder than it sounds!

I'd actually like to reduce to 2-3 addresses too.

Especially since a lot of the answers to this thread made me realize how useful aliases are and how it could replace my many different addresses.

I actually done the opposite: I don't use mails very much for my job but I still have to keep an eye on this address if I don't want to miss out important things. So it's synced with my personal smartphone, to ensure I'll check it from time to time.
