How many email addresses do you use?

Currently, I actively use four.
One for development projects related stuff (based on personal domain), one for an office job I work (provided by employer), a personal Gmail, and another one for all the informal stuff (local email provider). There is also my university email, which I use pretty rarely since I graduated.

How many email addresses do you actively use?

I've been using my main gmail account for almost 10 years now. But there are a lot of emails coming in everyday and its hard to keep track of everything. So I created dedicated email addresses for my freelance work, corporate work, and personal business. In this way, I can easily track everything that comes in each business. What do you think?

I use 3 email addresses. I use Gmail since Google releases it.

I also use Yandex.

I use Hotmail Since 2002. Is there anyone to remember windows live spaces?

One for work, one for personal life, and 100+ aliases for different use cases. I use the + aliasing notation (e.g. user+alias@example.org) whenever I need to give any company my email which leads me to know if that company leaks my email somewhere or otherwise uses it suspiciously.

I must have had more than 10-15 over the years, but currently my mail client only has 6. Two of them are the main ones, a GSuite for my business email and a gmail for personal.
