erm...one, and i give it to anyone that asks me for it :shock:
Apart from the one I needed to set up on Freecycle- I only have the one.
I have a number of email addies...
One that's my 'glassy name' for arty/glass type forums I belong to, plus Ebay/esty!
My personal one for family/friends etc - have two work ones which I still use to keep in contact with ex colleagues and up to date with what's happening in my previous work field - two swing/fetish types.
I rarely add anyone to my real name face book from any site unless I have known them for quite a while, met them in person etc.

one is our swinging one
the other our vanilla one
6 domains, numerous sub-domains plus my ISP account and I run my own mail server so technically I have unlimited email addresses but tend to use just about 7 or 8.
I dont know how you lot cope with all these email addys. I would get sooooo lost and muddled up.
I like 777 also only have the one.
Ah, email addresses. The bane of my work life.
It has nothing to do with you have a web based email address that can make your email suddenly go missing. It's who your with. You can setup a account to be picked up by your outlook but that means nothing when actually don't accept the email (happens a lot more often than what you would think). The same goes for ISP's emails. In short, there is no perfect email solution out at the moment. The standards are too lax, filters are not intelligent enough and spam will always find a way.
If you're happy with what you have at the moment, don't change it.
Myself I create a new email address for every website I register with. I have different passwords for each and they are all easily remembered. Not many people include the website address into their email, which makes spam ware hard to guess it.
An example of how to create an easily rememborable setup:
would be an example of an email address - username. The password could be something similar: swinging123456heaven there you can change the website address per registration and you already have a very secure, if basic password setup already.
PS:
yes I am a little tipsy, but I stand by the advice and methods.
I have
1 at work
1 for freind and family
1 with a phone company it came free
and 1 for those people and companies I do not wish to hear from again, I never open it.
