@evan Wow, 100% of the ... checks vote counts ... 1 people who voted so far voted just ol like me! Woot!

@evan I'm not counting disposable ones - hundreds of those. #Zimbra EMail supports an arbitrary number, a great feature for keeping all those shopping sites etc. separate and shutting down any that get leaked. (I keep my old myspace one as a #HoneyPot - still see occasional spam on it).
Unlike GMail's +tag feature, Zimbra disposable emails can't easily be tracked back to my real email.

@andresmh @evan I disabled this on my mail server. It is a spam magnet.

Irenes (many)

@evan you know, we're not entirely sure we haven't forgotten some

@evan these days they go to one of two mailboxes which is nice.

Seirdy

@evan 3 addresses, at least 426 aliases. do aliases count?

Mick 🇨🇦

@evan Oodles of “hide my email” addresses, but I’m not sure I count them as “mine.”

Jared

@evan
- 1 address for family/friends
- 2 for business
- 5 from platforms, but they fwd to the main inbox and exist only for those platforms
- a few hundred aliases across 4 domains for any online account (eg. servicename@mailbox.domain.tld for each service/account/newsletter/etc)

@evan
How many inboxes do you check daily? I forward most of my email to a single master email and can send from those other emails over imap.

@evan Wait, does it count if as one or multiple if I have my own domain and use different emails for sorting.

Alex Spehr

@evan Maybe the right question to ask is "how many inboxes do you check regularly?"

3.

@evan

Zero email addresses.

I'm so far off the grid, I'm sparking this message in binary, encapsulated via the entire OSI stack interfering with a nearby router.

@evan @simplelogin if they do, I'm over 200... and since they are all their distinct addresses and not just internal aliases, I'd say they count

Mark Darbyshire

@evan I only use 3 on a regular basis (including my work email) but I have enough others that I use occasionally to push me into the 6 to 15 category.

Jonathan T

@evan Voted for 6 to 15 but it should have been 16 or more. Forgot about all the 'Hide my Email' ones I use for websites.

@evan
One that I use, several old ones still connected to accounts on other services that I either can't or don't have any plans to move over.

For example, I have a paid Battle.net account that I can't access because that email address was shut down, and while waiting for Blizzard support to change it to my current email, I created a free account using an email connected to a Microsoft-account I haven't used for years. And now I can't close that account because Blizzard support never fixed my paid account, so I'm still using the temporary one.

@evan @Em0nM4stodon I have at least 256! email addresses available, because I have a catchall on one domain and customise the email address to each form. Then if I get spam I know who's spamming me and I can block.

Breizh

@evan An infinity. But I count this as one + aliases, even if I can send an email with any of these aliases. And then, I have four other addresses on top of that (two for work, two personal, more like legacy than really useful).

PointlessOne :loading:

@evan I have a few domains I can use any address on them but I mostly use like 2-3 addresses.

Stuart Longland (VK4MSL)

@evan

- Yahoo account from the late 90s
- Home email account (run on my own infrastructure; 3 aliases)
- Work email account (Office365; 3 aliases)

You could count that as 3 (actual email accounts) or you could count the identities (7).

Nick T
@evan I answered 6 to 15, old addresses, old habits. Technically my answer is practically infinite as I have a catchall domain name that'll accept email sent to any address at that domain which I use when signing up for things that aren't important, or are likely to sell my email address, or both.
Wesley de Groot 🥷:clippy:

@evan I used to have like 25+ 🤣 I now have 2 email addresses, but I need one more because of spam filtering is too tight at iCloud sometimes.

marty

@evan since i do e-mail aliasing, and have been for the past 4 years, it means one email per account created since then. that's dozens, if not 3 digits by now.
