I have 10 email accounts. At least that’s what I think I have, last time I checked.
(Please note I am NOT counting the ones I created for Ruby.)
Between changing passwords — “Oh yes Dot, of course you will remember all the different super complicated strong passwords for every email account!” — and remembering what email I used to sign up for each website, you can imagine my personal email hell every morning when I wake up.
Here’s a peek into my identities.
xxx@dorothyho.com
xxx@gmail.com
xxx@yahoo.com
xxx@yahoo.com
xxx@hotmail.com
xxx@hotmail.com
xxx@mail.com
xxx@go.com
Plus two work emails!
xxx@XXX.com
xxx@XXX.com
And this is not counting the Facebook, Flickr, Youtube mailboxes et al.
Is this normal? How many email accounts do YOU have?
I feel contactable, but also not.
I guess what I’m trying to say is, “It’s not you, it’s me.”
You have 10 e-mail accounts?!! And I thought I was bad enough with my 4 web-based accounts and 1 work account!
why do you have two Yahoo and two Hotmail accounts? I have my work one, mail.com, Yahoo and Gmail. That’s four!
I have almost ten accounts too, but I route most of them through my Gmail. Why don’t you do that? Go to Gmail’s Settings > Accounts and add as many accounts as you like there. It’ll at least help to cut down on having to check that many separately.
I only have 3 email accounts, plus the usual facebook, flickr and work accounts and that is already killing my brain cells each time I try to recall the passwords. How in the world do you cope with 10 ??!!
i use a single password for all things personal, and the another single password for all things work-related.
i admit, i don’t have a good memory. i know my weakness! haha.
i have one gmail, one daphnemaia.com, one ping.sg, one hotmail.com, one work email. plus facebook. and i still only have half of what you do. haha.
Yes, I am horrible! I don’t even know why I have two of some email accounts. Thanks for the ideas. It’s impossible for me to check them all every day, so I focus on only a couple.
