Good morning! 
 And Happy Friday!

How many email addresses to you have? Do you share an email addy with your SO?

I have five email addresses but only really use one of them, other than my one at work. And that's the one that Rick and I share. 

Rick uses his phone email for union work, but other than that, he uses our shared address, as do I.

2. 

The plan was to have 1 email address for important stuff, like jobs (I do a temporary job where the only way I find out if I've been asked to do something is by an email) job applications, high school stuff etc.  And then the other was supposed to be just junk mail.  

Well, that didn't work.  The one that I used for the "important" stuff gets junk mail b/c most of the time it's the one I remember first LOL.   The junk mail one gets a few "important" emails.  

Don't share one with the husband.

Right now I just have one for personal and a work email.  I used to have a second one when I belonged to a Yahoo group.  The bad thing about the Yahoo forums is that they fill up your email, I never did figure out how to turn that off.  I would get a notice about every new post not just the ones to threads that I had posted to, very annoying.

Five that are used for different things. I don't share one with my husband but usually have to check his two every couple of days because he often forgets.

I just have my work E-mail, I use it for personal too. We are so fortunate to have an employer that allows us to be on the internet when we aren't busy. I suppose when I retire I'll have to get my own!

I have 6 emails. 

I have a main Gmail that's for friends/family, then i have another email with the same alias at hotmail for sign-ups, promos, stores that want my email. (Suuuuureeee, have my junk account), my yahoo was originally my "professional' resume email untill i was married, then I made a new one with my new name at gmail. Then I manage 2 email accounts at work.

I do have a gmail but I never use it.  I am not a techie type person but I guess a gmail acct is a requirement for an android phone.

Good question, I have two email addresses.  I use my primary one mostly but on occasion I do use the secondary. I don't share them with anyone.

Rick uses his phone email for union work, but other than that, he uses our shared address, as do I. 
I sign up for a lot of freebies so I have quite a few that I use in case the freebies turn out to be spam. My main email is a Hotmail but I do have a few others of that, a few Gmails and a bellsouth that I never use. DH and I did not share an email. I can access his old email but almost never do. 

Since I mentioned freebies, my very favorite site for that is www.yourdailyfreebies.com.  I am not affiliated with them in any way but I have been a member of the forum for years and have gotten a lot of cool stuff for free thanks to members who are kind enough to share their finds with the group. The site is put together and run very well.

I have 2. One DH & I used to share; but he realized he didn't like that (it was his idea too!). I use one for any sign-up type things and the other for shopping. I never get actual personal messages by e-mail anymore.

I have 3.  The one I use most is the one which lists the user name on this site.  It's been my main email address since the internet LOL

Another is my work email.  

Last, is one with my real name, that was used solely for employment searches.  

Oh wait, I have another one which is my user name for a virtual world also.

So, 4 total.  That I remember :p

I do not share one with my SO.  I think this is NOT a good idea, and ethically wrong.  We both don't go out of our ways to hide our personal ones, but everyone deserves some degree of privacy in their lives.

I used to share one with my Husband but he got too cranky about all the emails from online shops and from YouTube ect... Now I have my very own and no one growls at me anymore- well not about the email anyway. ;)

I have 3, but usually only use the 1. Hubby and I don't share one, but we share passwords. Most of our passwords are automatically saved anyway. That way if we do need to get into the others accounts for a reason there's no problem.
