Too many emails
2004.12.28
At the moment, I have way too many email accounts, but I can’t decide which one I want to use as my main email.
The ones I use more are - just listing the domains ;) :
- @flydown.org: until a few months ago, this one was my main email. It’s the one from my personal website.
- @mac.com: I truly love this one, but I’m reluctant to use it as my main account because I don’t want to feel obliged to renew my .Mac account every year. This one also serves as my AIM account.
- @mucca.info: mucca is the Italian for cow and I think that it’s a very clever name for a domain name. This domain is the one I use to mess with my home-server.
- @gmail.com: if Gmail had IMAP access, I’d use this one more.
- @wonsys.net: the one from my company. I use this one just for work.
- @flydowndesign.com: this one’s from my portfolio. I’ve not started to use this one, yet. But I like it has IMAP.
- @poste.it: from the Italian Post Office. I use this one just for official purposes.
- A couple more which I use just to sign up on websites - I.E. full of spam.
- 4/5 more from my friends’ website. Those aren’t battling for the first place
Aren’t those too many?
So, please, help me decide which one’s the best! :grin:

[...] The situation is problematic. Users of systems would like to minimize the proliferation of credentials they must carry. Also they would benefit greatly from the ability to connect their accounts in a single system in such a way that they have visibility across all their content at once, and in such a way that they wouldn’t have to spend time re-entering profile, preference and other information into each account. Corporations seek these same benefits for their workers because it makes the workers, and hence the corporation, more efficient. On the other hand, corporations still have a desire to limit access to information (e.g. to employees only), and to monitor employees activities (shudder) if not for pure evil purposes, for regulatory ones.

I have 10 e-mail accounts.
I think that main e-mail account should be hosted on your server but free e-mail services are also OK.
