1 personal
1 for our website
1 old account I don't even use anymore... could delete it some time
1 company account
1 account for the record label
 
I say 7+ but only regularly use 3 accounts:

School Account- mainly restricted to school stuff
Other School Account- I had to go back to take Physics at Junior College
Yahoo Account- most used for everyday

I also have at least 4 accounts from previous schools (although some may now be inactive) as well as accounts from internet provider, and there may be a hotmail account in there somewhere.

For nostalgia I wish that I still had my first email account.....a ZDnet account from back when I was a PC kid.
 
I have way too many at this point. The ones I can think of total out at nine, but I might be missing one or two here.

ISP for friends and family
ISP for coworkers
ISP for anyone outside the first two groups
Yahoo for online transactions/business
Yahoo for registrations
Yahoo for everything else
Gmail that I don't use at all
Work email
.Mac on a free trial
 
Crazy amount here...

2 Hotmail (primary and secondary)
2 Yahoo (primary and junk)
1 College Email (undergrad through personal server)
1 Law School Email (gmail)

AIM (ichat)
Yahoo Messenger
Live Messenger
Myspace
Facebook

yeah...I like staying in touch...😛
 
1 school email account - used to be my main email, now used only for school
1 gmail account - for personal use
1 hotmail account - for a prank I pulled on one of my friends, not registered under my real name 😛
 
It's 5 for me:

1) work e-mail
2) personal e-mail
3) shopping and general things
4) shopping and general things FLOODED DAILY with spam so now almost useless
5) hotmail I use only for msn messenger
 
I have 7

University
Gmail - private
Gmail - public
Hotmail
Website 1
Website 2
Website 3

I will lose the university email address this summer and am slowly but surely moving everything from hotmail to the gmail making the split between my private one and my public one.
 
3-5 for me.

1 personal one I've had for years that is just for online accounts.
1 personal one that I use for personal correspondence
1 Work one
and I just got .mac so now have an @mac.com one, that won't get that used.

I have a hotmail one that is just associated with my Messenger ID, everytime I check it there is loads of spam!
 
I put down 5-7 in the poll, but after a rethink I've got 9! 😱

2 Personal accounts with sympatico.ca -one for friends, the other for giving out to businesses/websites
3 Gmail accounts -one is for when I travel, one was for the wedding (I really should shut that down now) and one for general internet broadcast/spam catching.
2 email addresses from domains my friends own
1 email from school
1 work email

Mail makes it so easy to add on accounts I guess I didn't realize I have so many! 😱
 
2 Junk Mail accounts
1 College Mail account
1 AIM account
1 School Club account
1 Xbox live hotmail account

But most are tied into mail.app
 
Work
.Mac/MobileMe

Both the ISPs recently farmed their mail service out to Google.

2 for work
1 for school (which is never used)
1 Hotmail (used for MSN and online registations so mainly spam)
1 provided by ISP (this is the one I give to people I know etc)
1 Gmail (Hotmail and ISP emails are POP3 so I auto-forward them to Gmail, reduces spam too on iPhone)
