How many email addresses do you have?
-
@evan 3 addresses, at least 426 aliases. do aliases count?
-
@evan Oodles of “hide my email” addresses, but I’m not sure I count them as “mine.”

@Seirdy Wikipedia also has some interesting discussion on the topic.

@leberschnitzel @simplelogin do they?
-
@evan I have a separate address for every single entity I correspond with. Instant I get spam, they're blocked, and I know who you are...
-
@evan Should I count mailboxes that exist, but to which I no longer have access?

I'm going to use the RFC definition of an email address. I'll say it's mine if only I can read the messages sent to the address (no lists or shared aliases). have one each for personal, work, and school. I have another 3 or 4 for projects I'm involved in, and another 3 or 4 after that for cloud services that give email addresses out for free. Plus I do some aliases for signing into accounts; maybe 10-20. So I'd say 16 or more.

@dneary do you feel like you "have" those addresses?

@evan 2--5 based on which _accounts_ I have, ignoring any automatic aliases following `-` or `+` in the `local-part`
Also, a rant: https://blog.narf.ssji.net/2012/12/11/valid_email_address_characters/

@shtrom the question is addresses, not accounts.

@evan
How do you count "equivalent" email addresses, such as<[email protected]>
where FOO can be anything, or Gmail's "[email protected]
=[email protected]

@monnier separate addresses. I wouldn't consider all such possible addresses; only those in use
