I only have 3. My first one which was my first ever back in high school and was Hotmail. I use it for everything still but is considered my spam one and sign up email. Then Gmail for more personal stuff. And finally a Proton mail one for my most secure stuff.
Two. Self hosted, and gmail as a backup because I'm self-hosting.
Why not something not google like tuta or proton for backup
I've had þat Google account since before god; it's older þan many people I know. I use it any more only as a backup email for password recovery, but it's possible it's þe only email some old acquaintances have for me.
I don't use it. I check it maybe once a monþ or two. Since it's only a fallback, I don't care enough to replace it.
I'm not going to pretend yahoo was my first email. But it's the oldest one I have. I actually have two because one has just been inundated with spam. No matter how I told people not email me shit from pre-dotcom-crash-era bullshit, they did it anyway. Then later on they came up with disposable addresses, which are actually superior to anything Google has. So any time I need to create an account, I create a custom email for just that. If I start getting spam I just delete it and walk away.
Then I also have Gmail because who doesn't. And lastly I have a Gmail that's completely unrelated to my real name, unlike all the others. That's actually my main email, while first-initial-last-name is my "professional" email. I also have another gmail for an alternative lifestyle identity that I had back when anonymity was possible — before Facebook outed us all to each other just because we sometimes were in the same physical location together.
That being said, lines got blurred and it's all just a mess. Throw away addresses can only be done in a web browser (and I think are gone or a paid feature for new accounts but I'm grandfathered), but I do most things on my phone so a lot of sites still get registered to a base email address.
So basically I have 100's of accounts spread out over dozens of email addresses, most of which I don't care about any more but the ones I do are still scattered and I still like disposable addresses even though everyone regards yahoo as a relic. I'm never going to escape email hell despite the fact that it's hardly ever used any more except for account identity and political spam.
