Email accounts

Just wondering how many account you have for yourself. I think most of the IT users are having the same problem with me as I have more than 5 accounts for myself.

Let’s calculate it from here, 2 Yahoo mail, 1 hotmail account, 2 gmail accounts, 1 company’s email account, 1 UM email account and the last one is my hosted domain email account. Wow!! I am having 8 email accounts to manage. I believe you might have more than mine.

Let make this topic interesting, and you might share out your best tool to manage your email accounts. Basically all my personal account I am tracking using messenger. I am having 3 messenger on the run when I on my PC. Which is windows live messenger, yahoo messenger, and also google talk. These messengers will prompt me a notification when new email coming in. So, I don’t have to check every minute for the new message. I prefer using web base client to read my personal email is because these account are having huge data inside. I don’t really prefer to download to my thumb drive.

For company’s email, I am using outlook as this account only in used when I am in the office. I am using thunderbird for 3 others account gmail, UM account and the hosted domain account. I installed the thunderbird application in my portable drive, so that I can read from any pc with the portable drive plug in.

It’s a hustle for maintain the email account for people like me who have a permanent work and also doing some part time job, as we always face some time shortage in check and reply email. What do you think about maintaining email accounts?

  1. i have :
    1) lycos - mostly for newsletters, web application registrations, and some unimportant emails
    2) gmail - my main email address. used for freelancing, friends, newsletters, etc
    3) yahoo mail - not important because mostly junk mails
    4) hotmail - not important because mostly junk mails
    5) company email

    the best email application i have used is gmail.

    for your pop emails, you can use gmail to retrieve them. if you have your own domain name, you can set it in gmail also.

    i am using Microsoft Outlook for my office emails and hotmails. It is very slow.
