Too many email addresses?
I've been trying to 'organize' lately. I realized I have a total of 9 email addresses: 1 ATT.net, 4 Gmail & 4 Outlook. There are a number of reasons for this. I'd like to 'downsize', but for now I need 3 for different web pages. Since Gmail no longer notifies you of comments/messages on social sites, I had to switch to Outlook.com for those. And I 'like' Gmail for other things. I might be able to get rid of 2 Gmail; but we'll see. As soon as I get the new option in Gmail of 'changing' my email address, I plan on changing, maybe deleting a couple. For now, I have to keep them all.
And my computer guru has suggested it's best NOT to use your name in email addresses. That's one reason I added the last new one--I'll try to switch important things to the new address, eventually.

And I've pretty much decided which other address I can delete. So I'm getting there.

Well, I"ve spent most of today trying to delete one of my Outlook email addresses--not easy!!I finally just deleted the log in info. Then, I started a new acct that will eventually be switched to Primary. BUT...I can 'send' emails from that acct, in Thunderbird, but not Receive. Grr...what a hassle. ALso tried to 'import' via Gmail...that doesnt work either. So my temporary solution is to put that email acct as one of my Start pages. I have 2 other accounts that I will eventually delete.
