Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. I have two: business and personal. I used to create multiple email addresses - ones for all sorts of things, but really with one goal in mind: managing spam.
Now, I have two only (well, I also have a Gmail account, a Yahoo account and a Hotmail account, but just for emergency use): work and personal. I have MX Logic's spam filtering in place now for both my work and personal domains, so I have very little fear that either the personal email (the one I use for friends, family, groups - everything personal) or the work email (that I use to project a professional image to my clients) will be inundated with spam, since that's not really possible with MX Logic, which eliminates upwards of 98% of spam, with only a few false positives per year, such that I never really even see it. Actually, since my [EMAIL PROTECTED] personal email address is an Exchange mailbox hosted by 1&1, I have two levels of spam filtering: MX Logic and then Exchange/Outlook. My work email, [EMAIL PROTECTED], is just a forward to my Exchange mailbox, so everything comes in there. I have Outlook color code the work email (blue) and also have it filter group emails (like these) into separate folders, under the Inbox. The net effect of all this is that I get virtually no spam (maybe a couple a day - all of which show up in Outlook's Junk Mail folder) and my inbox is "pure" which means that I only get the important stuff in my inbox, which also shows up in Versamail (via Exchange Activesync) on the Centro. Nice and clean. I might like to know how Craig (I think it was) gets a text message when important emails show up - not sure how to do that! Since Versamail's "notification" consists of making the same stupid sound (with no vibrate option) every time any email arrives, I can't use that. I hope that the SEVEN email program, with Exchange support - supposed to be available in January - is good enough to use instead of Versamail. It's a nice user interface!

That's what I do and it works perfectly. In fact, many people recommend having 3 E-mail accounts: - business - personal and private (only friends and family) - public (including mailing lists) Just my 0,02 euro cents, as Vishal would say. - - - - - Sandro Campos Mancini -----Original Message----- From: "Garden Writer" <GardenWriter@ <mailto:GardenWriter%40att.net> att.net> Date: Sunday, Dec 23, 2007 11:25 pm Subject: Re: [Treo] To Vishal To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:treo%40yahoogroups.com> com>Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:treo%40yahoogroups.com> com Good for you. But for people like me and the listowner himself, who have our email accounts set up to handle emails LEGITIMATELY flagged high prority, is a big deal and a pain in the butt. I can't speak for Craig, but I get important business mails as well as listmail on this addy and don't appreciate Vishal's crap getting in the way. I need to be alerted when I get business mails, not when Vishal asks his 500th question about Treos. Yet because he marked all his posts high priority, I got alerts for them all. That is defintely not "nothing" it's big annoyance. In any case, the listowner says not to flag list messages as high priority, so he needs to abide by that rule. Happy Holidays!!!! Sue Yahoo!
