Dealing With the Email You Get: February 2006 Archives

In How many email addresses do you need? I advocated that you need at least three email addresses. To review, I strongly recommend that you have:

• A private address for people you trust and prioritize highly.
• A public address for everyone else from whom you want to get email.
• A throw-away address for one time, or occasional use that you ignore the rest of the time.

That's a start. It's a good start, and will go a long way to taming the beast.

But it's just a start. Especially if you get a lot of mail, you can do better.
