Do any of you change your email address often?

I've never changed my main email address which I use on a very discretionary limited basis. But for everything else I have about 30 sub email accounts.

I have my favorite email and one I use for wherever one is required to sign up for something that I don't particularly want to hear about as well as my work email. I don't change them.

Not me. I use my current email address for so many purposes that it would cause a chaos if I changed it.

No, I get so many important emails from so many people that it would be difficult to change my email, and would probably be a hassle for other people who deal with me, too.

I've had the same address since 2001 (I'm glad most e-mails services have a search feature now) . I started a g-mail account in 2004 for spam/unimportant uses, and still maintain it as well. I'm bordering on about 30,000 emails now, mostly from various mailing lists.

I've had the same one since I was 10. Plus one specifically for spammy sites, the uni e-mail address, and an google one to use with google products.

No. What's the point of constantly changing your email address? My oldest email account got hacked and later on banned for sending spam mail that the hacker did around 2007. That's the only time i made a new one.

I didn't change mine a lot per se, but my Yahoo mail account got hacked. At that point, I got a new e-mail address at Google Mail, and hadn't changed mine since.
