Two. One address is professionaly I use it only at work on my work computer.
Another private address at mailbox.org, where I can temporarily (or permanently) make up to 25 "sub-addresses" that get routed to my main address.
I have 3 in use with the suffix [email protected], [email protected] and [email protected].
Usually I just google for any 10 minute mail service and use those addresses.
Right now, a bit over 410 email addresses. Almost all of them are my simplelogin aliases. That leaves the protonmail addresses and the one gmail I created but never used because I use only if it's a form or something I can only fill out once the owner forgets to open it up to everybody that doesn't have a google account.
Hundreds.
addy.io.
Basically infinite, as I also have the catchall account of my domain.
I use simplelogin but mostly I still use an email that provides aliases. I break things up into five or six main groups. Content like games and streaming, shopping, social media, and a few others. This works as a general grouping for bookmarks, passwords, note taking, and emails.
I felt using a simplelogin alias for every site was out of control. For me personally I just need it a bit simpler.
Two. One main catchall, one backup / burner. Both on Proton Mail.
$dayjob gave me an email, but they are the only ones that use it. My primary is a GMail, though I really should switch to a less crappy provider. I run my own mail server, all my GMail is just forwarded there, but it's not my primary because too many people were having problems sending or receiving mail though there.
So, 3 or less in practice.
I also have a half-dozen variant usernames at GMail and can trivially create as many as I like on my own mail server. So, unbounded in theory.
Three. One from work, one personal, one throwaway.
Three personal, one work, two throwaways
Nice try FBI.
