I have 7 or 8 different e-mail accounts. No reason not to when they are free. I use one to give out on web sites. One to give to friends. One for work, etc. This cuts down on the spam. I highly recommend Gmail. Click here for "10 reasons to use Gmail" and to create an account. You can even use a program like Thunderbird to get all of your e-mails delivered to one place. Then use filters to have messages automatically placed in different folders, i.e. "For Sale", "Friends", "Hobbies", "Action items", etc.
One lesser known feature with Gmail accounts is that you can set up custom addresses by adding a "+" to your username and then follow it with whatever address you want. For example: If you have rakemup[at]gmail.com, you could sign up on different websites with rakemup+contests[at]gmail.com and then setup a filter so that any emails that come to rakemup+contests[at]gmail.com go to a certain label which can be reviewed later. It's a quick and easy way to filter emails.
