Reduce your email accounts to three or less.
1) Business email account
You need one account for business related emails - if you are a salaried employee this is typically is your company’s email address.
2) Private email account
You then also need a private email account. I highly recommend separating business and private email accounts. On one hand corporate compliance guidelines often request this separation. On the other hand it also helps keeping a line between your private and business life. Whereas you want to work on your business mails as efficiently as possible you might want to treat your private mails differently.
3) Website email account
In case you have a website it also makes sense to have a separate email for this one since you can expect a high amount of incoming spam which you do not want to get distracted from in your business and private account.
4) Additional addresses
If you need more email addresses than the three mentioned above you better create email aliases. The advantage is that you have to maintain less address books and also reduce the number of inboxes to be checked.
