I use address extensions:
yvan+walmart@mydomain.com
If you don't use this already, try it. Not all mailservers are configured to use address extensions, but many are.

Discovered this trick a couple months ago and use it all the time now.

Work email - work related stuff I sign up for with my real identity.
Home email - personal stuff that I sign up for with my real identity.
Fake email - most stuff I sign up for.
What is this talk of release? I do not release software. My software escapes leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake.

I only rarely use the work email for work purposes since the mailbox is pathetically small (less than 500MB) and it throws away emails with attachments containing executables without me having a choice.
With that said I use my personal email for signing up for sites unless the site prevents that bu saying a gmail account can not be used. In that case I use my ISP email (which I also never use - although that is now several GB of space).

I use a unique email address for each site that I sign up to. These go to a catch all address but as they retain the email address that I used, I can just create a rule for it. It's also easy to delete all if the website is compromised and I start getting spam to a particular email address.

If the site has something to do with the job and it is a serious place then work e-mail.
If the site has nothing to do with work and it is a serious place then personal e-mail.
If the site is not serious fake e-mail.
In any case bacon and CListCtrl are welcome.

I use the same email for work and personal, but I also have a couple of "throwaway" emails.
They work, but anything you send to them is automatically binned.
There is "DontSendMeAnyCrap@..." which is handy for shops, for example.
But other than that it depends on the site and what I want to do with it. If it won't let me look properly without registration then I'll go elsewhere, or use a "Ten Minute Mail" address so I can pick up the registration confirmation link. Once I see what it's like inside, I'll either change the email to a "proper" address or go on my merry way.
If it's a shop that wants an email to buy something online, then I'll often set up a temporary email address: "Comet@..." for example with a push to my real address and either close it or not later. Surprising how many times you find the account has been sold on to advertisers...and one less customer in future.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

The trouble with people,
is that they want to hear only what they want to hear.

If I am signing up for something personal then I use my personal email (or one of them). If the site is specifically related to the company I work for (i.e. If I leave the company then I have no use for the account) then I use my work email address.
That means mostly my personal ones get used, by not exclusively.

Yeah, me too. I was surprised this wasn't an option. "Other" wasn't even an option like it usually is...

Use a separate Email Id for these subscriptions,
|
|
|
|
|
I have multiple email ID...  for work testing I will always use work email, and for personal use personal email...

ops you are right...

There should have been an option " I use just one ID for both personal & professional use". I've multiple IDs, but use just one for all my uses online, this also includes testing the email based applications I've developed and sending test emails to myself.

I really wouldn't recommend that, under the single point of failure principle.

Once I download some third party software for my ASP.NET project they asked for Email, I gave them my Personal Email and from next day, surprisingly there was hundreds of SPAM mail in my inbox.
I guess these third party companies may sell our email address to marketing peoples and we need face such SPAMS...
Why the He** there is so many Email in my Inbox...
Daily I got 200+ mail in my inbox and one 1 or 2 are useful to me, Rest of the mail from Insurance companies, debit/credit cards, policies, bank BLAH BLAH...
