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...

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. Smile | :)

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... Mad | :mad:

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... Dead | X|
