Okay, seriously. Who honestly, genuinely, shares an e-mail account with anyone any more? With Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo, whatever, there's a thousand free e-mail account services for the taking? So unless it's for a joint account of somewhere, who honestly shares their e-mail account with anyone? I sure as hell wouldn't, I've got plenty of private stuff on there, like I'm sure everyone does to some extent. It'd make PayPal only useable by one person too. But if support tickets are to be believed, half of you share accounts with your brother. Even the ones who don't have a brother. And you name your accounts along the lines of "thejadefalcon" and the "thejadefalconn".

So, does anyone do this? Has anyone ever done it?

P.S. I already know the answer is "Man, those guys are stupid to use that excuse, moreso if it's actually true."

Using the open internet (used BBS's before that) since 96 (I was 12 then); everyone in my family had their own email addresses.
Even my younger brother got his own when he was 6 or 7 years old; 1998~99 I think

I have a shared e-mail with a friend (for games). We both use it for joining/signing up for things so it has a lot of spam. We created 2-3 different emails for that purpose. Naturally we both also have our own private emails, I use 3 different email providers (Yahoo, Gmail, and Hotmail). I use each for a different purpose, and I switch around their purposes sometimes if I'm bored.

I have shared an email before though if that is what you meant. I also shared a MMO account before as well. And I also share a PSN account with my brother.

My parents used to share an email account years ago, but when they changed providers they each got their own. (And now when I write them I'm never sure on what account I should send stuff.) Personally, I've never shared an account with anyone.

I don't share emails...But I do have like 50 email accounts, 43 of which I don't even remember anymore...

And before people ask, I used to take advantage of the 1 month free offer from Netflix. And by take advantage, I meant make a new email every month, deactivated old Netflix account, and make a new one to get a free month, rinse and repeat. It had gone on for a long time before my parents told me to stop and just take the monthly charges which isn't all that much.
