> Out of curiosity, why did you structure your emails like that?
About ten years ago I had a junk email I used for web sites, separate from the one I used for friends and family. So as an anti-spam measure.
A couple of years ago when I started my online programmer persona, I used persona@gmail.com for continuity.
The system has actually worked pretty well for me, apart from having to manage lots of accounts in my mail client.

That step didn't happen to me until now. Now what?
- gregpilling 15y ago>Now what? Select your favorite email address, and forward the others to it. If your favorite is your gmail, then have the incoming emails automatically tagged with a label appropriate for where it is coming from (you may wish to use "family", "hacking" "work" etc).
- techiferous 15y agoThis is an option I'll definitely consider. Is Google+ designed to actually work seamlessly this way? In other words, will people interacting with my Google+ presence through my friendsandfamily@gmail.com have the same experience as those interacting with my Google+ presence through my onlinehackerpersona@gmail.com? Also, I've got two invites: one for onlinehackerpersona@gmail.com and one for friendsandfamily@gmail.com. Which one do I take? If I choose one, do I lose the connection with the other person and have to re-invite them?
