Should I stick with my current email settings?
I have many email accounts, yahoo,AOL,Hotmail,Google, etc. I also have certain accounts associated with them, like this site, Facebook, twitter, and others. When I created my YouTube account I needed a Google account to use it as it was bought by Google. Now since my current phone uses many stuff associated with Google, my Google account is my most used. Based on that, Should I keep the current settings or switch to more often used emails like Google?
For example, if I had Facebook and twitter using my yahoo email, should I switch it to Google?

It's your call, but if you want my advise...

Out of those four email services you mentioned, Hotmail is the most trustworthy. Yahoo and AOL are flooded with spam and hacking. I had to delete my accounts because my contacts have been receiving spam messages from me. I now only use Yahoo for Answers, and only use AOL for Moviefone. Gmail will be shooting their new privacy policy. That will display users' names in Google advertisements. Hotmail, I would say is safest. That, or Zoho.

Gmail is my primary email address, but I might switch to either Zoho or Skydrive (Hotmail). Google surely has the best products, but I do not like where they're going about tracking people and invading privacy. So is it worth switching to Google? I will say not.

EDIT:
I think once a year, this web page is updated. It is what I read from time to time again. I too am into email services.

I have about 6 different email accounts and use them all differently for different reasons. I purposely keep them just in-case one of them opts out, like if the company dies. Some good examples of that would be angelfire web accounts that use to be a hit back in the late 90's. Now everyone has their own domain. Anyways... I would just use whatever one is the most commonly used if your going to get rid of the others. But sometimes you might need your hotmail account or etc. Though Google is probably the strongest company for software and product support. If you end up just keeping that one there are ways to transfer your address and etc to your google account. Hope that helps!
