Do you know of people (e.g., married couples) that share an email address?

Yes, and I don't really understand why they do it.

Edit: I know two couples who share e-mail addresses.
 
A few... but most people have their own...

Seems like the people that are not so computer literate share one...
 
My wife and I share our primary home email. I have a couple gmails for work.

We also share one checkbook, one savings account, and the same bed 😀
 
many older people do it because one is so computer illiterate that they have the other one do it for both
 
My wife does. She's not so computer literate, and even though I cut her off when we upgraded to XP and I coul tie an MSN account to her XP login, she still checks mine occasionally.

Here's the thing:
It doesn't really bother me. I don't have anything that's private from my wife and I can't understand why anyone would. It seems like a lot of effort to maintain a distance that I would rather eliminate in my marriage.

It's not about privacy. I would rather not have to sift through all the gossipy crap and forwarded x1000 chain letters from her friends that infect her account. Just as I'm sure she doesn't want to read about the latest deals on sound cards from newegg.

 
Most couples I know (including my sister and her husband) have "separate" accounts but check each other's personal accounts interchangeably. Work stuff stays pretty separate I think.
