Really 2. My original for my ISP became so spammed I coined another addy, but that doesn't count. I have a gmail account for my on-the-air persona, however. That is linked to my ISP account, so everything hits that account and is download all at once.

School email - most used
POP3 email from a friend's dad - hardly used, need to migrate away from it since I have no outgoing server
Gmail - little used; few registrations but friends mostly; insane amount of spam even though address was hardly given out
Yahoo - created for signup sites, yet oddly after all kinds of registrations it gets a couple emails per week and 4-5 spam mails per week

I have uncountable gmail accounts. seriously, I think I have over 15 or 20 gmail accounts, but I have one main account I use for everyday email. My secondary email, which I use for really important stuff, is my college account.

also I have a yahoo account from many many years ago, and various other accounts, like myway, lycos, a bunch of AOL accounts from free trials... the list goes on.

Currently two that I actually use, one for school stuff and one that is my personal account.

I also have a third that I abandoned long ago because of spam issues, but I still keep it active for signing up for stuff where I risk getting spammed.

Actually my current personal email address gets about 100 - 120 spam emails a day, so I'm thinking about getting a new one for actual use. On the other hand I don't really use email to communicate any more. The spam problems make it too inconvenient. I use Facebook, Live Messenger and my phone (voice/text) to keep in touch with friends. Email feels a bit 1996.
