College -> Hotmail -> Gmail -> My own domain, hosted via Google Apps. Have had that last one for about 4 years, and unless something drastic happens, it'll be my primary forevah.

Three times.

Local ISP(1998-2002) > Comcast(2002-present) > Gmail(2004-present)

Still have my Comcast email, but use gmail as my primary.

AOL during high school, then my college address in college, registered my current gmail address during college. So I've changed twice.

Multiple different AOL and Compuserve email addresses. Multiple hotmails. Pretty sure I had a yahoo in there somewhere. A couple at bornagain. Various private domain emails. 3 active gmail accounts.

I do not keep in touch with people with email, so changing emails doesn't bother me.

once from hotmail to gmail.

Twice if you consider aol, but that was before anyone emailed to contact anyways.

AOL -> hotmail (for like a month) -> yahoo -> Gmail/ufl.edu

I don't really use my email for much, switching again wouldn't really be an issue.

I've always had my hotmail address and several secondary e-mail addresses.

I haven't switched from Yahoo since '03, but I've added gmail and me.com for redundancy in case there's ever an issue with the Yahoo account (happened once).
