    If you use Hotmail/Outlook you can just setup an alias in your main account, so all your emails will go into the same account but it'll use a different email address, easy to do, deets here : http://www.thewindowsclub.com/create-add-use-outlook-email-alias

    I have one specifically for comping so totally separate from my personal and professional email addresses.

    I did open a different one for comping because it was getting out of control-but I seem to being having less luck with the "new" email address! I've won once with it in the just over a year of having it...yet had a few wins when I entered the old one still. No idea why...

    I find you always end up accidentally putting your 'professional' email into a comp for or worse your comping one onto some job applications or something, best to stick to one which sounds non compy and reasonably 'adult'.

    Never done that in over 7 years but I use a form filler for comping and not for real stuff - not that it would matter much as none of the e-mails have anything strange in the address.
