A way to view ALL internet profiles signed up to your email?
I was wondering if there's a site where you can check your email to see every single site you're signed up to using that email.
The reason I'm asking, is over the years I've signed up to hundreds of different social networking sites, forums, etc, and I'm now trying to cancel any I'm not using that have my email listed publicly as I keep getting loads of people add me and send me emails that I don't know and when asked, won't reveal where they got my address from.
I would just delete my email, but as I've had that address for roughly 6 years there's a lot of important companies that need to contact me through it and it's too much hassle contacting them all about a change in my email.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I think many people keep a few addresses going for this very reason
I have
work
friends and family
professional sites
a buying sites
legit registration
casual enquiries
etc
that way the ones that matter are as private as poss - the others can be dropped and replaced at any time
when you do try to access a site with an abandoned id - it's just a case of changing details to current ... if you don't access it again - it's tied to an abandoned address
and as for replying to mails from people you don't know
DON'T - it's just asking for trouble
often by confirming an address is live - you are just opening the floodgates to more spam

Changing your email address is not difficult.
First do some housekeeping on the address book in your email program, so that it contains all the contacts you want to do business with and no others.
All you have to do is send one email to all of the friends and companies (of course putting their addresses in the Bcc (blind copy) field so that they can't see who else you are sending it to.
Another way, in Outlook, is that you can right-click on the email in the inbox, choose "Create Rule", and then specify which folder you want emails from that sender to go into. So can have a junk folder and a useful emails folder, and as emails arrive, Outlook will put them in one of those folders depending on whether you have designated that sender as friend or foe.
