15. I have several email accounts on different platforms.

Recently I was editing an anthology, and so set up a gmail account specifically for that purpose. I also have gmail accounts I use when I need to give an email to something that I otherwise don't want to hear back from. I recently set up a gmail account I call Personal Gmail, and I'm sort of transitioning some emails over to that one.

It's a small nuisance to remember to check several different emails every day. But not difficult.

So yeah, several accounts, gmail or otherwise, can be a very good idea.

No, you don't need to delete your new one. Just either google gmail accounts or something like that and you'll find out all you need. The system does not track you, has no idea how many accounts you might have. You might want to keep track of accounts and the passwords needed. Personally, I have an excel file for all of my passwords, and because sometimes I wind up changing a password when working from my laptop and I forget to save it in a way that I can then sign in from my desktop, sigh. That's why I have the excel file and even then it doesn't always keep me up to date.
