I was wondering what was the best way of making multiple emails on one email account? so that they are easier to manage...

Thanks.

How do you mean?

Send multiple emails?
Or multiple email addresses? You can always set up a forwarder to automatically forward emails to the one account. This means iit sends a copy to the forward address.

I know with hotmail there is an option of creating alias's so that emails will go to a seperate folder.

A feature of gmail I know about but have not used yet is similar to the above but it uses your normal email address followed by a +whatever to create a sort of unique email which also can get put into a separate folder. For example your normal one might be [email protected] with this you could do [email protected] and it would still go to your main account but can be easily filtered out. Its a good way of working out what websites are selling your details anyway.
 
I'm guessing you mean aliases, in this case its easy with outlook, just hit the settings cog, then "More email settings" then "Your Email accounts". Create as many aliases you want under your one outlook address.
 
Basically it's for multiple youtube accounts, so that I can receive emails and being able to manage those emails through just one email account.

Do you mean, so you could use it like:
Main Email: [email protected]
Tesco: [email protected]
Argos: [email protected]
All through alias'? If so, that's not a half bad idea for keeping your personal email clean as you could just kill an alias!

yeah but I think it has to be after the first letter not 100% sure so for example

[email protected]
[email protected]

and it will all go to your main email so [email protected] but obviously can be filtered out into seperate folders etc.

Its something I've not used personally but its something I keep meaning to try out. If you google it you can probably find a clearer explanation :)
 
Looks like I can't do it like that seeing as how my yahoo is apparently "permanently" linked to one of my youtube accounts and I can't sign up for new youtube accounts using just an email address, you have to make a new google account, can't believe how Google are trying to force people to use their stuff.

Edit:

Instead of using gmail, I can create a new youtube account, change the email address, then add a disposable yahoo email to each of the youtube accounts, going to only one email account!
