I usually create more than one user account when developing a site so I can test different user roles and so on. However, there are a finite number of email addresses I have and can easily check, and one has to be the site's from address. Is there a way to let multiple user id's share an email address? If not, what's the best way to manage this?

One thing you can do is add a "+" to the name portion of the address, followed by anything you want. For example if you already have the email address
foo@bar.com
Then for your next user you can use
foo+bar@bar.com
This mail will go to the same place as the first one, because email servers ignore everything between the + and the @. So you can have essentially the same address, but it will still be unique from Drupal's perspective.
I use this a lot for identifying the source of my email (for instance when i register at amazon i use the address foo+amazon@bar.com, and then I can track who amazon is selling my name too, unless they are smart enough to strip it out beforehand which some places are.)

Not specifically a Drupal solution, but: as you seem to have a Gmail address, I think you can use any address of the form jgazis+SOME_TEXT@gmail.com and it will still go to your Gmail account. Furthermore, you can then do filters on Gmail to tag them as they come in and clear them out of the way.
