Best GMail Features – Use Multiple Accounts From Single Browser

GMail keeps popping in news every now and then and it has done it again. GMail has officially introduced another best GMail feature using which one can use multiple accounts at a time from the same browser. Once this feature is turned on then you will be able to login to two or more different GMail accounts from one single browser without having to sign out from the other account. Running two GMail accounts simultaneously isn’t a hassle now.

All that you got to do is turn on multiple sign-in from your accounts page and you are good to go.

• Click on Settings link on the top right corner from your GMail page.
• Click on Accounts and Import tab.
• From the Change account settings click on Google Account settings.
• A new page opens up where you can turn on/off the Multiple sign in feature.

Four important features on Multiple sing-in that one must understand are listed below:

• The account you’re currently using is displayed at the top of most Google product pages, or at the bottom of most pages on mobile devices. Always check to make sure you’re using the account you want.
• Not all Google products support multiple sign-in. When switching between Google products, the account you’re currently using may change.
• Google products not listed above will default to the first account that you signed in to using your current web browser session.
• Offline Mail and Offline Calendar will be disabled. You may lose any unsent mail.

Remember, that to sign into your second account from the same browser you cannot just go to www.gmail.com in another tab (or window) and sign in to the other account. You will again have to head towards the settings page and click on Sign in to another account. . . so that you can finally sign in to your second account. I have summarized the steps below the image to eradicate any confusions.

• Click on Settings link on the top right corner from your GMail page.
• Click on Accounts and Import tab.
• From the Change account settings click on Google Account settings.
• A new page opens up from where on the top right corner you will find the drop down menu that you see above.
