Multiple Accounts in Gmail

Many Web4u customers own or operate more than one business or organization. Having more than one organization often means more than one website, business card, and yes, e-mail address. It's very professional to have your e-mail address end with @yourcompany.com as opposed to @gmail.com. But, having multiple e-mail addresses can be difficult to manage, so many people result to just using one address. However, this compromises the professionalism of your e-mails matching your business name.

The hard and old solution is to open up different e-mail accounts when you want to send an e-mail from a specific address. A better solutions is a program like Microsoft Outlook, but this is not perfect becuase Outlook runs on your computer, which you may not always have with you, especially if you run more than one business.

So, what is the contemporary, fast, and mobile solution? The answer is multiple accounts inside Gmail. If you already have a gmail account, click on settings on the top right of the screen. Then select "accounts", followed by "add e-mail address". After filling out the details of your second e-mail address, gmail will send a verification code to that "new" or "other" e-mail address. Check that other address and obtain the verification code. Enter the code into the first gmail verification code box. Once you do this, gmail believes that you do in fact have control of the new e-mail address and will not allow you to "send" e-mail from that address. To do this, select the drop down arrow or the word "change" next to the "from" field when you are writing an e-mail. This way, you can send e-mails from any of your gmail accounts. There appears to be no reasonable limit to how many addresses you can be running through gmail.

How do you check your other accounts? Make sure your other accounts are now forwarded to your main gmail account. By doing this, you will now only need to login into gmail to send and receive e-mail from any of your multiple accounts. You will have 6GB of storage, so just "archive" don't delete. You also have access to all this anywhere in the world that you can access www.gmail.com. It's quite a powerful tool. Just remember to change your "from" address when it applies.
