multiNotifier – Notifications for multiple Gmail Accounts

By Sushovan Parida

"Can we open multiple Google Accounts in one browser at a time? " I asked one of my techno freak pals. "No!" came the answer.

In fact he was quite right, It's not possible to open multiple Google accounts in one browser at a time unless,

You have an Google Chrome extension called multiNotifier.

Actually I found this one while searching for a G-mail notifier. It actually is a notifier for Multiple Gmail Accounts and notifies you immediately as soon as you get a new mail!

So let's get started with this unique Chrome extension :

STEP 1 - Download and Install

Download multiNotifier and ADD TO CHROME.

STEP 2 - Configuration

Once installed you can see the following the mailbox like icon in the right top corner of your Chrome :

Right click on it and select Options. The following tab will open :

Configuration Guide :Name : This will show up for selecting the Gmail™ account when MultiNotifier extension is clicked. Your username will show up, if the Name is not provided.

Username : Your Gmail™ account user name. This is usually in the format of an email address.

Password : Your Gmail™ account password.

Desktop Notification (Optional): Enable this to display desktop notifications. Notifications are limited to 5 per account. Know more about desktop notifications here.

Label (Optional, available in advanced mode): Your Gmail™ inbox label can be specified, to narrow down the unread message search.Notification Frequency : Time interval in minutes, at which the unread count has to be updated.

Use Current tab : When enabled, the extension will load pages in the current active tab.

Play Sound : Select the sound to be played, when new email is recieved for any of the configured accounts.

Keep it running : Select this setting, if you want multiNotifier to show desktop notifications even when Chrome is closed. Chrome will launch multiNotifier at system startup and will keep it running. You can access multiNotifier settings from the system tray.Now Click "Save" to apply the changes. The unread counts will be reset. 



STEP 3 - Notifications and Gmail access

After configuring click on the multiNotifier icon at the right corner, you will find the following pop-up :Click on any account and you will be redirected to your Gmail account associated. 
Wait! there's more to it now click on another account in the pop-up and you are straight into another Gmail account!

So, now you are in two Google accounts at the same time in one browser!
Now what's more is that this extension has desktop notification, so even if you are not using chrome it will still notify you of new mails in multiple Gmail accounts.(of course! you need to be connected to internet for that) 

So get going with this awesome Chrome extension and get notifications as soon as you have a new mail in your inbox.
