"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,"Can we open multiple Google Accounts in one browser at a time? " I asked one of my techno freak pals. "No!" came the answer.
You have an Google Chrome extension called multiNotifier.
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.

Sush...try "Ctrl+Shift+N" to open a new incognito window where u can open two gmail accounts simultaneously in Chrome...similarly In-Private browsing in Firefox...IE has also something like this...this mode is more helpful in CyberCafes... Another interesting thing is there in Gmail settings by which u can get all the mails from ur different mail ids on Gmail inbox itself...u are not at all required to sign into multiple accounts by visiting their websites...no matter it is of Gmail, hotmail, outlook or yahoo...
ReplyDeleteI proved ur 1st line wrong :P
DeleteBro I'm already aware about the Import feature of Gmail, and in the Incognito mode we have to open two different windows of the browsers, with this extension we can access multiple Gmail accounts in a single window while browsing other sites in different tabs. Again it provides Gmail notifications also. And thanks for proving me wrong, our readers will have more options now :)
Delete:) Soshobhan ur blog has nearly 3000 views but a very few people are commenting... Do something interesting to encourage people to post more comments :D
DeleteBro I don't know if you are aware of this, 3000 page views is a meagre number when it comes to blogging, popular blogs get this 3000 views in a single day. And for that it takes a long time, a lot of SEO and hundreds of posts. This blog has only 18 posts in 28days of active blogging, 3000 page views in 28days for a new blog is not that bad and I'm sure with more posts the blog will have more for the readers. So I'm not worried about the comments
