Accessing Multiple Gmail Accounts Now Easier to Manage

Have multiple Gmail Accounts? Well Google announced a new Gmail feature today, called e-mail delegation. The new feature will allow you to easily manage multiple Gmail accounts without signing in and out of Gmail to switch accounts. 

Originally, e-mail delegation was made primarily for personal assistants and the likes. Now with the latest changes, the feature is useful to any Gmail user with multiple accounts of his or her own.

If you want to use this great feature, just sign into your primary Gmail account then grant access to your other Gmail accounts. Click "settings" in the top right corner of Gmail's web interface. Under the "Accounts and Import" tab, there's now a new section entitled, "Grant access to your account." Here, you can add any other Gmail accounts you control to your primary Gmail account.

When you add an account, you'll have to accept access from a verification e-mail sent to the to-be-added account. Once the account is successfully added, you can simply toggle between your Gmail accounts without logging in and out. You can see the toggle beside the settings tab. You do have to wait for few hours for the toggle to take effect and be seen.

Here is a short video on how to set up "Gmail Delegation" for multiple Gmail Accounts
