Sure, there are plenty of browser add-ons and extensions that can enhance Gmail specifically, far beyond its original parameters. However, not every bit of power-user tech in Gmail requires special accessories. Plenty is possible without ever installing something extra. Mastering even a few settings will help you take full advantage of what Gmail has to offer beyond the basics. Let's get started. 1. Change It BackIf you're a Google super fan and have multiple Google/Gmail accounts (even a Google Workspace account from work), there's no need to sign in and out constantly. On the desktop (using Chrome, Firefox, or Edge), you can sign into multiple accounts at once. Each can occupy a tab and stay signed in. Click on your account avatar on the top right and select Add another account. Then, to switch between accounts, click your avatar again, and click the desired account; no password entry required. The default account is the one you signed in with first. You can also put the Chrome browser to work to keep your multiple accounts (or accounts for other people who use the computer) separate but usable(Opens in a new window) using Chrome Profiles. Click the profile icon at the upper right of your browser window, click the Pencil icon to give that Profile a name, then click Add at the bottom. You'll get a new Chrome Profile sign-in page to use here. 4. Add Third-Party Email Accounts to GmailDo you love the Gmail interface, but don't want to give up your Yahoo, iCloud, or Outlook email address? Not a problem. Google lets you add third-party email accounts to the Gmail mobile app, which brings Google features like spam filtering and a tabbed inbox to those accounts. You need to have at least one Gmail account first for it to work. To set it up on mobile, tap your avatar in the Gmail app and select Add another account. Pick the type of account you wish to add and enter the credentials. You can then access one inbox at a time, or see all your email in one unified inbox on your phone or tablet. Go back to the avatar and select Manage accounts on this device to deactivate or delete an account later. On the desktop, tap the gear icon and select See all settings > Accounts and Import > Check mail from other accounts > Add a mail account. In the pop-up window, type in the email address you want to link, click Next, and select Link account with Gmail. 5. Check Which Apps Have Access to GmailUsually, if you want to show someone an email you got, you'd just forward it. Simple. But that doesn't always work, and sometimes you might want to send a bunch of messages. Now you can. Check the box next to multiple messages, click the three-dot menu in the toolbar above, and select Forward as attachment. The compose window that pops up will have each individual message you checked off, attached as an EML file that the recipient can open in their own email client. Have you got too many Gmail accounts?
