Use several Gmail inboxes in one email client

How do you switch between Gmail accounts?

With two or more accounts, a tab bar sits above the app: each account has a tab with its unread count, and you can drag the tabs into your order. The keyboard works too: Ctrl plus 1 to 9 jumps to an account, and Ctrl plus 0 finds an inbox by name. The tab bar shows in a window at least 900 pixels wide.

Each account is its own mailbox with its own splits, so Priority, Calendar and Other can differ per inbox. Colours (eight tones), the signature, always-Cc and Bcc addresses, and the send-as aliases Gmail knows about are all set per account. Replies go out from the address the mail was sent to unless you switch that off.

What does the All inboxes view show?

All inboxes shows the Priority mail of every account in one list, newest first, each row marked with its account's colour. It is the real-people split only: your other splits, the Screener and each account's Other mail stay in their own tabs. Hidden accounts, accounts paused by your plan and delegated accounts are left out. Actions on a row go to the account that row belongs to.

Search works across accounts with a toggle in the search box, using Gmail's operators. The unread count on the app icon adds up the inboxes you choose, and any inbox can opt out of it, or be muted, from its settings. For the plain Gmail route, see how to add another Gmail account and switch between them.

What can you set for each inbox?

• Colour, tab order and the Ctrl-number shortcut.
• Signature: your typed override, otherwise the signature from Gmail.
• Always Cc and Bcc, and which send-as address to reply from.
• Notifications, the app-icon count, the daily briefing and meeting alerts, plus a Quiet this inbox switch.
• The assistant, which is switched on per account, and its rules, which can be for one account or all of them.

You can also put inboxes side by side in panes: up to 10 at once, each at least 320 pixels wide.

How many inboxes do the plans include?

When a trial or a plan ends, your first inbox stays active and the others are paused, not deleted. They switch back on when you upgrade. An agent can reach every inbox at once through the Gmail MCP connector.
