Syncing multiple Google accounts

Thu, 12/10/2009 - 03:32 | by akos

docs.google It is a more or less common situation, that someone has a private Google account, in which he or she uses the calendar. So when setting up Hero for the first time, this private Google account is entered. But what if we have an other Google account, for example a Google Apps account for business purposes? Can we work with both accounts seamlessly?

The answer for Hero is: partly. In case the private Google account is configured, there is no way to see both mail accounts in the GMail application as two separate accounts. It is possible to do some workaround to import the Google Apps account into the private one and flag the imported mails, but this is not really a convenient solution, as the mails will be mixed up also in the browser, where you could keep them separated easily. A second workaround could be to set up the HTC Mail app to access the Google Apps mails via IMAP or POP3.

With the Calendar the situation is not better either. However it is possible to share the calendars between the private and the business accounts, and you can enable or disable individual calendars on the phone, shared calendars do not show up on Hero. That means only the private calendar is displayed. The workaround here is to set up ActiveSync for the business account.

Regarding the Contacts the only workaround option is again to set up ActiveSync for Google Apps.

In Google Talk however, there is absolutely no way to handle both accounts.

We can expect some improvements with Android 2.0. As you can see on the screenshot, this version has built-in support for multiple accounts, but only for Mails and Contacts - Calendar and Talk will still be available for one account only.
