Syncing multiple Google accounts


docs.googleIt 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.

ActiveSync

It would be useful if there were an option included in all google accounts that lets you sync more easy. ActiveSync is a nice solution though.
I use the Hero for ofen work as well as for privat stuff.
Having multiple accounts is quite usefull.

Great feature Google!

This was definitely a much needed feature. Google now also allows us to link Google Accounts so we can see various advertising and Gmail accounts without having to login and log out. This is a great feature especially as a work at a company that provides life insurance quotes and I will definitely share this with my co-workers.

RE:Syncing multiple Google accounts

I do not think we will be able to see both accounts in G-talk at the same time. Though I have not tried this new idea of access the Google Apps mails via IMAP or POP3. Let us see.

In recent time I have visited at a top rated online casino. Hope you can also take a visit.

New Idea Will Work

If I use two different browser at the same time then we can see both the G-mail account, but it is absolutely impossible to see both accounts in G-talk at the same time. I do not think that the suggestion of importing the Google Apps will work smoothly. There can be a mess up with the mails. But the idea of access the Google Apps mails via IMAP or POP3 is a new one, I have not tried it yet. Thanks...
However I think it will not be so easy as online bingo games or win bingo prizes. But we can try it at least once. Good luck..

Some small but makes a difference

That's going to make life easier. Everyone's got multiple accounts, I have one for work and one for friends and one for junk mail sites that I sign up to and don't want to get crap emails.

9/10 from me!

I do however wonder if they is a push and pull function like the blackberry's ( Perfume). Would be nice to get updated emails by the second.

Come up with options

So we are yet to get an option to use 2 gtalks .Waiting for more.

multiple google accounts

It's a shame that android doesn't support multiple calendars. I share four calendars with my co-workers and it is a bit of a pain that I can only see them in one package when browsing via my computer.

The suggestion (by pop120) of using google sync might be a solution. Will definitely investigate it further. For now, I need to book my last minute hotel in uk before I get on the plane.

Syncing multiple Google accounts also helps Google Voice users to maintain access to their Google Apps contact list while using Google Voice within their Gmail account.
