Does it annoy you to have to close out of one gmail account to login to another? There is a solution that allows you to have multiple gmail accounts open simultaneously.
Full details are here: http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=181599
In your gmail click on the “Account Settings” link from the drop down menu that appears when you click on your email address (top-right of your screen).
On the Account Settings page click on the “Edit” link beside Multiple Sign-in. Your multiple sign-in should show “Off” if you have not setup multiple sign-in.
Click on the “On” radio button, then read and check the boxes. Press “Save” at the bottom of the page.
Reload your gmail account. Copy the link in your address bar. Open a new tab in your Internet browser and paste the link, press enter.
You should now have two identical gmail windows open. On one of the tabs click your email address again to make the drop down menu appear. Click on the “Switch Account” link this time.
On this menu either choose your alternate email address or click on the “Sign in to another account…” link and enter your username and password credentials and then press “sign in”. NOTE: If you are signing into your ualberta gmail, you may have to go through the sign in process a couple of times. Its an annoying extra step but its worth being able to have your gmail and ualberta accounts open simultaneously. I would also suggest changing your theme colours for one of your email accounts, to distinguish easily between them.
Hope this procedure is straightforward, but if not please let me know or come see me and I can help you set up multiple accounts.
You will be able to open simultaneous Calendar and Documents gmail apps as well.
