Chrome Extension Manages Multiple Gmail Inboxes For You

I've got a few different email accounts that I use. Some get funneled into the same Gmail account, but others I like to keep completely separate. When I need to access one of the other accounts, I'll just use a different browser, so that I'm not getting logged out of all of my other Google services. However, there's now an easier way to manage multiple Gmail accounts.

If you find yourself in a similar situation, there is an easy fix. Sadly, it's not anything official from Google. Instead, it's a handy extension for Chrome that will let you manage multiple email accounts, without messing with all of your other Google services.

All you need to do is download Checker Plus for Gmail, and log into your various email accounts. Once that's done, you'll see a new sidebar that contains a running tally of unread emails in each one. You can then open, read, reply, and draft new emails right from there.

There are lots of customizable options, including a few that you'll need to donate to the author, to unlock. You'll be able to add new skins, themes, and even special sounds that play when specific people email you.
