Using GMail to handle multiple email accounts
Tuesday, December 17, 2013 at 10:19AM Yesterday, I shared my thoughts on free e-mail services (like Yahoo) on Twitter. In short, Yahoo was one of the first e-mail services I signed up for (back in the ancient days of the World Wide Web), and as I moves from city to city (and from ISP to ISP), it was easy for me to simply keep all of my e-mail needs in once place. And, every year I stuck with Yahoo it became more and more difficult for me to move -- even though people would give me that look when I'd give them my e-mail address.
But recently, Yahoo's service has gotten so bad that even "free" was too high a price to pay. I was, frankly, unable to do simple functions such as downloading an attachment. It was time to move.
And if I was going to go through all this trouble, I was going to finally have an "@evil-inc.com" address. But, of course, I wanted to do this as inexpensively as possible.
Chances are, you can get e-mail addresses directly through your Web site's host. They're either included in the price you're paying for hosting or they're a cheap add-on.
However, if your host is like mine, the e-mail interface for this e-mail address is abysmal...

Creation of personal account is a helpful thing and it is helping people to keep their messages secure and whenever needed can share this with different friends. Considering about the official accounts then you can create a gmail account to handle multiple accounts. In small scale business also I have seen that they like t use gmail as their official account. I would like to suggest that better to use one account to access multiple accounts ,that might decrease the problem regarding the access of multiple account.
In the past I have used Google Apps for Business. It used to be $50 per person per year. With it you could link your e-mail account to your domain name. I have used my hosts e-mail tools in the past and have found it easier to use Google.
My apologies, folks. I left "on" the Comments function for the truncated Public version of this post (above).
