    I see nothing in their terms of service - Google Terms of Service - which says you can't. I have multiple accounts myself.

    In addition to having multiple individual accounts, you can use the + trick to have multiple email addresses on one account.

    mgkimsal@gmail.com
    mgkimsal+1@gmail.com
    mgkimsal+sitename@gmail.com

    all go to my main mgkimsal@gmail.com account. Many people use this for giving site-specific emails to registration-based sites, and can easily tell if that email address has been sold or given out. Some sites don't allow a + in an address, so it's not a trick you can use on every site, but most sites allow it.

      Hey thanks. The reason I ask is that I couldn't find anything in their TOS.

      You can have as many of them as you want.

      Additionally, you can create many variations of the one email address.

      For example, if your email is email@gmail.com then you can also use e.mail@gmail.com, em.ail@gmail.com, ema.il@gmail.com, etc, etc.

            I have about seven or eight myself

            I didn't know about the plus sign trick, but I've got different accounts that have the same name but a different number at the end; like email@gmail.com, email1@gmail.com and so on. Never got any problems.

  • I also have more than one account for over a year and like someone else stated, you can have several different email addresses or forwarded to your main one. and when you send an email there is a pull down menu asking which email address you want your message to come from.

    You can have more than 1 Gmail account, but when opening a Gmail account you are required to verify your account through a text message to your phone. I think the limit is 5 per cell phone number.

    I was about to ask the same question in regards to multiple Gmail accounts, I was also going to ask is there a way of logging in to your main Gmail account and also getting say your sub / other accounts mail i.e.

    Log in to main at gmail. com

    and then you can also see

    main1 at gmail. com
    main2 at gmail. com

    Sorry if I should have posted this as a new question please feel free to move it

    You certainly can have more than 1 gmail account, I've been using 2 gmail accounts for the past so many months. Just use different browser to login to different gmail accounts.

    Hope this will you help a little.

    God Bless,

    I have many! And the great thing is, you can be logged into multiple accounts at the same time within the same browser session. Once you've signed up for another account, check out your Gmail's option menu and you'll be able to set it up do allow multiple logins.

    I've even noticed that when I sign out of a Gmail acct., it gives me the option to "sign out and sign in as a different user," so that sounds to me like they almost assume you have separate accts.
