I use mozilla for both browsing and pop-email to gmail.
Then, you can also use the alternates: firefox (you already know) and
thunderbird.
Both pop-clients can perfectly handle multiple pop accounts. I donnot
know if thunderbird can access secure-pop as needed for gmail, it did
not last time I checked (which is quite a while ago).

Right now, I'm signed in to 7 Gmail accounts, and I get notifications
for new mails at any of them!!

personal preference. I think GMail works perfectly with Firefox!

stopped working on it because of the FF project).

Firefox, reopened Firefox open one gmail account, opened a new Firefox
tab, fired up another gmail and it immediately loaded with the 1st
gmail account. I logged out of this and reopened my 2nd gmail account
and then went bakc to the 1st Firefox tab and got a message "Your
Gmail account has been signed out." I tried this in two separate
Firefox browsers as well with the same result! Have I missed a step
here?

why don't you use poppeeper ? www.poppeeper.com
this program can read as many mailboxes as you like
plus you can decide from which mailbox you like to reply
take care

but can switch easily from one to another by choosing the account from
Gmail Manager's Dropdown list, and then clicking on it.
By Default, Gmail manager keeps an icon in the status bar, but i prefer
the top menu bar. For this, you can right-click on an empt space in the
menu bar, ( after the Help menu ) and choose 'Customize Toolbar'. Then,
drag & drop the big red gmail icon ( M ) into the toolbar.
I suppose you want to copy-paste text from one account to another, for
which you want both to be signed in. This can be done through tabs, you
can figure out how ;-)

better than what I am doing now.....
1. I can't see/find Gmail Manager's Dropdown list. I have "| New
features! | Settings | Help | Sign out" across the top but mind you I
just cut and past "| Settings | Help | Sign out" from my screen but see
here hat it has added "New features!" which must be hidden on my
screen....any other hidden secrets google? The other things I have
across the top are Archive, Report Spam, Delete buttons, a More Actions
drop down box and a Refresh link.
2. I'm totally lost with your second comment "By Default, Gmail manager
keeps an icon in the status bar, but i prefer the top menu bar. For
this, you can right-click on an empt space in the menu bar, ( after the
menu ) and choose 'Customize Toolbar'. Then, drag & drop the big red
gmail icon ( M ) into the toolbar." Which staus bar? Which menu? Top,
bottom, sidebar I just can't find the things that you are talking
about.
Thanks for your patience

You're refering to GMail's menu's... he was talking about the Firefox
menus created by the GMail Manager (an extension I don't use, so I
can't help much on it specifically).
The status bar is the bar at the bottom of Firefox which contains
things like the word "Done" (cause my page is loaded), I also have
"mail.google.com" with a lock cause I'm in https; a monkey face, cause
I use GreaseMonkey, and "Adblock" since I use that extension as well.
The top menu bar is the one with the back, forward, reload, stop, home
and address bar, possibly even search bar (I turned mine off in favor
of the Google Toolbar).
Hope this helps,
Zack

Sally, you already have downloaded Gmail Manager Extension, but it
seems you have confused the extension with Gmail itself!
The Extension will give a drop-down menu if you use the 'Customize
Toolbar' option to add the red 'M' icon to the main toolbar ( I have
placed it just above the search-box of Firefox ).
If you need further clarification, you can mail me at
seriouslyitsme#gmail.com (replace # with @ ).

As Zack rightly said, I was previously looking at gmail's menues and
not Firefox... Aha now looking at the status bar I see a capital M at
bottom right hand corner of Firefox window. Mouseover says click here
to add acount. Now this M was probably there all the time from my
several previous attempts, but anyway it's there now. I clicked on this
M and OMG, so many options. I tried the Help but that fired up some
form! So I added my two accounts, seemed a logical thing to do. Gosh so
much time has elapsed since I started all this that for a moment I'd
forgotten what the goal was...lol. Anyway I then closed this window (by
pressing OK) and found that left mouse clicking repeatedly opened a new
tabbed page with the same gmail account, not what I wanted!! Aha right
clicking displays that previously elusive drop down menu (in my case
drop up).....Phew ok I just have to play with all this a bit I guess.
Any things to watch out for or nifty tricks that I should know? It sure
does all seem so much more powerful than how I was doing it before,
using the account settings to forward copies of incoming emails
received from one account to the other. So now I can be much more
efficient. BTW every now and then a small gmail message window flies up
form the bottom right-handcorner of the screen and I don't know what to
do with it! Is this just awarning or can I do something nifty with it?
Gosh, guys, HackerOfMinds, Zack thanks heaps for your patience with me.
I am truly indebted.

In your Pop-Up, the different accounts will be listed, if you have
added them correctly. If not, you can add by,
1. Right-Click on the 'M' in the statusbar, choose 'preferences'
2. Click on 'Add' button near top end of the Preferences window which
opens up
3. Type-in the Username, Password and check both the checkboxes, press
OK
4. Repeat steps 2 & 3 for all your accounts
5. Check all checkboxes in all tabs in the preferences window, if you
aren't sure what all to choose.
Now, whenever you want to switch to another account, right-click the
'M' and choose the account you want, and then click the 'M' to open
gmail tab for that account.
The small message that you see is probably notification of new mail
arriving in one of your accounts. If you have done Step 5, that
notification will be clickable - that means if you click it, the
message will open in a new tab.
chicalert
can switch from one to the other without having to login or oout ?
chicalert
1. I open one of my two accounts.
2. Read a message no problem
3. Use Capital-M thingo and open my second account (in a new tab) and
read a message no problem
4. Go to the 1st tab and try to open a message in my first account and
get
"Your Gmail account has been signed out."
Can't I have both accounts open at the same time? I thought that this
was the wholepurpose of all this! Or am I still doing something wrong?
So how is it best to use this I mean is it juts a qucik way to open?

cloest I find is propereties. I am using firefox. What am I doing
wrong?

Despite having multiple tabs, you're still running one browser, so
they have only one set of cookies, which GMail uses to control your
browser session, so when you logged into the other account in a second
tab, that cookie replaced the one for the first window.
I've heard of firefox extensions that let each tab have it's own set
of cookies. This should allow you to do what you want. That or use a
different browser (like IE) on the second account. That is what I do,
since I don't use my second account that much.

Please give a try to my firefox extension giving you the possibility of
~different cookie sets on different tabs. Although it continue to need
more tweaking you can open multiple gmail accounts one on each tab. The
reordering and closing of tabs must be enforced on future versions.

time, in two tabs.
The closest thing you can do is when you need to copy some text from
one account ( or, say, reply to a message to one id from the other id
), you can open the mail in the first account, then use 'gmail manager'
to open the composer in the second id. Now, you can switch to the older
tab to copy (or view) stuff in the mail, and switch to second to
compose. But as soon as you click any link i the first tab, you'll be
logged out.
The 'Separate Cookies for separate tabs' idea can be helpful. Good luck
to people developing such extensions.

chicalert, u can try this 2 options:
1)open 1 account in Firefox and another one in IE.
2) forward all email from 1 account to the other one and keep the last
one always open. Set the account u always keep open to send email on
behalf of the first one.
Both of them are a good workaround for the the problem.
