Is it possible to set up my iGoogle page to display mail from multiple Gmail accounts?

I now have 4 or 5 Gmail accounts which I access several times a day. I'm able to stay logged in to them all, but it's still a bit of a pain to have to open each account in a different tab. I use the iGoogle for one of the accounts as my home page - is there some way I can set up all 5 Gmail accounts to display on this one iGoogle page?

Thanks!

Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

There are a couple different ways of doing this and also accomplishing what you want to do here.

However first i would like to touch base on the ultimate goal of your question.

Basically you want:
Communications and contacts in one window.
Plugins and search functions as well.

If i might humbly make a suggestion of a service i have been a user of for the past four years.

- Zenbe (Its NOT free.)

Zenbe is the most powerful tool in my arsenal of web tools, on the outside it looks meak and humble but it has some incredible functionality and speed buried deep in its core.

Its one of the only 2 services i have ever used or paid for as far as applications go.

A few other options you have.

- GMail Tags

Settup a new GMAIL account . Set the spam filter controls never to move any mail to spam by setting a ambiguous new filter rule. And tagging all of the mail that comes into the new GMAIL account by each individual of your 5 email account address's.

That would certainly do the trick. The tags would be displayed in iGoogle perfectly and you wouldn't have to worry about any mail getting sent to the spam folder.
You can also do this in the main accounts themselves.

Let me know if you need any help on the specifics of this task.

I certainly don't want to pay for anything. Freeeeee please!

Forwarding everything to one account isn't a bad idea, but I'd also like to have everything split out into it's individual accounts. I don't care about any other functionality, as I use Trillian for most of that, and if I need to search, I have a search bar. Ultimately, if you look at the iGoogle page now, I'd like to have one mail box for each of my 5 accounts.

I'll probably end up using the tags if nothing else works. Thanks for the idea!

YOU KNOW WHAT!

I thought the same way once !

Then i realized, throwing a couple bucks a month (in this case 3$) at a few grass roots services like this one to ensure peace of mind is really more than worth it. If you want to go further up the ladder there is also bluetie. Both work with domains as well.

Trillian Astra is incredible, it was that second software app i didn't mention.
Astra 5 is coming out soon too, as well as a android application ! :D

You might also want to try the following things.

SRWare IRON (which is based on chrome)

And the following extension along with it.
https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/kccmgbhadhoenmkhhcgapaidjghakigc

Combined they are an unstoppable team, without a doubt i would grab the portable version and rename the folders & files to match chrome.
Browsing google services in chromium or a chromium port is like night and day when it comes to speed. Even with a bunch of extensions enabled.

Back to your question,

Checkout google labs too, they have a great deal of new things i haven't even really dissected yet for both GMAIL and iGoogle.
They also have from what i remember a "any gadget" lab that lets you use your own gadgets in iGoogle and on the gmail inbox page.

I'd also be interested to see what your iGoogle page looks like :) ??????
