For the boring practicalities of using multiple accounts, for those on OSX I can heartily recommend Mailplane. It's the only thing that allows me to maintain my sanity.
As to whether conceptually I should be using two accounts - I think I'll have to try it first with one to see how it might work in a professional setting. Sadly, Google as yet doesn't let me.
- tnorthcutt 15y agoYeah, there are easy ways to get around the multiple sign-in issue (use a desktop client, use multiple browsers, etc.), but it's that second part I'm most interested in - how to deal with this conceptually. Unfortunately, that's also the more difficult problem :).
- chalst 15y agoThe one of many ways I chose was to use different accounts to switch between desktops & browsers. Sharing data between different logins takes a bit of work to setup, but once this is done I have found it pleasing to switch between "work mode" and "nonwork mode". An ineradicatable nuisance about doing things this way: one thing you can't share is your clipboard, at least not with OSX or X windows.
