One use case is searching multiple gmail accounts.
I often need to search for a message in my secondary account (I'm logged into my primary acct in Safari on my iPhone). Before this, the options were:
1. Log out of primary account and log into secondary account (laborious, especially if you use 2-step auth) and search in the gmail webapp.
2. Search using the iPhone mail app (awful).
(Makes me miss Android's native gmail app.)
Greplin searches both email accounts and tons of other useful stuff.

In the browser, we've had great luck with Google's multi-accounts feature: http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?answer=181599 http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?answer=...
- xyzzyz 15y agoGMail lets you setup mail forwarding of all incoming mails to a designated account and label them accordingly. It also lets you choose different email addresses to put in the From: header if you set this up. This way, you get all benefits of multiple accounts without all the hassle connected with signing in and out many times. I have _many_ different email addresses, but they all (except of the one at work, for obvious reasons) forward the mail to main one, which labels them for me to know their origin.
