I've had this issue constantly, as I have three separate accounts (work, personal gmail, and non-gmail google account). Lately, I had one of the worst situations though.
Coworker sent me an invitation to join a calendar. I click the link, it takes me to my personal gmail calendar page and pops up a dialog saying 'You don't have access to this!'.
I close the dialog, then click on the account change thing to switch over to my main account, and close the old tab. Click the link again. Opens my personal calendar again. I had to log out of everything then log into this account (all of this manually) before I could view the calendar.
Thankfully I didn't care enough and ignored the calendar invite.
- jmount 12y agoEmailed Google calendar invite is an even bigger bag of pain. They include two ".ics" attachments (one called "Mail Attachment.ics" and one called "invite.ics", leaving you wonder which one to use). If you try clicking the "Yes" in the email invite and you are not logged into the correct Google+ identity you get an HTML splash that says "Google Calendar invitations cannot be forwarded via email" (and no links to break out of that. If you load the ICS into iCal you can accept the meeting (and the sender seems to see that, so there must actually be no useful account based security in play). I thought about filming that one- but I don't want to go through those steps again. I think it is fair to evaluate Google tools in a mixed environment. To assume a pure-Google environment is to assume away all other options and choices.
