# Manage Multiple Email Accounts

> Connect multiple Gmail accounts, use the All unified view, configure per-inbox labels, and compose from different accounts.

Connect all your Gmail accounts in one place. Each gets its own labels, settings, and automations, but you manage everything from a single interface.

<Tip>Most users connect 2-3 accounts (work + personal). Slashy supports up to 10 connected Gmail accounts with full AI features on each.</Tip>

## Connect Additional Accounts

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Account settings">
    Go to **Settings > Account** (`Cmd+,`).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add account">
    Click **Add Account** under Connected Accounts.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authorize with Google">
    Sign in with Google and grant the same permissions as your first account.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Wait for sync">
    Initial sync takes 2-15 minutes depending on inbox size. Labels and importance classification begin automatically.
  </Step>
</Steps>

</Frame>

## Switch Accounts

`Alt+1` through `Alt+9` switch between accounts. `Alt+0` switches to the **All** unified view.

## The "All" Unified View

Press `Alt+0` to merge all inboxes into a single chronological stream. Useful for morning triage and catching emails across accounts. Each thread shows which account it belongs to.

## Per-Inbox Configuration

Each connected account has its own:

* **Importance labels** -- work account uses Client/Internal, personal uses Family/Shopping
* **Automations** -- work gets meeting prep and VIP alerts, personal gets receipt forwarding
* **AI memories** -- different context per account
* **Unsubscribe and block lists**

Switch to the target account first, then open **Settings > Labels** to configure.

## Composing from Different Accounts

When composing (`c`), the **From** dropdown lets you choose which account to send from. Replies auto-select the account that received the email.

<Warning>Always check the **From** field before sending. New emails default to the account you last viewed, not necessarily the one you intend to send from.</Warning>

## Separate vs. Merged Behavior

| Feature           | Behavior                               |
| ----------------- | -------------------------------------- |
| Inbox threads     | Separate (merged in All view)          |
| Importance labels | Separate per account                   |
| Automations       | Separate per account                   |
| AI memories       | Separate, but agent can access all     |
| Calendar          | All calendars visible together         |
| AI agent sidebar  | Shared -- searches across all accounts |
| Snippets & Tasks  | Shared                                 |

## Best Practices

* **Keep label names distinct** across accounts to avoid confusion
* **Set up separate automations** per account (meeting prep for work, receipts for personal)
* **Glance at the From field** before sending to confirm the right account
* **Add account-specific memories:** *"My work email is CEO of a startup. Professional and concise."*

<Tip>The AI agent can search across all accounts simultaneously. Ask: *"Did anyone from Sequoia email either of my accounts this week?"* and it checks everything.</Tip>
