Now that we’re switching to Google for emails, here’s how to get access Gmail
1. Signing into Gmail
To log into gmail and start accessing your email, go to https://mail.google.com
You’ll be brought to a page where you will be able to sign in. Sign in with your new email address and click next (Image 1), then enter your password on the next page (Image 2). This will take you to your new inbox.
You may get a few pop ups on first opening. One will be about ‘smart features’. This is an optional feature you can use, so read through it and see if it’s something you would like to have. If it is, turn them on. If not, feel free to click turn off.
After this, you’ll be logged into Gmail and you should be able to see all of your emails.

2. Adding multiple accounts
Some of you will have multiple emails that you manage during the day. You will still be able to do this but the way you manage them will change. Instead of having a list of emails on the left hand side like we did in Outlook, you will now have multiple profiles that you switch between on Google Chrome.
To sign in with another profile, click the round icon in the top right hand side of the Google Chrome browser. In the drop down box. click ‘Add’. (Image 3)
This will bring up a new window for you to sign into Google Chrome with. Sign in with the email you want to monitor, and go through the steps on the pages following. Once you get to a page that asks if you would like to sync, click Yes. This will ensure that if you ever move desks and computers, your accounts will follow you when you sign into google again.

To switch between multiple accounts, click the circle icon in the top right hand corner and select the profile you want to switch to. This will log you into that account and you will be able to access the calendars and inbox for that account
