Gmail allows you to sign in to multiple accounts at the same time (in different tabs). I have two pinned tabs always open in Chrome - one for personal, one for business emails. Works incredibly well for me.
How does this work? If I sign out in one tab, it signs me out in another tab, on Google Chrome. Just tested it.

#142Just maxed my captcha failures and have to try again later. Either I'm going blind, I'm dumb, or their captcha is broken. Regardless, I hate captcha's -- there has to be a better way.

Here's how I do it using Google Chrome:
1. Sign in to personal Gmail by going to gmail.google.com 2. Sign in to work Gmail by going to mail.google.com/a/foo.com (obviously, replace foo.com with your work domain)

#144The reason Outlook is the world's most used mail client is because people are often forced to use it to access their company email. While anecdotal, I don't know a single person that uses outlook because they choose to. However, hopefully, outlook.com can introduce some innovation in the space, although, I'm skeptical as I am with most Microsoft 'innovation.'
Outlook, like all of office, is the default choice of pretty much anyone in a non-tech office setting. These programs aren't just "chosen", they are expected. The same way having a desk is expected.
Which is terrible. That's like everyone expecting their food to be bland and overcooked. It's almost Soviet in its depressingness.

Just click on your account name in gmail, hit add account at the bottom of the little menu, and bam more accounts in more tabs.

#146I don't see any reason as of yet to go back to my HoTmail. It still looks the same in the new outlook.com.

#147"Your password can't be longer than 16 characters." Well, it failed my test. Sorry. I never trust my emails to small hard to remember passwords. I rather trust them to very large easy to remember/type passwords. Like horses-functional-pickles Also their capcha, I cannot figure out it, i won't spend more than 2 minutes on capcha
Have you tried the audio version? It's even worse.

Every form if using a capcha should have another checkbox saying "I cannot figure out this stupid capcha and hence I am/can not going forward with this form. You lost a potential customer"

#149We haven't instantly forgotten how Microsoft handles Skydrive, have we?: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4265086 I think I'll pass on putting my email through their systems. Although I have to admit this looks way better than GMail. I hope this inspires Google to do something about their interface design.
I use my old mac.com and new me.com emails and it works beautifully. The iCloud mail interface as well as everything else about the experience is just great. Very, very little spam, lightning fast, no ads, integration with my iCal and therefore easily accessed from all of my devices. Gmail is good, but I find it's overrated.

Their captcha is _really_ frustrating. I spent well over 2 mins going through atleast 20 of them. This was the only ugly part of the new Outlook experience though.
