My Google account, which I use for all kinds of things from commenting on YouTube, making purchases on my Android phone etc, uses my Yahoo mail address I've had since Yahoo upgraded storage to 2 megabytes, double what Hotmail had.

I do not use Gmail with that Google account.

I also have a Gmail account which has a @gmail.com address, used only for email.

The problem I have is whenever I need to do a clean install of a web browser, I cannot remember how to get logged in to *both accounts* simultaneously so that going to gmail.com takes me to my @gmail.com email while everything else in the googlesphere uses my @yahoo.com address with my google account.

How does one end up in this situation? When you get involved with Google stuff prior to the 2004 launch of Gmail and resist getting a Gmail account for quite a while, yet before Google started attempting to force all Google accounts to have a gmail address as the primary email.

I have this split setup in Chrome and I want it back in Firefox.

Why can't going to gmail.com simply present a normal login where people enter their gmail.com address and password *so they can get their email*?

Instead Google wants to try and force me to add Gmail to my Google account and make my Yahoo address an alternate on the account, or create a new Google account with Gmail.

My answer is NEITHER! I just want to get into my Google-account-less Gmail that I already have.

I know this is probably a dumb question, but hear me out. At my school we are administered school Chromebooks. We all have our own school email that we use to login to them and access our accounts, etc.

The problem is I cannot login to my personal Gmail account because it doesn’t have my school’s domain name in the address. This is really aggravating as it prevents me from getting work done, like going through my emails.

If there’s any service that can bypass this issue please let me know!
