Hello Google. Thank you for all of the innovative changes you have made regarding g-mail. However, at this point in time I think g-mail sucks. I signed into a secondary e-mail from work on my personal computer for an e-mail address. For some reason, due to changes that were made by Google, my secondary e-mail from work is now my primary e-mail at home. I cannot sign into my personal account because the secondary e-mail shows as the primary and I would have to connect my personal account to it in order to open it up, and this is a problem. I tried to find a way to make changes, but there was no link to undo in tools or settings.

Did your R&D team fully investigate the ramifications and consequences of making this move? Think about this! If I changed jobs, I will lose personal account and my work account. Today, if I open up my personal e-mail account, with this new change, my personal e-mail account will be associated with work, and people at work will have the capability of reading them. I am not sure what would happen if I went to the local library and to check e-mails. What a nuisance and inconvenience that will be. I am absolutely positive there are people out there who have similar problems.

Due to the nature of my work, I frequently need to check my work e-mails at home, which I will be able to do this, but I cannot check my personal e-mail without making an association with work or buying another computer. Google has made life more complicated.

I am frustrated and I think this change is stupid, however innovate and helpful your R&D team may think it is. I am wary of individuals and companies who make changes in the pretense of it s for my good. Who really thought about the ramifications and consequences as they were figuring how to connect the whole world together? There are probably thousands of g-mail users who do not want to be connected for whatever reason, who do not want to have to go through this browser and that browser to get into different g-mail accounts, who do not want to be published, and do not want to be knowingly tracked. Many people just want to be able to sign into an e-mail account without associating it with other accounts or people.

In fact the brilliant and savvy computer literate people I know have already connected their e-mail accounts and their social networking accounts from Face Book to all of the many different social networking media programs out there in the world wide network a long time ago and do not need Google s too late on the scene help.

In my opinion, a g-mail account is no longer free if an individual s capability to manage their own accounts according to their needs is taken away. Also, there is no mechanism in the tools or settings to fix this problem. What, when, and how long will it be before your brilliant R&D team will fix this issue so we can be free, free at last from mingling our information with other accounts and people.
