Gmail User Accounts

[zingo1327]

I set up a gmail account for my wife on my computer. Different account name, password etc but when I went to send an email using my account it has disappeared. There is no log in box to enter my account name, password etc. it goes to an open mail page showing all my wifes emails. how do I switch accounts?? Thanks in advance

You've obviously got the Gmail account settings and/or browser settings configured so that your wife remains logged into Google on your computer. Therefore the only way to access your own account will be to log out from her account first. (Click on her photo, or photo icon, at the top right of the page and then on 'Sign out').

If either of you wants to access Gmail without remaining logged in after you've finished, do so in incognito mode. That will provide you with a new window, which you can close as soon as you've finished what you're doing. You can also have two private windows open at once, so that (as long as you don't close a window) you can both be logged into Google/Gmail simultaneously. These instructions are for Chrome but most other browsers work in a similar way too: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95464?hl=en-GB&co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop

I think if she signs out of her account each time you will see both accounts on the page ready for you to log in again. This happens if I go to my dad's and wantvto send an email if he hasn't logged out of his first.

Hi guys. I can't find a log out option anywhere. Top right of page has "pocket" "app menu" "support" "google apps" and a letter M which is my wifes name.. No photo or photo icon. Right clicking M doesn't offer the option of logging out..Could it be something to do with Firefox trying to over rule Google? It seems that Firefox is now my home internet opening screen and the option of making Google my home opening screen has gone,,,if that makes any sense to you.

It is along the top on a navy blue bar. It is at the very top right with the "search" button just before it.

The circle with letter for my name is where I click to lower menu for sign out, but I do not right click on it. Have you tried left click? This might lower the menu. Hope you get sorted.

top right there will be a circle with a letter in it. Click that and either log out or switch account.

Tackling the last bit of your post first:

You can configure Firefox to use any web address you like as your home page. To have Firefox open with Google, first (with only one tab open) go to https://www.google.co.uk . Then click the three lines at the top right of your screen, followed by 'Settings' and then 'Home'.

Click in the drop-down box next to 'Homepage and new windows'.
Select 'Custom URLs'.
Click 'Use Current Pages'.

(Left-)clicking the 'M' at the top right of the page should bring up a 'Sign Out' option, just like the one I see when I click on 'C':
