GMail introduces Gmail Delegation – Grant access to Gmail Account

                 What is Email Delegation?
Assume that you have two Gmail accounts accountone@gmail.com and accounttwo@gmail.com. If you are signed in accountone@gmail.com and you want to access the emails of accounttwo@gmail.com then the only way is to sign out and re login to the second account or Open these two Gmail accounts on different browsers (for ex: Chrome and Firefox).

With Email Delegation feature from GMail, one can access both Gmail accounts from either of the Gmail account by adding the secondary Gmail account in the primary Gmail account. Below are the steps on How to achieve it…
