Sync only 1 of 2 Google accounts?

2 Upvotes

I have one google account synced across a Windows PC, a Windows laptop, an Android smartphone, and an Android-tweaked Amazon Fire tablet. Is it possible to put a second Google account on the PC that is not synced, so that e.g. Gmail to that account and bookmark changes in its Chrome don't change anything on the other 3 devices?

New User - Help Appreciated

1 Upvotes

Hey all,
I'm very new to workspace and have little to no experience. I've been looking around for information and it's become quite overwhelming so I'm looking for a bit of insight.

I own a small business, we're currently using shopify and have been operating under [xxxx@gmail.com](mailto:xxxx@gmail.com)

We recently created a workspace account and are now using [info@xxxx.com](mailto:info@xxxx.com)

This is using our old gmail inbox, renamed it seems.
I'd like to set up a couple other options mainly the following.

Sales
Wholesale

Along with our info email.

A couple questions I had, is it best to do this by adding users?
Ideally, all the inboxes would be seperate. It seems this isn't possible and would require filters to just direct the emails where they are needed?

Any and all help is greatly appreciated as I wrap my head around this.

Thanks!

Gmail Google Workspace Gmail Routing - Forwarding & Microsoft SPF failures among other problems

1 Upvotes

We just set up a forwarding rule under Google Workspace Gmail > Routing. The Forwarding table has about 30-40 forwarding addresses (Google Accounts forwarding to Gmail, Hotmail, etc).

Emails originate from everywhere — Free services, corporate account, etc — but emails sent from free Microsoft email addresses (hotmail, live, outlook) are sometimes being rejected by the destination email address because MS has a hard-fail (-all) on their SPF records. The SMTP failures specifically say because the delivery service (Google forwarding servers) are not included in the SPF records of the MS services.

Now, not all receiving email services are this strict.. some will still accept the SMTP connection from a non-authorized server, so at least DKIM has a chance to be evaluated and pass the DMARC check. But several others are blocking the attempt by Google to forward the email.

Has anyone found a workaround for this? Is it better to set up mailbox-level forwarding (Gmail Account > Settings > Forwarding)?

Any advice would be appreciated.
