Manage multiple accounts

If you're juggling several email accounts, you can add them all to Shortwave and quickly switch between them. This is available for all users, even those on the Free plan. Additionally, the Shortwave Pro and Business plans allow you to share access to paid features across multiple accounts.

Multi-account pricing

The Pro plan supports up to 3 email accounts, while the Business plan supports up to 10. The Personal plan only supports a single @gmail.com or .edu account. See our pricing page for more details.

To share paid access with your other free accounts, log them into Shortwave on the same device as a paid account.

Unified inbox workarounds

• "Send as" aliases: Set up "Send as" aliases in Gmail to send emails from your secondary accounts while logged into your primary account.
