anyone know how to add a 2nd gmail account to an Android phone?

[rudeguy]

I have a 2nd gmail account that I use for ordering from sites that I don't trust not to spam me. Anyone know of a way to set up the email client in android 1.6 to check multiple gmail accounts? Or is there an app that will do this neatly?

I'm running 2.0 and I have it synced to 4 gmail accounts, an exchange account, and hotmail.

For me you:
open the gmail app
hit the menu soft-key
hit the "add-account" button
and that's about it.

sorry if this doesn't work in 1.6

Or if not just use the regular email client and enable IMAP on that gmail account.

it's as easy as deputc26 says. at least on android 2.1 but i'd guess for a lot more versions.

This feature was added in 2.0, so if you're running something like a Hero or G1, it won't work - but you can do what deputc26 said, or go menu->settings->Accounts & Sync->Add Account.

You also can add gmail accounts in the standard email app.
