    It is not possible to sync with two separate gmail accounts

    @obelix30 has this been implemented yet? I am trying to add my second gmail account and do not see the option. I am currently on release 3.10.98

    It is not yet implemented and I do not think it will be implemented soon.

    I am running 3.11.9. Very nice and useful tool. Thanks!

    To test multiple account support, I created two profiles. If I start GCSM in either of the two profiles, it can and will sync between the Outlook and Google contacts and appointments for that profile.
    But if I start GCSM in one profile, and switch to the other profile, it does not list a Google Appointment folder. The field is blank, and so the sync button is grayed out, and auto-sync fails with an error that no appointment folder was specified.
    So if I want to sync that profile, I need to exit and restart GCSM, and then all fields are correctly filled in, and it syncs that profile correctly.
    But my guess is that - even if the Google Appointment folder was correctly filled in when switching profiles - GCSM would only sync the profile selected; not both profiles.

    Does this sound like the behavior you'd expect given the present state of the software?

    If so, do you think it would work if I installed GCSM twice - into two different folders. Then I could create a single profile for each installation, start each of them up, and let them sync independently from each other. Might this work as a workaround for the currently incomplete support for multiple accounts?

    Thanks,
    Dennis

    Hmm... Doesn't look like that would work either. The installer doesn't let me specify a folder to install into. I don't suppose there is an undocumented config file that controls the installer that I could modify? :-)

    Even if you overcome problems you described, later there will be another issues, feature to synchronize 2 google accounts into 1 outlook is not implemented.
