# How Many Gmail Accounts Can You Have

There's no official limit to the number of Gmail accounts you can create. However, Google may require phone verification for new accounts, and one phone number can only be linked to a limited number of accounts.

[Missive](https://missiveapp.com) lets you add unlimited Gmail accounts to manage all your email in one place. Whether you have personal accounts, work accounts, or accounts for different projects, you can access them all from Missive's unified inbox.

## Google's account limits

While Google doesn't publish an exact limit, here's what to expect:

* **Phone verification** - Google may ask you to verify new accounts with a phone number
* **Phone number limits** - One phone number can typically verify 4-5 accounts
* **Activity requirements** - Inactive accounts may be deleted after extended periods

## Gmail accounts in Missive

In Missive, you can connect as many Gmail accounts as you need:

* **Personal accounts** - Private accounts visible only to you
* **Shared accounts** - Team email accounts accessible to your organization

Each account type has different pricing:

* **Personal accounts** - All paid plans include 10 personal accounts. The Free plan allows 2.
* **Shared accounts** - Each user contributes 5 shared accounts to your organization's pool. For example, a 10-user organization can connect 50 shared accounts at no extra charge. Need more? Additional shared accounts are $15/month per 5 accounts. See the [Billing FAQ](https://missiveapp.com/docs/administration/billing-and-plans/faq#how-many-shared-accounts-can-i-connect) for details.

## Adding Gmail accounts to Missive

1. Go to **Settings** > **Accounts**
2. Click **Add account**
3. Select **Google**
4. Sign in with your Gmail credentials
5. Grant Missive permission to access your email

Repeat for each Gmail account you want to add.
