Just checked the TOS...it doesn't appear that it's an outright violation to have multiple GMail accounts:

https://mail.google.com/mail/help/intl/en/program_policies.h...

>> Create multiple user accounts in connection with any violation of the Agreement or create user accounts by automated means or under false or fraudulent pretenses

Also, Google gives you the option of managing multiple Google identities from one account.



Yes, I believe you are right -- I can't find any general restrictions against multiple accounts, or service "subscriptions" either. I seem to recall things were different a while back. Now you can apparently create as many google logins as you like, and associate them with (among other services) gmail.

But, after a few minutes of searching, I can't find any actual promises that google will keep neither your logins, nor your services (eg: gmail) operating -- for any reason.

I guess this is worse if you actually pay them money (did they finally come up with a QOS-statement for paid accounts?)...
