This never used to be a problem before the latest Safari update:
When I try to open a window of the other Gmail account that I am logged into (multiple sign in), it always freezes close to the end of loading it. Really annoying. All the more reasons to use Chrome.
Always forced to use basic HTML mode but it has very limited functionality.

Use Reset on Safari menu to delete cookies and cache.
Thanks, but already tried that. In fact, I re-set Safari completely the second time.
No browser I know can open two seperate gmail accounts at the same time. I used to open one account in IE and the other in Chrome when I was using Windows OS. This is due to gmail's security settings.
I suggest you use the Mail app in checking your email. Its really easy to set up and you need not log in and out the way you do on a browser.

If you can access two accounts on the same computer but not with the same browser it is almost certainly caused by Google cookies (or equivalent) stored by the browser. To overcome this you would need a browser with two user identities which would probably be too difficult for the average user to set up.
I can see no reason for people accessing email with a browser, rather than a proper mail client, on their own computer.

Why are you replying if you don't know? Do you even use Gmail?
I clearly said: "This never used to be a problem before the latest Safari update", i.e., it worked before. I have been doing it for years. It stopped working after the latest Safari update.
A simple Google search would reveal that it is possible in Gmail: http://gmailblog.blogspot.co.uk/2010/08/access-two-gmail-accounts-at-once-in.htm l
I do not want to use Mail app for Gmail, as Gmail's web client is superior.

You also don't seem to know about the multiple sign in Gmail function.
Good for you if you don't see a reason for using the web client. But as I clearly stated this is something that I do. I wasn't asking for your opinion on why Mail is better than Gmail.
Very interesting Google link. Have you asked Google why you are having problems with the latest Safari? If it affects other Safari users I am sure they will know about it and be able to explain the issues to you.
I did not advocate Mail. My remark was about email clients in general. You could, for example, use your Gmail account with Thunderbird.
I don't know any outlets to "ask Google". Here I'm also not asking Apple. And it worked fine before Apple update, thus, Apple changed something.
Recently, at least since Steve Jobs died, Apple products are having way more bugs and problems like this.
woah great! Download Chrome then. Like Steve Jobs cares sabout gmail double login problem.
Yes I do use gmail by the way.
Steve Jobs cares? Present tense?
Download Chrome? I already have it, as I said in my very first post: "All the more reasons to use Chrome."

Hello,
I have the same problem. Used to work great in Safari. STopped working afew days ago. I also tried to reset Safari's cookies en cache but still a no go.
Has anyone experienced the same and is there a solution?
Thanks!

I'm having the same problem.
I have always been able to have my personal and work gmail accounts open at the same time in Chrome, but I switched to Safari because Chrome is really struggling lately on my laptop.
I have the same problem, wasn't a problem before but recently gmail hangs opening the second account. I reset the cookies/cache (under the Privacy tab) and it did allow me to sign in to the account that would hang --but then the previously working account experienced problems.
What is your objection to using a proper email client rather than the web?
I have the same issue, even if I upgraded to Safari 6 today. I seldom used Safari before, but after I purchased the new Retina MBP, Chrome did not support the Retina screen yet but Safari does, so I tried to switch to Safari. Does Apple care about their customers? Or because gmail belongs to google...
Cannot load 2 Gmail accounts at the same time in Safari (multiple sign-in)
