A G-mail Question?

My computer crashed and I lost all my programs. I really started over. I created a new gmail account with a new account name and pass word. I had some emails archived before the crash....now I need to retrieve the old archived gmails and I don't know how to get to them since there is NOT a "sign in as another user" like on yahoo. How do I get the old arcived emails? Your help will be greatly appreciated.

    Gmail messages are stored on Googe's servers. Go to the google.com main page. You should be able to sign out from there. Than og into your old account and you will be able to access your old emails.

    I don't know why you can't log on as a different user. Just sign out. Gmail will display a logon box. Log on as your former account. That isn't hard.

    Here is what to do (I assume GMail automatically signs you in when you go to get your e-mail online):

    Go Start>My Computer

    Right click on your main HDD and go:

    Properties>Tools

    Then click "Clean"

    Now you should be able to go to gmail.com and sign onto another e-mail account

    I hope this helps,
