I figured out that I was getting the message because of the Firefox extension Gmail Notifier. As long as you have that logged in, Gmail will give you the notice that the account is open in 1 other location. When you click for details you will see that the access type is Browser and the IP address/location is the same as yours.

Hey Brian,

Unfortunately, creating the same account with the same name will not keep all the archived.

Can you try logging into calendar.google.com using your username/pass. Does that work?

How about trying an email program (like Outlook for example) to download your emails to your computer. If you don’t have Outlook, try using the free Thunderbird Email program (from the makers of Firefox):

Let me know it that helps out.

i can log into my account, but it freezes when i try to open my e-mail or access anything else from there.. i tried changing my password but it didn’t work. my other gmail account works fine, so i know it’s not the browser.

my question though is if i delete my account, can i make a new account with the same address assuming i’m alright with losing all my archived e-mails?

Thanks JohnnyBoy and Eric for the awesome alternatives. I totally agree that having a free trial is critical because there are so many options out there with different features that some may like and others don’t

I would like to hear what others are using…

Cheers,
Hani

I am using for backup http://www.dmailer.com/dmailer-backup.html , i don’t say that mozy isn’t good but for all customers important is to let them use it for free at least for one time before they buy so they are aware of what they buy.
That’s why Dmailer caught my eye because is free and is also offering online storage up to 3gb for free accounts.

Here you can find a way to do that for every browser without any software or javascript just by editing a registry key.
