bar.

You can synchronize contacts, email, and other information on your mobile phone
with multiple Google accounts or other kinds of accounts, depending on the
applications installed on your mobile phone.
For example, you can start by adding your personal Google account, so your
personal email, contacts, and calendar are always available. You could then add a
work account, so your work-related emails and work contacts are handy. If you like,
you may add multiple Google accounts or other accounts.
