Hi,

Before the multiple signin feature, there were lots of blog posts written 
about being able to permalink to a specific message by copying the URL:

http://www.labnol.org/internet/gmail-emails-have-permanent-web-address/6811/
http://email.about.com/od/gmailtips/qt/et020606.htm

But the multiple signin feature now distinguishes between the three 
possible accounts with just an index, which is dependent on the order in 
which you signed into them:

https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/1/
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/2/

Thus, gmail URLs only work if the index stays the same. If the index is 
different, the permalink silently fails. e.g.:

https://mail.google.com/mail/u/1/#all/13b3e6531c3498f3

Will load the inbox unless the message with that ID actually exists for 
whatever account exists at "u/1". If I switch computers, or log in in a 
different order, all the permalinks break.
*
Is there any way to link to a specific message for a specific account?* 

Something like this would be ideal:

https://mail.google.com/mail/u/[email protected]/#all/13b3e6531c3498f3

Which would either redirect to the correct multiple sign-in URL ("u/0", 
"u/1", "u/2") if you are signed into "[email protected]", or redirect to a 
login page for that account.

Thanks,
Steven
