This is the time to get to know https://mail.yandex.com

Seriously, the interface is so much better than todays gmail, its astonishing. There is no spam either, and no ads.

The email account is not the issue; I run my own email server with all the fun that brings.

It's that the Chrome Books really need separate Google accounts otherwise, settings + notifications to end up replicated to all of them.

And yes, I have a greater than average number of children. I feel as if the only way forward is to purchase a google for business account, and add them all there :-/
