Many professionals manage multiple email accounts but prefer Gmail's interface. Gmail's upcoming removal of 'Send as' support disrupts this workflow. Build a Chrome extension or web app that integrates with Gmail, allowing users to send emails from third-party addresses like Yahoo or Outlook. Charge a one-time fee or subscription for advanced features like email scheduling and templates. Start with a basic Chrome extension that adds a 'Send as' option in Gmail. The biggest risk is Google blocking this functionality.
