Gmail – How to Create a Permalink to Specific Inbox

gmailgoogle-apps-email

Gmail's multiple account support distinguishes between Gmail accounts with just an index, which simply reflects the order in which you signed into Gmail:

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

So if you sign into Gmail first with test@example.com and then with notatest@gmail.com, https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/ will go to the inbox of test@example.com; but if you sign into notatest@gmail.com before test@example.com, the same link will go to the inbox of notatest@gmail.com.

Aside from always signing into Google accounts in the same order, is there a good way to link to a specific Gmail account?
