Email - where you can create it, how to register a mailbox and choose the best of the free Email services. How to create an email account and send a letter

Having an e-mail has become a necessary condition for the active lifestyle of a successful person. When working with electronic soap, the user receives many benefits.

The benefits of using email

Instant message delivery (the recipient receives the letter within a few seconds after sending).
High degree of reliability of information storage (many email resources help to increase the level of security of user data, for example, accepting only high-complexity passwords, having a security question, etc.).
Possibility of receiving newsletters and notifications from Internet resources of interest.
Accessibility (checking electronic messages can be done both from a PC and from a mobile device).

Creating email is possible on various hosting sites - Yandex, Mail.ru, Gmail.ru, etc. These email services provide free services, which is another undeniable advantage of electronic mailboxes.

How to create an email and what you need for it

In order to create a mailbox, you need to register on one of the above services. The algorithm for how to create an email on each hosting has its own characteristics. Therefore, this article discusses step-by-step instructions for creating electronic “soap” on some services.

Yandex-mail

Register on Mail.ru

To create a Mail email, you need to follow a few simple steps.

To begin, go to the Mail.ru domain and select the “Registration in mail” column.
In the tab that appears, indicate personal information - last name, first name, patronymic, date of birth, place of residence, mobile phone.
Then the user comes up with a login (nickname), options for which can also be offered by the service (similar to the example with Yandex).
After entering the login, the user comes up with a password and selects one of the domains - Mail.ru, Bk.ru, List.ru - and then completes registration.

How to Create a Gmail Email

In addition to the Yandex and Mail services, the Gmail mail system from Google is also particularly popular. Its significant difference is that its level of reliability is an order of magnitude higher than its domestic counterparts. For example, there are no spam messages in this mail, as the system is equipped with powerful filters. In addition, to download some computer programs from official Western Internet resources, registration is required only through Google mail. A foreign site does not perceive Yandex or the same Mail as e-mail. If you need to create a Western e-wallet, such as PayPal, the payment system will only confirm their “native” Gmail email.

Considering all the advantages of such a mailbox, you need to immediately move on to creating it. The step-by-step algorithm for installing “foreign soap” is as follows:

You need to find the Gmail service. To do this, write the corresponding name into the search bar and select the first result that appears on the page.
In the window that opens, you need to select the “Create an account” button.
After this, a registration sheet will appear in which you need to enter the following data: first name, last name, login and password. The system also provides its own nickname options. The control panel language can be easily changed by clicking on the corresponding line in the upper right corner.
Next, you need to enter the captcha (a set of letters) and accept the terms of the user agreement. The word in the form of a secret password is written in such a way that not every user can enter it the first time without errors.
If everything is done correctly, the system immediately goes to the “Login to Mail” dialog box.
At the same moment, 3 messages will be sent to your inbox, the first of which is necessary to set up your Gmail profile, namely, to change the color and theme of your account.
During the process of creating mail, you can enable (disable) search history - a list of Internet resources that are viewed by the user.

The algorithm for creating an email is simple and accessible to everyone. Various email services open up an endless sea of possibilities for the user.

To access Yandex.Mail, you need a Yandex account. If you don't have it, follow these steps:

Open the registration page.
Please enter your first and last name.
Come up with or select from the proposed options a unique identifier (login) that you will use for authorization in Mail and other Yandex services.
Attention. After registration, you will not be able to change your login.
Create and remember a password to access your account. The password must be strong so that attackers cannot access your personal data.
Please provide your mobile phone number. Using this number you will be able to recover your password and receive notifications, and you will also be able to use it as an additional login. If you want to add a phone number later, you can do so on the Phone Numbers page. If you do not want to provide a phone number, click the link I don't have a phone and select a security question and indicate the answer to it. This data is necessary to recover your password.
Enter the characters from the picture (this is protection against automatic registration).
Note. If the characters in the picture are difficult to make out, click the Other code link.
Make sure that the box indicating that you accept the terms of the User Agreement and consent to the processing of personal data is checked.
Click the button Register.

After registration, you will receive an email address that consists of your login, the @ icon and the domain name yandex.ru (or one of its domain aliases). For example, [email protected]. The domain alias is determined automatically during registration.

You can at any time make changes to your personal information, ask a different security question, specify alternative email addresses for contacting you, or edit your list of phone numbers.

How to change login

You cannot change the login created when registering on Yandex, but you can register a new one. To do this, click the link Log out of Yandex services in the account menu in the upper right corner of the page, and then on the page that opens the Create mail link.

Attention. If you have registered a new mailbox and want to have access to your old emails, you need to set up a mail collector from the old mailbox. If you want to send emails from both addresses, you can add the old one as a secondary address.

How to come up with a strong password

A good password is one that is difficult to guess or guess.

Never tell anyone your password to log into your account. The more people know your password, the higher the likelihood that an attacker will find it out.

To create a complex password, use:

both uppercase and lowercase Latin letters;

punctuation marks:
- ` ` are allowed! @ # $ % ^ & * () - _ = + ( ) ; : \" | , .< > / ?
  ;
  Only ~ and " are not allowed.

Which passwords are weak?

What should not be used as a password:

Passwords that you already use on other sites or applications. If someone finds out, for example, your password to a social network, they will try to enter not only Yandex, but also other social networks, postal services, and online banks with this password.

Common words (margarita, begemot), as well as predictable letter combinations (qwerty, 123456)

Personal data that you could indicate somewhere on the Internet: name, birthday, passport number, etc. Even your mother’s maiden name, which no one seems to know, should not be used.

Special mailing address

If, when registering in online stores, forums or other resources, you do not want to indicate your real email address, add the + sign and any word by which you can recognize this site to your login. You should end up with an address something like this: [email protected]. An email sent to this address will be sent to the Spam folder of your real mailbox.

A special mailing address on Yandex will also be useful for re-registering on the site. For example, if you forgot your password for your account on this site and cannot recover it.

Phone number instead of login

The phone number associated with your account can be used as an additional login. To do this, on the Phone numbers page, enable the option use phone number as login.

Each phone number can become an additional login for only one account. At the same time, for each account you can connect only one additional login - only the main phone number can become such a login.

Let's say you made the number +7 987 123-45-67 an additional login. Now you can:

Enter a phone number (only numbers, for example 79871234567) wherever you need to specify a Yandex login.

Features of mail with an additional login

To send a letter to such an address, the number can be specified in any format (without spaces) - the Mail will recognize both +79871234567@site and 89871234567@site.

Letters sent to this address will go to your Yandex.Mail mailbox. The address will stop working if you disable the additional login or unlink the number from your account.

If the phone number passes to another person, and the new owner connects it as an additional login, the email address will also pass to him. How to avoid this:

If you have lost your SIM card, have it restored at your mobile operator's store.

If you changed your number, unlink the old number and link the new one on the page

Oddly enough, in the 21st computer century we still cannot do without mail, or rather, without email. Every newcomer, when getting acquainted with the global Internet, is faced with the task of creating and registering his own free mailbox, since without his Email he will not be able to register in any social network, various services, and using the email mailbox is convenient for sending messages anywhere Sveta. From this article you can learn: what email is, how to register a mailbox, which email service to choose for your email address, and many more interesting and useful things.

Email - what is it?

E-mail is a technology that allows you to transmit messages, pictures, videos and music files at a distance to other Internet participants (in English this is: electronicmail, abbreviated - e-mail oremail). In other words, e-mail is an analogue of regular “paper” mail, but only on the international Internet. The following concepts are also used here: letter, send, receive, attachment, signature, address. In everyday life, people usually say “electronic”, “soap”, “box”, “email”.

If you think that email is a fairly young creation, I hasten to surprise you - it is already more than half a century old! According to the most recent data, the appearance of e-mail is 1965 - it was then that Noel Morris and Tom Van Vleck (employees of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology) developed the program « mail", with the help of which it became possible to transmit messages between workstations connected to one large computer:

After the advent of the global domain name system (DNS), domain names began to be used for communication in the address, for example: box@ infomechanics.ru, it was then that the so-called “dog” appeared - @ .

And finally, in the mid-90s of the twentieth century, mass email services appeared:

1996 – Hotmail launched;
1997 – Yahoo! mail;
1998 – Russian service Mail.ru;
2000 – Yandex Mail;
2004 – Gmail Google.

The advantages of email include: ease of remembering the email address, which usually looks like this: mailbox_name@service_domain; another plus is the ability to send any information: text, files, images, audio, video, programs, etc.; independence of postal services; reliability and speed of mail delivery.

Among the disadvantages, it should be noted such a phenomenon as SPAM– mass mailing of advertising information without the consent of the owner of the mailbox; Like regular mail, email is also prone to delays in the delivery of letters; and the last minus is the limitation on the size of the sent attachment; usually it should not exceed 10 GB.

Yahoo.com(Yahoo Mail) is a mail service from the oldest search engine “Yahoo!”, quite popular in the West, but not very widespread in our country. There is a Russian interface. Can be used for secondary purposes. Register here: Yahoo.com

How to register an email - I share secrets

If you have read this far, then the issue of choosing a mail service (see above) has been resolved for you. The registration process for all mailers is basically the same and has been described many times on the Internet, so I won’t repeat this. I’d rather share with you some secrets that few beginners know about:

You can register as many mailboxes as you like on different services (Gmail, YandexMail, MailRu, etc.). There are no restrictions on the number of email addresses for one person.
To create an email, it is not necessary to indicate a phone number; you can do without it, then during registration you will be asked to enter a “secret” question, the answer to which only you know. Advice: If you are concerned about the safety of the contents of your mailbox, indicate your mobile phone number when registering, this will protect your mail from hacking by 99%. If you already have an email account, you can also link your phone number to it; this option is now available in most email services.
Choosing name for your email do not create too long and complex, they are difficult to remember, here are examples of such “stupid” addresses: as.petrov_otdelserv@, alina1988.menedjer@, kri987456321@ - apparently people have difficulty with imagination... Of course, all the beautiful and short names have long been taken (in networks even sell such “beautiful” boxes!), but with some effort you can come up with something original and easy to remember, for example: 77box@, doctor77@, freemen@, infomehanik@ :-).
Email password It is important that the more complex it is, the more difficult it will be for burglars to pick it up. But there is a flip side to the coin - the longer the password, the more difficult it is to remember. Therefore, I recommend making passwords 10-15 characters long and writing them down separately somewhere in a notebook. You can, of course, store passwords in a browser or in special programs, but this is less secure. Include letters, numbers, and symbols in your password. Sharing a trick– to make it easier to remember the password, type it in Russian words, but in the English keyboard layout, for example, your password "catboots" in English layout it will look like this: « rjndcfgjuf[». But don’t leave the password in such a simple form, complicate it by adding capital letters, several characters and numbers: “ Puss!in!Boots10"- in English it will look like this: « Rjn!d!fgjuf)
