Hello friends! Pavel Yamb is in touch. Tell me, do you communicate on these social networks? How do you exchange messages? Do you have an email? If not, and you have come to the Internet for a long time and have seriously decided, then it is impossible to do without an email address. So what is email and how do you create one?

Mail is necessary for forwarding messages over long distances quickly :). It is impossible to live in the modern world without information exchange. Before the advent of the Internet, ordinary mail was engaged in the transmission of letters, and even earlier, pigeons. But time passes, and modern technologies have improved the process: letters are delivered to the other side of the planet in a matter of seconds. Of course, this became possible with the advent of the Internet and, in fact, e-mail.

It's funny, but nobody was going to create e-mail on purpose. Everything turned out by itself. American programmer Ray Thompson developed a program for sending short e-mail messages. Each sender was required to have its own address. This is how the convenient Internet mail was born in 1965.

There is no need to write a message by hand, put it in an envelope, stick a stamp, carry it to the post office and wait for the letter to reach the addressee, and then wait for an answer - and I found these times. E-mail is a modern form of communication for the transmission of text files, graphic and video messages over a distance.

Almost all Internet users have e-mail boxes. Virtual mail has its own name - e-mail. E-mail is the same mail, only in a modern format.

What is its convenience:

• Letters reach the addressees in just a few seconds
• You can send pictures, messages, and video files by e-mail.

How to create an e-mail

It is impossible to register on any forum or social network without an e-mail. Therefore, we create our own email account on any of the free mail services. The differences between them are small, and registration is according to a single principle, in a few minutes. We choose the one we like or the ones we like (no one forbids having several addresses) and start:

• http://www.mail.ru/ -;
• http://www.yandex.ru/ -;
• http://www.gmail.com/ -;
• http://www.rambler.ru/;
• http://www.km.ru/;
• http://www.rbk.ru/;
• http://www.yahoo.com/.

The list goes on, but these services are the most popular. After completing registration, you get access to additional features of the service: you can create a personal page on the network, an electronic wallet, get your own ISQ number, create your blog, finally. Each service has its own list of useful options.

registration

So, let's start with an account. On the main page of the mail service, click on the link "Registration". Next, select "Create mailbox" or "Create mail" - the text depends on the service. On the page that opens, fill out the registration form. In case of difficulty, the system will tell you what to do next.

When registering, enter your genuine personal data: last name, first name and patronymic, date of birth and phone number. So you can easily restore your account in case of password loss or to find friends on the network. Don't be afraid to reveal yourself online. The Internet already knows everything about you :)

E-mail must be correct, that is, written correctly. Name length - up to 64 characters. When registering, however, it is safer not to use dots and symbols, because some services take them for errors and issue a message about an incorrect address.

Do you want unauthorized people to view your data? The settings allow you to hide them after registration is complete. The service's help system will help you get a hint on how to do this.

And reliable data is also required to use an electronic wallet. Under the name of Gena Crocodile, it is unlikely that the identification will be successful, and the result is problems with money transfers.

Login

Registration is based on the choice of the mailbox name. The main requirement is uniqueness. The address consists of:

• the name of the mailer site on which you create mail;
• username, that is, you creating your address.

The at or dog symbol separates both parts. The address looks like example.ru is the site name, and pavel is the username. We approach the choice of a login seriously: if he doesn't like it, you won't be able to change your name, and you will have to register a new mailbox.

By the way, the "dog" was created by the same Ray Thompson. The icon was used by him to separate the mailbox name and the location of the addressee in the domain. Thompson taught the program to distinguish these details automatically. And the choice of the icon did not take much time: the programmers had already used the "dog". Within a few years, the icon became super popular.

Required fields are marked with an asterisk, *. Did you enter the data? And now - the most interesting and difficult thing, the choice of the name of the mailbox. Such work takes a lot of time. Popular names have already been taken, and coming up with a unique name has to work hard.

In many postal services, account registration is allowed on several domains, indicated after the "doggy" in the address. If the selected name is occupied in the main domain, then it can be free on the additional domain. You can check the list in the registration form.

Alternatively - your mobile phone number. This name is certainly free. Or the name of your company. But here there may be problems with the transfer of the address over the phone: the spelling and sounding may differ.

Password

I started an intstagram. I show the life of a copywriter, make fun of a story, let's be friends! GO TO INTSAGRAM

After choosing a login, we will start choosing a strong password and a security question to restrict access to our address. We establish the answer with the expectation that only you can answer. This will prevent outsiders from accessing your account. Overly obvious data, for example, the name of a pet, known to all friends, or the name of the street where you live, especially since the date of birth or name is better not to take.

If nothing original comes to mind, you can deliberately make a few mistakes. Use illogical combinations of uppercase and lowercase letters, special characters: instead of "a" - "@". Replace "o" with "0". Now it will be very difficult to find a "key" to your mailbox for unwanted guests.

If you have a corporate mail at work, the position allows you to create an e-mail free of charge, then why not take advantage of this opportunity? Contact your organization's computer administrator to learn how to create your own mailbox. Just do not forget that after dismissal, you will lose access to this mailbox. And during work, your correspondence will be available not only to you, but also to the same administrator.

Paid or free email

You can register your own unique domain, for example vasya @ masin.net. An example of such a registration service is http://www.general-domain.ru/. But registration of a custom domain is paid. True, the fee is small, and when running your own business, such an address is an additional solidity.

To solve problems with the main address, we create an additional one. When registering, we indicate an additional address. The password from the main one is sent to it if it is lost.

The difference between free and paid services is in the level of security of accounts, the volume of mailboxes, size restrictions and methods of fighting spam. One of the best in the world is the Gmail service created by Google. If you still don't have this mail, then here's how to create and configure it.

To make life easier for the user, enough client programs have been created. Almost their sole purpose is to make the use of e-mail more convenient. Useful tools for copying, storing data, and sorting email correspondence are provided. These programs are free and paid.

One of the most famous paid ones is "The Bat!"
The free alternative is Thunderbird, a great service from Mozilla that is in no way inferior to the paid service.
The mail client is included in any operating system. So, for Windows it is Microsoft Outlook.

How to find your email address

In order not to lose your own postal address, you can first write it down and save it. And you can see the address during registration or see it on the main page of your mailbox. It is often displayed at the top of the service page as "e-mail" or "My page". All incoming and outgoing letters are displayed here. But in any case, you should not rely only on your own memory: it is always better to keep the address written down in a file or on paper at hand.

The offers that interest the owner of the mailbox come to the e-mail. Only sometimes you did not subscribe to the mailing list, and you receive a dozen absolutely unnecessary letters. This is spam, a problem known to all email owners.

Congratulations, you have received ... spam

Offers for the purchase of goods, for the provision of charitable assistance - whatever is sent out! But after the transfer of the indicated amount to the account, it is fashionable to forget about the money: they will go to the scammers who are most often engaged in such mailings. And to everything else, they now have access to your wallet.

It is also better not to open letters with offers to download useful programs or interesting files: they may contain viruses. Bad newsletters usually have bright headlines: Congratulations, You Win, Here's What You Need The Most, or The Prize.
Making personal information available to fraudsters or breaking your computer - such tasks are tough for spam viruses.

And even more so, you do not need to send out such letters yourself with appeals: "Send this message to three (five, six, and so on) friends, and you will be happy." We send such "lures" to a folder labeled "Spam". They belong there. There is no need to be allowed to become an assistant, albeit unwitting, scammers.

Email is a great opportunity to erase boundaries and reduce distances. It is impossible to do without email when working on the Internet. I think you agree with me.

What mail do you use? Pavel Yamb was with you. Until next time!
