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 or various services, and besides, using the email mailbox it is convenient to send 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?

Email 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 were used for communication, 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.

Mail.ru(Mail ru Mail) - I put this service in second place, since I myself use it all the time (this is how it happened historically). Mail.ru mail is very popular in the Runet, thanks to its Russian-language interface, ease of use, care for users, the presence of additional services, such as “News”, the “My World” social network, cloud storage “Cloud” and a bunch of other goodies » for users. Don’t be scared by the “scandalous” fame of the service due to long-ago hacks, when hackers stole a large amount of information - now the security of the service is at a sufficient level. On Mail you can create a mailbox with the following endings: @mail.ru, @bk.ru, inbox.ru, @list.ru. You can register your email here: mail.ru (email login to my page).

Yandex.ru(Yandex Mail) is the second most popular among Russian-speaking network users, the brainchild of the Yandex company, known for its search engine for Runet. It has simplicity and wide functionality. To create an email address, you just need to register your account in Yandex and, along with your mail, you get access to all its services, somewhat similar to Jimail, as well as access to the Webmaster’s account and the YandexDirect advertising network. You can register your mailbox for free here: yandex.ru.

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 newbies know about:

1. 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.
2. To create an email, you don’t have to provide a phone number; you can do without it, then when registering 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.
3. 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@ :-).
4. 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 "Puss in Boots" 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)
