Mail.ru is deservedly considered the most powerful mail service in the entire Runet. In other similar services, the creation of virtual mail follows almost the same scenario. First of all, in any browser, go to the resource https://mail.ru.


A page will open there and there will be a form in the upper left corner. Click on the “Registration in mail” tab, this is done for free. After this, the Mail ru form opens for filling out.


It is worth noting that there are fields that must be filled in. If you skip them, you won't be able to create an email. The remaining lines, on the right side of which the phrase “optional” appears, can be filled in or left blank. What you need to write down in any case:

  • Date of Birth

In the field with the name of the city, you can start entering the first letters and a list of settlements starting with this letter will pop up. Click on your item and the field will be filled in; by the way, this line is optional.


The next thing to note is the gender. In the “Mailbox” line, you must enter a word invented in advance - the name of the new user’s mail. It also happens that you enter a simple word, but a reminder pops up that this name is already taken and such a mailbox cannot be created. In this case, you will be offered a list of other options for the name to choose from, based on the information you entered. You can choose from this list, or you can continue to independently select a more complex and unoccupied name. In such cases, it is better to prepare backup options.

If your email is hacked, you can lose not only the contents, but it will also be difficult to return the mailbox itself; you will have to create a new one. The secret “code” must contain both numbers and letters, and the latter can be both lowercase and uppercase.

To ensure that the password is correct, enter it again in the next line. To be more confident, you can write it down in your notebook.

Next are the fields to be filled in in case of an emergency - you don’t remember the password and you’re logging in from someone else’s computer or you simply can’t log in. You should think about this right away. To avoid such troubles, two options are offered:
