Connecting to email. Why do you need email, why have your own email address. Creating and sending a letter

Sending emails directly from the site and receiving them there is inconvenient, so here I will share my achievements on how to create an email on a computer.

I’ll say right away that if you do as it’s written here, you won’t want to go back to your past torment.

So, to create an email on your computer, you will need two things. First, download and install the email program.

How to create your own email for free

I won’t write much about registering a mailbox. Everything there is simplified to the minimum. Go to the Google website (Gmail.com) and click on the email:

Of course, there are many other programs to create email on your computer. I tried them all and this one was the best in every way.

This also applies to settings, however, you don’t need to configure anything, just enter your login and password, provided that the mailbox is on Gmail.

After installing the program, click the box at the top and select create a new one:

In the fourth step of creating an email on your computer, leave everything as is:

In the fifth, check the box - leave letters (if you want) and enter the password:

That's all you can use. on the computer you created.

For example, checking mail at a given time or sending letters to many friends at the same time.

The most important thing is that all this will now be on your computer, and visiting sites will no longer be a problem.

In order to be able to correspond by email, you will need a mailbox where letters will be received and stored, as well as your own email address. How to create them will be discussed in this material.

First, you need to decide on which mail server your email will be located. Surely, when you connected to the Internet, your provider had already allocated you a mailbox on its own server. But we would not recommend using this option, since providers change, but addresses remain for a long time. Therefore, the best option would be to use the services of some large free email service.

Currently, there are more than two dozen large free postal services in Russia, of which the most popular are:

Of course, you can choose less popular services, but keep in mind that not all of them are equally convenient and functional. But large mail services have in their arsenal advanced anti-spam tools, a convenient user interface, support for all kinds of mail clients, their own utilities for checking mail, and also pay a lot of attention to the stability of the service.

Almost all mailers provide users with the following basic features:

• Accessing your mailbox via a web page. This means that you will be able to view your correspondence, create, receive and send emails by using your browser to access a special page hosted on the mail service server. Thus, it is possible to work with e-mail from any computer connected to the Internet.
• POP3 access. This protocol allows you to work with e-mail not through a web browser, but using special programs such as: Microsoft Outlook, The Bat!, Mozilla Thunderbird, Opera and others, called mail clients.
• IMAP access. It is a more advanced alternative to POP3 and provides users with enhanced capabilities for working with electronic correspondence when using email clients on their computer.

Unlike POP3, not all email services support the IMAP protocol; for example, Mail.ru has stopped using it.

In order to create your own mailbox, you need to register on the service you like. If you have chosen one of the four above services, then to start registering, simply click on its name, after which the corresponding registration page will open in front of you. But before that, still read this material to the end.

One of the key issues when creating a new mailbox is choosing its address, that is, your future email address. In general, the email address looks like this:

< Your invented name (login) >@ < Postal service name >

The “at” (@) symbol separating the login and the name of the mail server is called a “dog” in our country, a “snail” in Italy, and a “monkey” in Germany.

As you understand, the name of the mail service is entered automatically, depending on the service for which you register, and all you have to do is create a login, which must be unique and consist of a single word. In this case, the name can consist of Latin letters, numbers and underscores.

On mail services where tens of millions of mailboxes are registered, choosing a unique login, and one that suits you, is a rather non-trivial task. So to an address containing your personal name, e.g. [email protected] or some popular word like [email protected] , you can't count on it. At the same time, the registration system will immediately check your address for uniqueness and warn you if such a name is already taken.

When coming up with a name for your mailbox, be sure to take into account the purpose for which it is being created and with whom you will correspond. If you are creating a mailbox for business correspondence or are an adult, then it is quite appropriate to use a combination of your first name or its first letter and last name in its name, for example [email protected] . But keep in mind that a name that is too long will be awkward to write.

Many users use completely “neutral” and in some cases “puffy” names in their email names, such as “coolguy” or “bestgirl”. When corresponding with friends or registering on some resources, this is quite acceptable, but using this type of address to send business proposals or a resume to a potential employer is unlikely to be appropriate.

So, after selecting a unique name and entering some personal data, registration will be completed, and you will become the owner of a new personal mailbox. Now it is important to remember or even write down a few basic meanings:

• Just created by you email address(For example, [email protected] ).
• Login (username) to connect to a mailbox. As a rule, it coincides with the mail address itself or the left part of it located before the “dog”.
• Created by you password to connect to a mailbox.

These three values ​​will be enough for you to work with email through a browser. To do this, simply go to the website of your mail service, enter your username and password, after which you will be taken to the personal page of your mailbox. There you can see a list of received letters, read them, write new ones or send replies, and much more.

Users who lead an active life online can have several mailboxes at once, using them for different purposes. For example, one of them is for business correspondence, the second is for personal correspondence, and the third is for registering on various network resources. It is possible that you will soon need an additional mailbox, creating which is no longer a problem for you.

POP3 server: mail.
SMTP server:mail.
Username (for pop3): @
Username (for smtp): @

Advice: To send messages, it is best to use the server (SMTP server) of your provider. This reduces the load on the network - your messages will go out faster. Find out your SMTP server address from your network administrator or ISP.

Sooner or later (usually sooner) the moment comes when it becomes necessary to create your first mailbox.
