Despite the emergence of more and more ways of Internet communication, e-mail is still popular. Even those users who do not have a constant need to enter into correspondence cannot do without an e-mail box, using it to register on sites, read newsletters and track the status of their network accounts. In short, Internet mail is an integral part of online life. If you haven't managed to get a personal e-mail yet, it's time to find out where and how this can be done.
Instructions
Step 1
It all starts with a mailing service. The largest providers of postal services today are the portals mail.ru, yandex.ru, rambler.ru and gmail.com. Internet mail is a user's virtual office, his account on one (or several at the same time) of such mail services. To get yourself a mail, it is enough to fill out the registration form, the link to which is usually located in a prominent place, near the input fields for the "login-password" pair. To register, you will need to create a password and specify the desired account name - the part of the address that will stand before the "@" symbol. The official name of this symbol is English “at”, but in everyday communication it is called “dog”. Registered mail will look like your name @ portal name. Almost all portals provide account holders with a ton of additional resources.
Everything is ready to use. But you can use virtual correspondence in different ways. The simplest thing is to access the mailbox directly through the web interface, that is, go to the selected portal, enter the username and password, and manage mail through the browser, navigating through links and virtual folders.
Step 2
There is also a more convenient and modern way. There are several e-mail programs with which you can work with your e-mail without opening a browser. The program has much more flexible settings, eliminates unnecessary advertising viewing and unnecessary traffic downloads. The operating system usually includes one of these programs - Microsoft Outlook. No less popular are The Bat! and a program from the creators of the eponymous browser Mozilla Thunderbird. With this method, mail will be stored directly on the user's computer. Especially those who need to send and receive attachments will feel this advantage.
Programs of this kind are also available in portable versions, that is, "portable". This means that a user can have on a flash drive a copy of his program with his personal settings, and use his mail using this program from any computer. In this case, there is no need to reinstall it every time. The downside is that the program must be pre-configured, and inexperienced users often have difficulty with this. Nevertheless, setting up the mail collector does not present any particular problems, and detailed instructions can be found both on third-party Internet resources and on the website of the mail service itself.
Step 3
Some browsers also have a built-in mail module, something like a mail program right inside the browser. However, this method is not very convenient and unsafe from the point of view of data safety, and therefore is not very popular.
Which method and which specific program to choose is a matter of taste, convenience and habits. It is worth trying these options on your own in order to choose the most suitable method of Internet communication.
