Email, e-mail, email - how to write correctly?

Instructions for creating an email address.

Long gone are the days when mail was delivered by pigeons or by the postman in envelopes. You can receive the treasured message in just a few seconds. For this purpose, email or e.mail was created - an electronic mailbox. The most interesting thing is that initially no one specifically intended to create it. In 1965, an American programmer tried to invent a program for sending short messages. That's when email was created. But it became truly popular only recently.

What is an email address, what does it look like?

You need mail not only to send messages, but also to send each other pictures or some video files. This is necessary not only for entertainment purposes, but also for work. Therefore, now all global companies actively use e-mail to send messages. Also in order to inform the employee about a meeting or some kind of corporate event. In addition, this is an excellent way to exchange information, which allows you to send contracts, letters, and work notes.

An e-mail box is required in order to receive newsletters if you buy clothes in one of the online stores. This is a great option to receive messages about discounts and promotions in these stores. Moreover, now registration on almost all sites is possible only using email. Even ordinary social networks, such as VKontakte or Facebook, require email confirmation, so without this mailbox you will not be able to register in any of the social networks.

What is the difference between an e-mail address and a website address?

Hello, dear blog readers. A modern person simply needs to know what the site address is. And have your own e-mail address, or even several. Why do you need to know and have this? What is the difference? This is what my article is about.

If you often meet new people, attend seminars, or an old friend wants to send you his photos, then you may be asked for your email, email or e-mail, i.e. your email address is e-mail (translated from English as electronic mail). What if you don't have it? Or do you not know what it is?

Email is the technical ability to exchange letters electronically. To do this, you need to type text on the keyboard and, if necessary, attach a picture, video, document or other file with the recipient you need. For the average Internet user, email is a very convenient means of communication. Since messages are delivered almost instantly in most cases.

Where else might you need an e-mail address?

when registering online for a webinar,
to gain access to closed site resources,
to download the book or checklist you like,
to subscribe to interesting newsletters, etc.

What does an e-mail address consist of?

Your address, which you came up with yourself: my_e-mail
Then comes the dog symbol "@"
Then comes the end of the mail. As a rule, the service on which you use mail

The main difference between e-mail is that it has the “@” icon in its address. We call it a “dog”.

Conclusion: if you have your own e-mail address, then it looks like a set of characters, for example, [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] depending on the service on which it was created.

You can give this e-mail address to other people - just like your home address for regular letters. But to access your email, you need a unique password that only you will have, like a key to your mailbox. Everyone knows the email address, but only you know the password. That is, no one except you will be able to see your correspondence if you do not give anyone your password.

How is an e-mail address different from a website address?

The site address will have completely different characters. Most of the sites you come across have this inscription in their address: https:// ABC of a newbie on the Internet:

How to create a mailbox?

What you need to do to have a mailbox: First, select the service that will host your e-mail address. Secondly, register on the selected service. Thirdly, come up with your own e-mail address. Fourth, set up your email so that it is convenient for you to use it.

Which service should you choose?

There are a huge number of services on the Internet that provide the opportunity to create your own email for free in a few minutes:

@mail.ru is the oldest mail service. I've been using it since 2009. And there were no incidents. True, not everyone likes him, because their letters often end up in spam. And indeed it is. Mile carefully monitors security.

In addition to the e-mail address on mail.ru, you receive: [email protected] - a free search engine. Read more about this in my article “How to properly search for information on the Internet.” [email protected] - news feed, Mail.Ru Applications - 20 different applications, Mail.Ru Calendar, [email protected] - cloud storage for storing necessary files, [email protected] - free games in various genres, Dating@ mail.ru – if you want to find a travel companion or other half, Moy [email protected] – another social network, [email protected] – for quick messaging, [email protected], which allows you to make fast payments . I haven't used it myself. [email protected] is a cool service where you can ask a question and get an answer. Or help people by answering their questions. It can also be used to find clients or your own narrow niche. Because there are real people on this service, with real problems.

@yandex.ru - I think this mailer is very simple and understandable. I have also been using it since 2009. And there were no incidents with this box. Reliable. You can safely use it.

In addition to the e-mail address on yandex.ru, you receive: Free search engine - answers to any questions, Yandex News in various directions, Yandex Maps , where you can find everything, create a route, avoid traffic jams, Yandex Calendar to create important events, Yandex Disk - cloud storage, Yandex Translator - simultaneous translation for 94 languages, Yandex Money, which allows you to make free transfers between electronic wallets. It’s very convenient to use: withdraw, top up, pay. I recommend. Yandex Wordstat – selection of words for key queries, can be used to compile a semantic core. Read more about this in my upcoming article “What are Keywords?” Yandex Metrica is a service that allows you to analyze site traffic, the behavior of visitors on your site, conversion, traffic source, etc., Yandex Market is a service for searching and purchasing goods, and you can also place your trade offer on it, Yandex Direct is a Yandex contextual advertising service on its website and partner sites, and a bunch of other services.

@gmail.com - Google mail, which I have been using for a while now. At the moment, this service is considered the most advanced, reliable and safe. Many sites only work with it. And it has the most sophisticated interface.

In addition to the e-mail address on gmail.com, you receive: Google Account. Once you register on any Google service and receive a login and password, you can use all the features under these registration data. Google Account including. GoogleSearch. Google search engine, focused on the whole world. The search is carried out in 200 languages on various regional sites. Google+ is another social network, but for some reason I don’t like it. I think that it cannot compete with such popular social networks as Facebook or Contact. Google Calendar is an online organizer - a service for planning meetings, events and tasks linked to the calendar. GoogleNews is a news site that is automatically created with the personal interests of each reader. Google Phone Book is a service that allows you to find telephone numbers and addresses published in the public domain. GoogleDictionary - Google translator, for translating individual words into other languages. GoogleMaps is a set of maps built on the basis of a free mapping service. GoogleWave is a site that combines the functions of email, wiki, social network, and instant messaging. Google Drive - cloud storage. GoogleDocs is an online analogue of the simplest office suite: text, spreadsheet, presentation, forms, etc. GoogleSites is free hosting for creating websites. GoogleBookmarks - site bookmarks, shortcuts and notes that can be searched. Blogger is a popular blogging platform for quickly and easily creating and maintaining your own blog. GoogleAdSense is a contextual advertising service that is one of the main ways to make money for website owners around the world. GoogleAdWords is also a contextual advertising service that works with keywords. GoogleAnalytics is a powerful free service that provides detailed statistics on website traffic. YouTube is the most famous service providing video hosting services. GoogleHangouts is a service similar to Skype, created for communication, messaging, and conferences. Сoggle.it is a service for creating online mind maps. And much, much, much more!!!!

@rambler.ru - few people use it; it is considered old and not adapted to modern conditions. I didn't like him right away. I started mail on rambler back in 2011, but it still only has two incoming letters from rambler itself. Somehow it didn’t take root in my practice. Rambler associates itself with a media portal.

In addition to the e-mail address on rambler.ru you receive: Rambler/search - a search engine in different directions, Rambler/news - also in different directions, Rambler/games - for those who like to play online, Rambler/dating - haven’t heard of it, it’s true that someone would meet someone here…. Rambler/top 100 - a directory that represents a ranking of sites - and several others...

@qip.ru is another service that provides the opportunity to create an email account. Although they write a lot of negative things about it, I have been using email on qip since 2009, and it has helped me out more than once. I myself can’t say anything bad about him.

In addition to the e-mail address on qip.ru you receive: Qip IM messenger - ICQ. The most famous and popular free application for communicating on the Internet at the time. Both from a computer and from a phone. Now only a few people use it. Search Qip.RU - searches in three directions: the Internet, pictures, videos, Qip.RU News - in different directions, Qip.RU Games - a whole bunch, Qip.RU Maps - somewhat similar to Yandex maps: you can navigate route, avoid traffic jams, Qip.RU bookmarks seem convenient to me. In addition, Qip itself offers thousands of selected bookmarks for all occasions: in groups, friends’ bookmarks, in tags, etc. My disk Qip.RU - provides 2 GB of cloud storage space, SHOT.QIP - a small application for creating screenshots with screen, Tests and Polls Qip.RU – “Aeterna Qip.RU” is a service of free tests, polls and fortune telling. To avoid getting bored, you can express your opinion in thousands of polls and get predictions in thousands of fortune tellings. Or create your own - a survey, fortune telling, test, OTVET.QIP - a service similar to [email protected] - you can get an answer to it - and a few other services and applications.

YahooMail – somehow things didn’t work out for me with this email either. She got lost on her own, one might say, on the very first day... Although the mail interface is Russified, for the rest you need to use a translator. And this, you see, is not very convenient))) And despite the fantastic 1 TB of free space, YahooMail is not popular.

In addition to the e-mail address on YahooMail, you receive: YAHOO - a search engine in various directions, YAHOO NEWS - news, also in various directions, YAHOO ANSWERS - a question-answer service, YAHOO GROUPS - search for groups on the Internet - judge the rest for yourself .

Outlook.com - Free email and other services in one Microsoft Outlook service. I use it at work. Basically convenient. Here you can back up all the other emails you want to track in one login. With Outlook.com, you can sign in to Skype, Calendar, and Office Online.

In addition to the e-mail address on Outlook.com, you get: OneDrive – free storage with 5 GB, where you can create files and folders, and then drag and drop the necessary material into them, for example, photos; Documents Online – similar to the GoogleDocs service, allows you to create online documents: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote - share them on OneDrive, OneNote Online - the ability to create notes, Skype - everyone knows it, I think words are just unnecessary here, Calendar, which opens directly in Outlook.com, Service People – the ability to collect contacts from different services into one address book.

It's up to you to decide what address your email address will be. It is clear that its end will be determined by the free service you have chosen: @mail.ru, @gmail.com, @yandex.ru, @rambler.ru, @qip.ru or Yahoo.

What will come before the dog icon in your email address? And how beautiful it will be does not always depend on you. Because it’s not always possible to get the email address you want. Why? Each of the above services already has a multi-million army of registered users, which means millions of emails, each of which must be unique. The ending is the same for everyone... So it turns out that many beautiful names are already taken by someone)))

If we compare the popularity of email services according to statistics provided on the Internet, we can draw the following conclusions:

As you can see, the Mail.ru service is in the lead. I also found the results of such a survey on one site:

Where we see that the Google.com service is beginning to gain popularity.

You can also familiarize yourself with statistics on the popularity of browsers in the article “Going online. Which browser is better?

Of course, these are not all the services on which you can create an email account. And not all the capabilities of these services are announced in this article. Therefore, I look forward to your comments with interest. I would be grateful if you share your opinion about this.

Sincerely, Marina Shirshikova

What email can you come up with and a password for it: tips

If you decide to create your own e-mail, or you need it for work, you need to come up with a name for the mailbox, as well as a password for it. With the name of the box, everything is quite clear, because very often when entering your first and last name, the system itself offers possible free options. If this is a work email, try to write your first and last name as you actually have it. If this is some kind of email for receiving newsletters from stores, try to come up with something interesting so that in case of hacking, attackers will not receive your first and last name.

To set the correct password, you must follow several rules:

Do not use your child's name or date of birth as a password. Attackers on social networks can easily find information.
You should not use the same password for all accounts. It is best to encrypt Internet banking so that attackers cannot transfer your money from your card.
Try to make the password quite complex, but in this case there will be a problem with remembering it. If your memory is not very good, you can use special programs to remember passwords.
You can also save it on your hard drive on your computer, or the old-fashioned way, write it down on a piece of paper and put it in a book. Just don't forget the title of the book. Do not store it near your computer, because your relatives, friends or co-workers can easily open it and find a list of passwords.
For the password, choose numbers and letters, uppercase, large and small, as well as other symbols, such as percentages, numbers, quotes, and various dashes. This makes it harder for hackers to break into your email account.

What is email

In another way, E-mail is also called a mailbox, mail, E-mail (e-mail, email), “soap”.

This is all the same thing, it is a service that provides users with services for receiving and sending electronic messages (letters).

You can send a letter to any person, from any city and country, even a stranger, just know the name of his email address (address).

You can send a text in a letter or attach various files (video, audio, pictures).

Email mail - how to create and register your email address: rules, instructions

To begin, select the service in which you will create a box. This could be mail.ru or Yandex, possibly Yahoo. Let's explain the registration procedure using mail.ru as an example.

Instructions:

Enter the words in Russian mail.ru in any search engine. You will be taken to the site. Press the “Mail” button below, you will see the words “name” and “password”, and even lower “registration”. Click this button and fill out all the fields indicated by a red asterisk.

Start of registration

After you fill out all the lines indicated in red, you must click “Register”. After you do this, you will receive an email informing you that you are registered. The mail.ru team congratulates you on your registration.

Here you need to enter the mailbox name and password

Go to your mailbox, press the "Enter" key. Don't forget to write down your password. Under no circumstances write it down on social networks in messages to yourself. A lot of information leaks this way.

Fill in all the fields

After your page is hacked, all information becomes available. Therefore, it is best to write down the password on the hard drive in the computer itself or on a piece of paper.

How to create an email on your phone

The mailbox can be managed not only from a computer, but also from a mobile phone. So you can conduct business correspondence anywhere! For example, relax on the beach and send out resumes to employers.

Android

Standard Gmail program

On devices with the Android operating system, Gmail is installed by default - mail from Google. This is quite obvious, because Android Inc. owned by Google.

We look in the Gmail application menu:

And we’ll immediately get some good news - you can add not only email from Google, but also a lot of others. Click on the plus sign:

For now, let's practice on Google, and in the future you can add other mailboxes yourself.

Click on “Create an account”, after which we will be redirected to a form with a phone number to fill out:

You don't have to specify it. Scrolling down:

Consider the case where we entered a phone number. Then we will receive a verification code that we need to enter. After which we will be redirected to a page with terms of privacy and use.

We need to confirm that we have familiarized ourselves with them, and that’s it! Next, you need to fill in the data, as with the method that I described at the beginning.

As a result, we got the following mail:

Additionally, you can add another email. Click on the plus sign again and select, for example, Yandex:

Next, you need to log in or register a new mailbox, and as a result it will appear in the mail application:

Other programs

You can also find other mail storage programs. I went to Google Play (or also called Play Store), and when I asked for “Mail” I saw the following applications:

Both branded applications (Mail.Ru, Yandex.Mail) and custom ones are visible. In branded as well as in custom applications (for example, myMail, Email), you can store several mailboxes in one application.

If you receive an email, you will see a notification on your phone, and then you can go to your account and reply.

The best email clients for Android:

Microsoft Outlook. A mobile version of the Outlook computer program, in which only the main functions remain. The advantages include: fast filtering of messages, convenient viewing of files from letters;
MyMail. The developers claim that their client is the fastest and most secure. Works with major mailers such as Gmail, Mail.Ru, Rambler and others. You can note the convenient interface and search, as well as a nice design.
Yandex Mail . I use this application personally. Among the advantages: you can protect individual folders with a password, like the entire client. User-friendly design, easy to use.

How to enter your email account on your page: instructions

In order to open your mail, you need to log in to the system in which you created the mailbox, for example mail.ru.

Instructions:

In the upper right corner you will see a blue square with the name of the box, as well as the password. You need to type the name of the mailbox that you registered; there will be a drop-down list in the right corner. You need to choose the mail.ru or inbox.ru system, or perhaps bk.ru. Next, in “password” enter the value that you registered.
After that, click the “Login” button. If you did everything correctly, filled in your name and password correctly, you will be able to log into your email account without any problems. If you do not leave your mailbox, and it is in open form, then the next time you log into your mail, you will not need to enter your login and password, everything will be open.
Similarly, you can log in to Yandex mail, enter your login and password in the same way. In general, Yandex mail looks almost the same as mail.ru with minor differences. At the same time, Google very often remembers the username and password of an email account.
Keep in mind that if you have forgotten the name of the mailbox or the numbers with which you can access your mail, you can restore access using your mobile phone. This makes things easier and will allow you to access the box if necessary.
Please note that you must enter the mailbox name and password accurately down to each letter and number. Because a space or incorrectly typed numbers will not give access to your mail. So don't rely on memory when entering your mailbox, it's best to write it down in a notepad or on your computer hard drive so you can copy and paste.

How to log into your mailbox
Of course, at the very beginning of using email, some difficulties will arise when entering your login and password. But over time, you will learn and remember your passwords, as well as the name of the mailbox, and be able to use it without hindrance.
How to enter mail ru mailbox

An electronic mailbox has a lot of advantages, because it allows you to transfer information to the other side of the world in a matter of seconds, as well as insert videos, pictures and report the necessary news.

Email - what is it?

Even before and when the Internet appeared (and even more so there was no part of it that we all loved - WWW, i.e. the global web), messages were already sent between computers connected to each other via local networks. The address of the recipient of such messages indicated “user_name@domain_name” (computer).

Actually, all this is still organized in approximately the same way. If you go into details, everything is quite confusing, although few people are interested in it. It’s enough just to know that there are Email servers through which messages are sent and you only need the address (his “soap”, i.e. email) of the person to whom you are sending the message,

Well, it won’t hurt to properly configure the client program on your computer. Although the latter is not necessary if you have created a mailbox on some popular service - there mail will be sent automatically directly from the web interface (browser). Examples of such free online services include Yandex Mail, Gmail, Mail.ru, Outlook.com and others.

The question is not what email is and how it works - this is the lot of a narrow circle of technologists. You and I are more interested in another question (selfish) - what to do with all this , how to set it up, how to choose a beautiful name for your box , how to learn how to work with it, etc. Finally, how to correctly pronounce the English word Email in Russian: email, email or email. I even dedicated an article to this issue (just kidding, of course).

For an ordinary (ordinary) Internet user (like you and me), email is primarily a means of communication. Very convenient, I must say. Messages are delivered almost instantly in most cases. You can attach various files to them: documents, pictures, videos, archives, etc.

Do you know why I still prefer email and don’t use various instant messengers? But because when a message arrives by Email, you do not need to respond to it immediately (taking a break from what you are currently doing on the computer), as communication in various instant messaging systems often requires. I always have time to carefully consider the answer or put it off completely until I’m done with the “routine.” In fact, this is very important, in my opinion (what is called my IMHO).
