People in the modern world spend more and more time on the Internet - looking for and finding work, reading the news, communicating on social networks, checking the weather, buying, selling, earning money, saving, making friends, watching movies, listening to music, and often just mess around. Today it is difficult to find a person who does not know what a search engine is, online mode, ICQ, blogs, how to use e-mail. But they still exist, and this text is intended for them.
In the usual sense, mail is the exchange of letters and parcels. So far, the power of human thought has not reached the level to send parcels through e-mail, but perhaps this will come true in the near future. Despite this, email has many benefits.
1. In an email, you can sendonly messages in the form of text, but also attach files to the letter: tables, photographs, drawings, videos, presentations, and so on. Letters can be deleted, forwarded to other people, stored, filtered.
2. E-mail allows you to deliver correspondence (information) instantly, saving a lot of time and effort.
3. No need to go to the post office, as you can use e-mail without leaving your home, if you have the Internet and a computer.
4. Profitability - there is no need to pay for each letter, regardless of the amount of information in it. It is enough that the Internet service is paid to the provider in a timely manner.
5. Efficiency - you can check your mail and answer a letter even from a mobile phone with Internet access.
So, let's answer the question: "How to use e-mail"?
First you need to go to the site of a certain search or mail system, for example, "Yandex", "Google", "Rambler", "Mail.ru" and so on.
Let's try using an example to start mail on "Google". At the top of the site, find and click "Mail", a new window will appear to enter the mail and your account. Since you don't have a Google mail yet, press the red button in the upper right corner - "Create an account". Next, personal data is filled in - first name, last name, username, password, gender, date of birth, mobile phone, alternate mail address. You create the username yourself, it mustbe unique (if there is already a user with such a login, the system will warn you and ask you to enter a different name), consist of Latin letters, the length of the name is from 6 to 30 characters. Keep in mind that if you are going to conduct business correspondence via email, then you should come up with and choose more discreet logins.
Next, you need to enter a password for the mail. It should be strong enough, preferably containing uppercase and lowercase letters, symbols and numbers, and at least 8 characters long. Enter the password again to confirm it.
Date of birth on this site must be entered in order to have access to materials in accordance with your age. The fact is that a Google account allows you to have access to services such as Gmail (mail), YouTube (video portal) and Google+ (social network). You can set your account so that no one sees your age.
Gender and mobile phone number are optional.
To register your mail, it remains only to prove that you are a real person (not a robot), and enter the indicated Latin letters on the keyboard. If the signs are difficult to read, you can click on the "Audio" sign, the system will dictate them to you. If you do not want to do this, please provide your mobile phone number. A confirmation code will be sent to your phone in the form of SMS, you will need to enter it in the "Confirm account" field.
So, you have your own e-mail box, youyou can send and receive emails. How to write a letter? We find the "Write a letter" button, in the window that appears in the "To" field, write the recipient's address. If you want someone else to receive a copy of the letter, enter another email address in the "Copy" field. The "Subject" field can be left blank, but if you specify the subject and essence of the letter, it will be more convenient for the recipient. You can write text in the letter, format it, use the "Attach" button or the "Paperclip" icon to attach files, insert links, photos, pictures, save a draft of the letter. You can check the spelling before clicking the submit button. If you want to know for sure whether the addressee received and read it, check the "Notify me when read" box.
It's easier to read received emails - you just need to click on a new email (usually in bold). If you no longer wish to receive emails from a certain author, you can mark one of them as spam. Further, all letters from this address will be automatically sent to the Spam folder. So now you have an idea of how to use e-mail, chat with business partners and friends, register on social networks, shop online and much more.
