• How to set up a mailbox on your phone. Setting up email. Setting up mail using the operating system itself

    In the 21st century, an electronic mailbox is relevant, because without it it is impossible to register on any social network or other services. There are several ways to create an email account on the Internet.

    How to create an email in Yandex

    You can create your mailbox on different hosting sites: Google, Yandex, Rambler, Mail and others. They all provide free services. One of the most popular services is Yandex Mail, which provides users with 20 GB of memory for their mailbox. Advantages of Yandex:

    • thoughtful interface down to the smallest detail;
    • convenient email filtering system;
    • presence of a built-in translator;
    • high resource security;
    • spam protection.

    As for the disadvantages of Yandex mail, users note the limitation of mailbox sizes and the difficulty of setting up the receipt of letters through client programs. How to create mail on this resource:

    1. Go to Yandex, click the “Register in mail” button.
    2. Fill in the fields that appear: First Name, Last Name, Login.
    3. The system will then ask you to create a password and security question.
    4. When filling out the data, you are asked to provide a mobile number, but this is not required.
    5. To confirm, enter the captcha in the appropriate box, accept the terms of the agreement and use your email.

    Create a mailbox on Gmail.com

    This email is a product of Google Corporation. It has a very user-friendly interface, and its capabilities are far ahead of its competitors. The biggest advantage of Gmail.com is grouping emails into folders and organizing them. The security of the service remains high. The Google resource also provides:

    • the ability to link email to phone;
    • sending an access code via SMS;
    • complete absence of spam;
    • two-factor authentication and much more.

    The disadvantage of Gmail.com is the small amount of memory for storing letters - only 15 GB, which users have to share with Google Drive.

    You can create a mailbox on the service like this:

    1. Go to Gmail, select “Create an account.”
    2. Enter the requested data in the registration sheet that appears.
    3. If filled in correctly, the system will immediately go to the “Login” dialog box.
    4. You will immediately receive informational messages via email to set up your Gmail profile.

    Register your email on Rambler

    This is one of the oldest Internet services, which was originally used as a search engine, and then became a large media portal with great capabilities. Rambler.ru mail allows you to send to its users, in addition to letters, a variety of multimedia files (photos, videos, audio). Among the advantages of the service are a warning about the presence of a virus in a received or sent file and the best level of anti-virus security. The big minus of Rambler mail is the small size of the mailbox - only 2 GB.

    How to create an e-mail on Rambler.ru:

    1. Go to the Mail.rambler.ru website, find the mail login form.
    2. You can register a box in 2 ways: through social networks or according to the standard procedure.
    3. For the second option, you need to fill out the proposed fields with your data, and then click “Register”.
    4. After confirmation of registration, the mailbox can be used.

    Registration on Mail.ru

    Another popular service for creating email. Free email in the Mail.ru browser has many advantages:

    • simple and convenient interface;
    • the ability to collect letters from all user mailboxes;
    • reliable protection against fraudsters;
    • unlimited memory capacity, increasing as emails accumulate;
    • cloud storage with 25 GB of disk space.

    Mail on Mail.ru has one drawback - a not very successful spam filtering system (spam cutting). Otherwise, it is very well thought out, connected to many services and games, which is why it is popular in Russia and a number of other countries. Registering a mailbox is simple:

    1. Go to the Mail.ru domain, select the “Mail registration” column.
    2. In the tab, enter the required personal information and create a Login.
    3. Two protocols are used to receive mail: POP3 and IMAP, select the one you need.
    4. Next, you will be asked to enter a password, select one of the services - Mail.ru, Bk.ru or List.ru - and complete registration.

    How to create mail on an IOS phone

    If you have an Apple smartphone, most users register the built-in iCloud mailbox after the first turn on. If this does not happen or you need to connect another e-mail, you can do it manually:

    1. Open the settings of your iOS smartphone, then find the sections “Mail, Calendar, Contacts” - “Add Account”.
    2. Find the one you need in the list of providers (Mail, Gmail, Rambler, Yandex and others).
    3. Enter the requested registration information.
    4. Wait for the box to connect.

    How to set up email on a mobile phone?

    1. With your hands.
    2. First of all, connect the GPRS service to your operator

      It is worth noting that many phone models allow you to automatically configure GPRS parameters, i.e. you don’t mess around, don’t change anything, but simply receive an SMS from the operator, turn off and turn on the phone again. Well, if you have a mobile phone that cannot automatically configure the Internet (the operator’s support service will tell you about this), then you will have to suffer a little. Again, details at the link given above.

      So, we connected GPRS, what great fellows we are! Now, as for the mail itself. You can create an email in two ways. The first one is the easiest. Some cellular plans include the Mobile Mail service. If your tariff plan includes such a service, then feel free to call their toll-free number and activate this service. Then you need to find out which number to send the SMS to in order to gain access to the Internet service. You can find out the number by using the subscriber directory that you received when purchasing a connection package or simply call the help desk.

      Once you find out the number, send two SMS messages to it.
      1 USR Username is your login, consisting of Latin letters or numbers. For example, USR Mr Bobo.
      2 PSW Password. As you already guessed, this will be your password. For example, PSW bobo12345. After sending these two messages you will receive a confirmation. Login and password are used to set up mail on your phone. After you receive a letter to your email, an alert is immediately sent to your mobile phone. And then you just need to contact the server to receive your letter on your phone.

      We use the second method if our operator does not have the Mobile Mail service or you do not want to use the operator’s mailbox, but want to set up your phone to collect mail from your “native” mail account (it can be on any server like mail.ru, rambler.ru , gmail.com, etc.) .

      What do we need in this case? You won't believe the computer. Not forever, but temporarily, that is, you need Internet access. I hope you will find a computer at your disposal - relatives, friends or a computer club will help you with this task. Next, we find servers on the Internet that provide free email (I have already listed some of them above, there is also yandex.ru).

      Then we get ourselves an email address (of course, if you already have one, then you should skip this point). Did you start it? Great. Now you need to enter the settings into your phone.

      Open the menu and find the email settings (usually they are located in the “Messages” folder, but sometimes in the general settings of the phone - the instructions will help you in more detail).

      So, we opened the settings - a long and rather tedious list of parameters will appear there. Since the very first time I spent a long time fiddling with these settings, I want to show you everything in detail using my example to make it easier for you. Well, let's go. (By the way, I myself have a Motorola E398, but I’m giving the settings in general - so with a little thinking, you can adapt them to your phone model).

      ISP settings: GPRS
      This is the connection type. If it says CSD there, you should replace it with GPRS.

      Username: beeline, mts, megafon.

      Enter one of the above, based on the name of your operator.

      Password: ****

      There you write the same thing you wrote in the Username line. If your operator does not require a name and password to use GPRS, you can not enter anything at all in this and the previous paragraphs.

      Leave it as is.

      Email provider: ****

      Leave it as is.

      Protocol: POP3

      If it is not POP3, but IMAP4 that is specified, then you need to change it to POP3.

      User ID

      Here you need to enter the part of the email address that is written before the @ icon. This part is implied by the login we talked about above, that is, Mr.Bobo.

      Here we enter the password, in the example we chose bob

    Step-by-step instructions - how to create an email

    E-mail has become an integral means of business and personal communication. Young people can no longer imagine how to live without her. And all the memories of the older generation about how they had to go to a meeting point to communicate with family and friends seem like an anachronism today.

    Let's not lag behind the times and just as quickly as we once mastered the cell phone, let's conquer the wisdom of the Internet in the same way. And we will start with e-mail, which will allow us to be more mobile in communicating with friends and family, and will also introduce you to many concepts on this still mysterious Internet.

    E-mail is especially relevant for our country, where the quality of regular postal services is depressingly low, and rates for international telephone calls are too high. Email is incomparably more reliable, cheaper and faster than regular mail. A paper letter across the CIS can travel for months, and from America it can take six months. In addition, there is never any certainty that the letter will not get lost in the long chain of transportation and flight of correspondence.

    By email, a letter reaches anywhere in the world in a few seconds. If it happens that you make a mistake with the address, you will be instantly informed why the letter did not reach the addressee. The cost of sending is negligible and is the price of the minutes you spend on the Internet. The cost does not depend on the distance at which your recipient is located.

    1.Create your email address

    The most popular search engines in the vastness of Russia, or, as is commonly called, Runet, are Yandex, Mail and Rambler. You can set up a mailbox in any of them, and they will all work great.
    Mailboxes can be paid or free. We will install a free email service using Yandex as an example.

    Before you go to the post office and register your email address, let’s check again.

    Electronic mail (English e-mail) is written in the form xxxxxxxxx (dog)xxxxxxx.xx
    xxxxxxxx - your login (alias) e.g., sidorov
    dog - @
    xxxxxxx.xxx - search engine, yandex.ru

    Examples of email addresses in different search engines: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]

    The @ sign, commonly known as “dog” in our pronunciation, is the separator between the login and the search service. There are several versions of why it was called that, but none gives a clear interpretation. Let's accept the one that recognizes that the given symbol (@) looks like a curled up dog. In other countries, this icon is called differently, apparently depending on the associations.

    I think you now have an idea of ​​what your email address and the addresses of your friends with whom you will communicate will look like.

    The lesson was written at the request of the magazine "60 years is not age"

    Each email account has a whole bunch of different settings. You can change almost everything in it - information about yourself, password, email design and much more. To do this, you first need to go to your email account, and then open the part that is responsible for changing the parameters.

    Yandex.Mail

    In the upper right corner, next to the name of the email box, there is a gear icon.

    After clicking on it, a small window opens, at the top of which the most popular settings are collected. You can select one of them or click on the All Settings link at the top.

    A page will open where you can change the necessary parameters. On the left side there will be a menu for moving to other settings.

    To return to regular mail (letters), click on “Letters” in the top left.

    Mail.ru

    A page opens with a list of what can be changed in the mail.

    On the left there will be a list for quickly moving to other parameters. You can also return to your emails through it by clicking on the “Go to Inbox” link at the top.

    Gmail.com (mail from Google)

    To change Google mail settings, you need to click on the picture with the image of a gear in the upper right corner of your mailbox.

    A small list will appear. Click on “Settings”.

    A new page will open. On a gray background there will be a bunch of parameters that can be changed.

    But that's not all! At the top there are bookmarks for editing other settings.

    The most important settings

    Of all this heap of settings, I have identified only three that really should be changed - the sender's name, photo and signature.

    The sender's name is what will be written in the "From" part. As a rule, this is the data that the recipient sees when a new letter arrives.

    A photograph is a small image that will be used to decorate each of your messages. This can be either a personal photograph or just a picture. It's not necessary to add it, but many people like it :)

    Signature is text that is automatically added to each letter. Convenient to use for business correspondence so you don’t have to retype contact information each time.

    Where to change

    Yandex.Mail: → Personal data, signature, portrait.

    Mail.ru: Settings → Sender's name and signature. To add/edit a photo, click on “Personal information” in the menu on the left.

    Gmail.com. To change the sender's name:

    To add a signature to letters:

    Adding/changing a photo: click on the upper right circle with the image of a man or an already added photo and select “change photo”.

    How to check

    Let's say in my email settings I specified a name, added a photo and a signature. The easiest way to check the result is to send a letter to yourself, to your own address.

    This is the letter I received in my case:

    This means that this name and picture will now be added to all the letters that I send. And if you open the letter, there will be a signature under its text. In my case this is a contact block.

    If suddenly the result does not live up to expectations, it can always be corrected in the same way (see Where to change).

    Many search engines and Internet services offer to create a free mailbox, each of which provides its own exceptional advantages, but not all can compare with email from Yandex.

    Yandex mail provides the user with unlimited space for storing letters, various protection systems against viruses and malware, and also has intelligent spam protection and allows you to access mail from almost all devices connected to the Internet.

    Creating a mailbox

    Nowadays, even a beginner can open a mailbox. Nowadays, many Internet services offer to create an email for free, and to create it, the user must come up with a unique email address and a complex password. The most popular email services are Yandex, Google, Microsoft and mail.ru.

    Each of these email services provides web-based access in any browser, as well as email clients. As you know, all of the companies described above have search services and also provide access to their other services. Therefore, by registering a free mailbox, you can gain access to all other services of these companies.

    How to create an email on Yandex

    The first step to register mail in Yandex is to create a username and password. Creating a login must be done responsibly, as it must be simple and easy to read. Once registration is complete, your login can no longer be changed, and it will be permanently attached to your email address. For example, if your login is written “login” then your email address will look like this “ [email protected]”.

    Creating a password should also be taken very seriously, otherwise your mailbox may be hacked by scammers.

    To avoid such a situation, you should come up with complex passwords and not worry about hacking your mail, to create which you should take into account its length of at least 15 characters and consist of upper and lower case letters, numbers and contain various special characters.

    Complex passwords are quite difficult to remember, so special programs have been developed to store them, where one of them is “KeePass Password Safe”. In addition to storing passwords, the program provides a password generator, which allows you to quickly create a complex password.

    Registration 1 step

    After you have come up with a username and password, you should begin to directly create an electronic mailbox.

    1. To do this, you should go to the web address https://mail.yandex.ru and click on the “Create a mailbox” button, after which you will be taken to the mail registration page.

    1. On the registration page, you must enter your first and last name, as well as the username and password you previously created. Also pay attention to the “Security Question” item and the data you filled in there must be remembered; they may come in handy if you forget your password. After all the information has been entered, you need to click the “Register” button.

    Registration step 2

    After registration, you will be taken to the main web interface of the mailbox, where further setup of your account will be done in the “Quick mail setup” window and in it you will be able to configure your mailbox step by step.

    1. The first step is to set up labels, which will allow you to group your contacts with colored labels.

    1. The second step allows you to connect other accounts to your mailbox. This is done so that you can receive letters, for example, from mail.ru in your Yandex mailbox.

    1. The third step will allow you to provide additional information about yourself, and will also allow you to select a domain zone and upload a photo.

    1. The fourth step is the final one, which informs you that the initial mail setup is complete. By clicking the “Done” button, you will be able to fully use mail through the web interface.

    Mail settings

    When you go to mail settings, you will see the following items:

    • sender information;
    • collecting mail from other mailboxes;
    • folders and tags;
    • mail processing rules;
    • safety;
    • mail programs;
      other parameters.

    You can safely skip the first three points, since they were configured at the initial stage in the “Quick mail setup” window. The “Mail processing rules” item will allow you to configure a black and white list of contacts.

    For example, if you receive a lot of spam from certain addresses, then you can add them to the “Black List” and their letters will never reach your mailbox again. The white list is used to ensure that all emails sent by your colleagues and friends do not end up in the spam folder.

    Item “Security” will give you the opportunity to replace the old password with a new one. In addition, you can specify additional email addresses and your phone number to restore access if your mailbox is hacked. The visit log makes it possible to track from which IP addresses you accessed your mail.

    Item “Mail programs” allows you to configure the protocol through which your program will collect mail. Yandex mail can use the POP protocol and the more modern IMAP, which is installed by default.

    Item “Other parameters” configures the webmail interface and editing, as well as sending letters.

    Collecting emails on your computer via The Bat

    If you use mail for regular correspondence with friends and relatives or to register for some service, then a browser will be enough for these purposes. But when you use a mailbox at a large company and process hundreds of letters every day, then an email client installed on a PC will become an indispensable assistant for you, where the most popular is The Bat!

    What sets it apart from its competitors is its increased security, speed, and support for all Windows operating systems. Thanks to these qualities, the program is increasingly used in corporate environments, where security and speed are in the foreground.

    The Bat! - is an independent product that can configure work not only with email services, email service providers, but also with Microsoft Exchange servers, which is extremely important in the business environment. The program covers an unlimited number of email boxes, processing and storing letters of a huge scale with provided means of automatic sorting and filtering of messages.

    In addition, the use of IMAP4, POP3 and SMTP protocols ensures secure communication with mail servers and supports SSL and TLS cryptographic protocols of various versions for interaction with the client of all mail services that use encryption of network traffic.

    Installation and configuration

    To install the program on your PC, you should download the client by going to the download page. After downloading the client, launch it and click “Next”.

    After this, accept the terms of the license agreement and click the “Next” button.

    Then you will be given the opportunity to choose a “Full” or “Custom” installation, and with a full installation, all program components are installed, and with a custom installation, only those that you specify and click the “Next” button.

    After selecting the components, a window will appear informing you that the program is ready for installation. Click the “Install” button and wait until it finishes.

    After installation, launch the program. A window for creating a new mailbox will appear.

    Enter your mailbox information and click “OK”. After this, you will be taken to the main menu of the program and will be able to fully use email on your computer.

    Working with the program

    To a user who is used to working with mail in a web interface, The Bat may seem like a rather complicated program, but this is not so, because creating and receiving letters in it is just as easy as in mail from a browser. To create a new message, you just need to go to the “Letter” tab and click the “Create” button. A new window will then open in which you can edit your letter.

    Unlike webmail, email editing in The Bat is quite advanced. You can format text, check text for spelling, and encrypt emails using S/MIME, PGP and OpenPGP.

    Receiving incoming letters is as easy as sending them; all you have to do is open the program and go to your inbox. The program also has an advanced protection system against viruses and various spyware. The Bat can scan both graphic and executable files for viruses. And if you receive an email with a malicious file, the client will definitely issue a warning.

    If you use The Bat at work and other employees have access to your PC, then you can protect it by using a password to access your personal account. To do this, go to the “Box” tab and click the “Password to access the mailbox” button

    One of the advantages of such a program is the use of an offline address book. It provides additional security since many formats have been subject to various attacks that result in data theft. The book is also compatible with many modern formats, which allows you to store not only mail data in it.

    Thanks to the use of plugins that provide additional email protection, which can be created by developers, The Bat has gained additional popularity in the corporate environment.

    To sum it up, we can say that an email inbox is an indispensable assistant that helps people communicate both at home and at work. As you can see from the article, even the most novice user can create an email. The use of email in our time remains very relevant, since this type of transmission is one of the main ones in the Internet world.
