How to make your email easier?

So, you were able to create an email. How to log into mail?

It would seem that everything is very simple, but you need to pay attention to several important nuances. After all, sometimes it is very difficult to find answers to the simplest questions. After all, the majority takes this for granted, and there are no discussions on such topics on forums for the reason that it is simply indecent to discuss such basic things. Therefore, “just in case,” we will consider this issue in more detail.

It is very important that you do not fall for the bait of so-called phishers (or fishermen), who replace the sites you need with fake ones. Having accepted them as the original, you can tell these scammers your username and password through a special login form. Moreover, this rule applies not only to logging into email, but also to logging onto any sites on the Internet where you are asked to log in, that is, enter your username and password (for example, the same forums). When working with letters via the web interface, remember the following nuances:

To log in to your email account, create a bookmark in your browser and log in only through it each time. It is better to do this even if you have been sent a letter from the mail service with a link to follow. After all, such a link may also turn out to be a fake, and you will simply “ pick up
” viruses.
You can also use a tab pinned to the browser panel
.
Make sure that the tab has an open web interface for your email. In Google, this is easy to do: move the mouse cursor to the tab and right-click on it. In the menu that appears, you need to select the “ Pin tab
” item, after which the tab will be reduced in width and will be moved to the far left position. Once you close and reopen your browser, the tab will automatically open and you will always have quick access to your email.
If you do not have a bookmark for a particular service in your browser (for example, the cache was unsuccessfully cleared (how to clear the cache in a browser, read the article: " ", the OS was restored from an image, etc.), open the browser and find the official website of this service . All you need to do is write “login to Google mail” in the search engine, and the first link will take you to the required site. Then all that remains is to create a bookmark in the browser or install a shortcut on the desktop. This can be done by left-clicking on the icon located on the left in the address bar, and then pressing Win + D on the keyboard. Now release the mouse button.
To make working with your account even easier, use (however, in this case you will need to specify the login and password for the “email”). These extensions will monitor all messages arriving in your inbox and notify you about it in various ways (for example, via SMS).
When working with large volumes of letters or with a large number of accounts, we advise you to use an email client program. For example, you can select “ M2 Client
”, which is built into the Opera browser.
True, there are other options, like “ The bat
” or Outlook.
Both of these options require additional payment. A free extension that is very popular is a program developed by the Firefox browser. It is called Mozilla Thunderbird
.

Yahoo!

Before creating an email on your phone, download the Yahoo mail client from the App Store or Play Store. Next, to add a new account:

tap on the “Register” button;
in the window that opens, enter your first name, last name, phone number, date of birth, as well as your desired login and password (gender is not required);
click “Continue”;
confirm sending a verification SMS to the specified mobile number (you can also choose a call in which the bot will read out the required numbers to you by voice);
enter the received data in the appropriate field and click “Check”;
Tap “Start” to go to the created mailbox.

Which email should I choose?

Before you set up mail on Android (Mail-Android), you should know that there are many sites on the Internet that will provide you with an email box with great enthusiasm. But beauty and convenience are not the most important thing in this matter, because not all clients are equally reliable: some are suspected of reading personal information from letters, some are malfunctioning, etc.

Most users of the Internet community recommend paying attention to the following email clients:

Gmail from the Google search engine;
"Yandex.Mail" from the domestic search engine;
Mail.ru from a large Internet company.

In order to register a mailbox, just go to the main page of any of the above resources and select the “Mail” section. As for a smartphone, before setting up mail on Android, you must have a proprietary application from a particular client. You can download the official utility from the same Play Store.

Next, we will analyze each client in more detail.

Enter the resulting numbers in the appropriate field.

Registration in Microsoft Outlook should be done quickly: if you leave the application at one of the steps, it will return to the start screen without saving the data.

Gmail

Before setting up mail on Android, it’s a good idea to look at the list of installed applications. In 95% of cases, there will be an email client from the famous search engine Google, that is, you won’t have to download and install anything.

Naturally, the box is primarily designed to interact with its own service. If you previously had to work with the Android operating system, then you probably already have an account from Google mail, and if not, then registration will not take much time. All you need is your full name, age and place of residence, and the rest of your profile can be filled out later.

The search engine provides its clients with 15 GB of cloud space for use. Enough for clips, audio and other documents. In addition, the mail has excellent spam protection and various filters for proper sorting of incoming correspondence, so not a single letter will be lost.

Using multiple mailboxes on one smartphone

To save your time and space on your smartphone, you can set up to receive letters from various email services in one mailbox . This can be done either from the browser (but this is not always convenient) or using standard smartphone utilities.

These methods differ somewhat in how they work, so you should choose the one that is more convenient for you:

If you set up automatic collection of letters from another address, then all new messages will arrive in one account. In this case, you will not need to connect other services to the mail client. For example, when you log into Yandex.mail, you will see in your inbox list messages from all accounts from which the mail robot automatically picks up letters.
The second method is to connect multiple accounts to one application. In this case, you will also begin to receive all letters in one “Inbox” section, but only in this program. If you log into your account from a browser or other service, there will be correspondence only from this account.

After you have created a new email, take care of its security: enable two-factor identification, and also (if the service allows) set up security questions to restore access.

How to add a mailbox to Gmail

To add another email address to the standard email receiving utility on Android:

Open Gmail and go to settings, this can be done by swiping right from the home screen or using the “sandwich” icon in the upper left corner (the three-dash icon).
Select "Add account".
Click on the name of your mail service or select “Other” if it is not in the list.
In the window that opens, enter your username and password. If you select the “Other” option, you may need to enter additional mail server data; they can be found in the technical support of a particular service.
Tap on the “Login” button.
Allow Gmail access to the mail service - without it, it will not be able to collect letters.
Configure the synchronization frequency and other automatic collection parameters (you can change these later).
If desired, enter a name for the new account.

When adding Mail.ru mail to Gmail, sometimes an error occurs, in this case, connect the mailbox through the “Others” menu

Adding an account on iPhone

The process of linking a new account to the native Mail app on iOS:

go to your phone settings;
select the "Mail" program;
expand the “Accounts” section;
tap “New account”;
select your postal service or the “Other” option;
enter your login password, and (if necessary, other data).

If you need to enter mail server parameters, you can find them out from the company's technical support.

Features of mail registration on various devices

We learned how to create an email address, but there are certain nuances of creating it through various devices. So, let's try to sort them out.

How to Create a Gmail Email - Detailed Guide

note

The advantage of a laptop is its size, the ability to see the entire interface and make settings with ease. You can copy an additional window or place the icon on the desktop, which will simplify your task of logging into the box.

When registering for a specific email account, you must remember that tens of thousands, if not millions of people have previously used the service. And a situation may arise that the login you have chosen (the name of your address, containing up to @) is already occupied by another user.

There are two options for selecting a login:

Use of your first and last name. Words should be written in Latin transliteration.
Using other words. But here you need to be careful. Because very often, for fun, users use words such as: bunny, snowflake, cat and the like. However, if you use mail for business matters, you will find yourself in awkward situations.

Remember that the password is the key to your mailbox. And it must be reliable so that no attacker can get close to the data. Typically, experts recommend creating a password from capital and small letters, adding numbers and changing transliteration. There must be at least 8 characters! Remember, if your email is not secure, your data will be available to other people who get rich by selling it.

Many services offer a convenient feature - read receipts. It works like this: after you have sent or received a letter, the system automatically notifies you of its delivery, and when it is read, you or a specific recipient will receive a read notification. This is very convenient because you will get a 100% guarantee that your message served its purpose.

You can also set up a forwarding feature where emails from certain people or all mail will be forwarded to someone else. This will save you time on shipping.

How to forward emails from old mailboxes

Step 1. You need to log into your profile. Click on the cog above the letters.

Step 2. Select “Settings” from the pop-up list.

Step 3. Go to the “Accounts and Import” tab, scroll to the middle. Find the treasured item “Receive mail from other accounts” and select “Add”.

Step 4. In the window that appears, enter your previous email address and click “Next”.

Step 5. We are offered 2 options:

Synchronization using Gmailify is necessary for those who are going to continue to use the old e-mail. You simply connect it to Gmail and you will send and receive correspondence directly from it.
If you just want to save messages and contacts, but do not intend to use your old e-mail, select import (POP3).

When you've made a decision, move on.

Step 7. You will see scary words: SMTP protocol, access and delete emails - agree. This is permission so that you can work with mail from another mailbox without restrictions.

Step 8: Congratulations! Now you can read all messages from one site/application.

If for some reason you want to stop receiving correspondence from other mailboxes, click “Disable” in the settings.

Collecting letters

The GMail email client is distinguished by its reliability, pleasant and functional appearance, as well as smart filters for working with letters, so it can be called the optimal choice for the owner of a gadget on the Android platform.

To collect emails from other accounts, you must perform the following steps:

launch Gmail and log in to the system;
pull out the “curtain” from the left edge and go to the “Settings” section;
find the menu item “Add account”;
in the section for selecting email clients, select the one you need from the list: “Yandex”, “Mail.Ru”, etc.;
enter your login (mail address) and password;
Now mail from another account will appear in your GMail inbox.

Before setting up mail for Android in the Gmail service, it’s a good idea to know that the client does not delete letters from other accounts, but only duplicates them, but this point can be changed in the settings.

Testing the usability of Outlook

Internet users call Microsoft Outlook the ideal client for a corporate network. Its One Drive cloud integration, multi-box support, and extensive customization are perfect for the job. It is also highly compatible with Microsoft Exchange Server. You can create an account on a Samsung, Asus, Xiaomi or any other phone:

The key disadvantage is immediately worth noting long installation from Play Market.
You must specify the account with which you plan to work in the application and click the “Continue».

The application offers enter password to access the box.
After entering your password and confirming your account, Outlook asks for access to the main built-in mail and phone functions, after which the authenticity of the box is checked again.
The last step before use becomes setting, consisting of 2 points.

Connecting Android to Windows local network

Outlook is a truly convenient application for your smartphone. Thanks to the built-in calendar, you can immediately plan meetings and transactions , and the high speed of sending messages will only save time. The only drawback is that it is impossible to block recipients sending spam. But this will soon be eliminated by the developers.
