Email - where to create it, how to register a mailbox and choose the best of the free Email services. Step-by-step instructions - how to create an email

In the 21st century, an electronic mailbox is relevant, because without it it is impossible to register in any social network and other services. There are several ways to get mail on the Internet.

How to create an email in Yandex

You can create your mailbox on different hostings: Google, Yandex, Rambler, Mail and others. All of them provide free services. One of the most popular services is Yandex-mail, which provides users with 20 GB of storage space for their mailbox. Advantages of Yandex:

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

As for the disadvantages of Yandex-mail, users note the limitation in the size of the box and the difficulty of setting up receiving letters through client programs. How to create mail on this resource:

Go to Yandex, click the "Register in the mail" button.
Fill in the fields that appear: First name, Last name, Login.
Then the system will ask you to create a password and secret question.
When filling in the data, it is proposed to indicate a mobile number, but this is not required.
To confirm, enter the captcha in the appropriate column, accept the terms of the agreement and use e-mail.

Make a mailbox on Gmail.com

This email is a product of Google Corporation. It has a very user-friendly interface, and in terms of capabilities it is 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 resource from Google also provides:

the ability to bind mail to the 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:

Go to Gmail, select "Create an account".
Enter the requested information on the registration form that appears.
If filled in correctly, the system will immediately go to the "Login" dialog box.
Informational messages will be sent to your email immediately to set up your Gmail profile.

Register mail 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 opportunities. Rambler.ru mail allows you to send to its users, in addition to letters, a variety of multimedia files (photo, video, audio). Among the advantages of the service are a warning about the presence of a virus in a received or sent file and a better level of anti-virus security. A big minus of Rambler mail is the small size of the box - only 2 GB.

How to set up an e-mail on Rambler.ru:

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

Registration on Mail.ru

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

simple and convenient interface;
the ability to collect letters from all user boxes;
reliable protection against fraudsters;
unlimited amount of memory that increases with the accumulation of letters;
cloud storage with 25 GB of disk space.

Mail on Mail.ru has one drawback - not a very successful spam filtering system (spam cutter). Otherwise, it is very thoughtful, connected with many services and games, which is why it is popular in Russia and a number of other countries. Registering a mailbox is easy:

Go to the Mail.ru domain, select the "Mail registration" column.
In the tab, specify the required personal information, come up with a Login.
Two protocols are used to receive mail: POP3 and IMAP, select the one you need.
Next, you will be prompted to enter a password, select one of the services - Mail.ru, Bk.ru or List.ru - and complete the registration.

How to create mail on an IOS phone

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

Open the settings of your smartphone with IOS, then find the sections "Mail, calendar, contacts" - "Add account".
In the list of providers, find the one you need (Mail, Gmail, Rambler, Yandex and others).
Enter the requested registration information.
Wait for the box to connect.

Registration on a mobile device with Android

You can create mail on any mobile device with Android only for the Google service. In all other cases, it means adding an existing email address to the gadget. To create your e-mail in the Google system, you first need to register an account, and then follow these steps:

Open the device settings, find the "Accounts" section.
Click the "Add" line, then select Google.
Create a new e-mail or enter an existing one by clicking the appropriate button.
In the window that opens, enter the requested data, create an email address and password.
After accepting the terms of use of this service, you can use the mailbox from your mobile device.

Hello, dear readers of the blog site. E-mail for me is the main source of communication with the "outside world". Neither, nor any other instant messengers that allow real-time communication, I do not accept.

It's hard to say why. It is possible that they are a great distraction with the need to respond, while the message that came to Email may well wait, because the respondent who sent it does not really count on a quick answer.

But besides direct communication, a lot of all sorts of things are always tied to an electronic box - from social networks to payment systems. Often, the inability to enter your once created and forgotten mail can cost you a lot of nerves when restoring access to any service. Therefore, I offer with all pay attention to the choice of a free mailbox and opportunities to restore access to it.

Also, an important aspect that may affect your choice is the correspondence that comes to your Email. For example, an attacker, having gained access to your mailbox, can (or something that compromises you). Moreover, mail is almost always broken automatically (indiscriminately), so everyone without exception is at risk.

And, of course, the tedious spam that falls on your “soap” in an increasing stream, and in the absence of a sane spam cutter on the service, can turn work with correspondence into torture. Therefore, I will try to conduct an express analysis of the most popular e-mail systems in Runet(free, of course) and at the end I will invite you to vote for the service that you consider the most successful solution. Together, I think, we get the "average temperature in the hospital", which can be radically different from my personal judgment. I hope it will be interesting.

Email mail - selection criteria, nuances of registration and entry

In RuNet, to designate e-mail, they often use words like “electronic”, “soap” (from mail) or: E-mail or Email (although it would be more correct - Email). Personally, I use either "mail" or "soap" in everyday life, although this does not change the essence.

I think it's not worth talking about, but this term, curiously, has a lot of alternative options. For example, in bourgeois it is customary to designate it with the word Email (however, until recently they wrote E-mail, but now the rules have changed and the correct option is the one where the hyphen is not put).

By itself, the technology of transmitting emails directly between the sender and the addressee originated as far back as 1965, and, perhaps, that it is even older than the Internet itself (you can read about that at the links provided). True, the first mailer intended for general access appeared only in 1996 (it was). At the moment, this technology has already been sufficiently refined and standardized (POP3, SMTP or IMAP protocols are used). However, the main problem still remains.

At a slightly earlier stage of the existence of Email, there was also in Runet, which, after passing through a number of mail servers, turned the text into an unreadable and difficult-to-recover set of krakozyabrs. Now this is extremely rare. But lately, a serious problem has become (up to 90% of all correspondence can be spam), which comes even to a newly created (registered) mailbox.

The first mail services in Runet appeared quite a long time ago. The oldest of them is e-mail from Mail.ru, which opened already in the last millennium (in 1998) and offered us the opportunity for the first time to create a free mailbox in the Russian-language interface in order to receive correspondence from our friends, or some , about which I have already written in some detail.

Actually, it is this fact, most likely, that became the predetermining factor in the current arrangement of free mail services on the Runet market:

The information on the graph is true a year and a half ago, but in general it shows quite well the preferences of Runet users. But it should be borne in mind that many users, having mailboxes, for example, on Mail.ru, do not use this service themselves, but redirect mail to their main mailbox (for example, I have had it in Gmail since 2005).

Before signing up for email, think about...

Immediately I would like to say without reference to any service.

Firstly, now it is already difficult to choose a name for your Email as you wish, because tens of millions of users who have registered before you have sorted out everything that is popular, not very popular, and even completely exotic. You will either have to show remarkable imagination, or choose something not very well remembered.
Secondly, in addition to the login (the name of your future e-mail), you also specify a password during registration. For convenience, many of us use simple passwords (for example, before my mailbox was hacked, I had the password “123456” on it, because I thought that no one needed it for free), or the same password is indicated during registration almost every all services (social networks, payment systems, forums, mailers and others). In both cases you are taking a big risk, because:
1. Absolutely any e-mail box is valuable for a hacker, because then he, along with a bunch of others, will drive it to spammers at a reasonable price, and for this you can get an account blocking in your free mail service. Hacking is carried out by automatic selection using the database of the most popular combinations or special dictionaries.
2. By programmatically scanning the contents of your Email, the attacker will extract from it accounts in social networks, monetary systems, data for accessing forums and other things necessary in the life of a hacker, which can then be sold wholesale or retail (or monetized independently).
3. Even if passwords for these useful things are not found, then it will always be possible to request their recovery, and in most cases accounts will be tied again to this very hacked Email.
4. And besides, the password and login from the mailbox are, which means they will allow you to access many services of Mail.ru, Yandex or Google (if you rent an email address from them), which again can lead to unpleasant consequences.
5. In addition, you may be blackmailed to return the email or confidential data stored in it. There are a lot of options, and in this case there will be, as a rule, one payment method - paid SMS.
6. Well, and the rarest case - they will break you purposefully by order of ill-wishers or competitors. In this case, only a really strong password and its recovery using an SMS message that will be sent to the cell phone number specified during registration can help.
Therefore, use my advice when registering in any service, and in order not to forget them later,. Well, if you really want to elevate security on your computer to its apogee, then you cannot do without it. As the saying goes, just because you're not paranoid doesn't mean you're not being followed.
Now most email services will allow you to use your mobile phone number, which you specify when registering with the email service, or you can add it later in your profile settings. Of course, you can use the security question and the answer in the old fashioned way (if you remember them, which is far from a fact), but SMS to your phone is much more reliable and easier.
Therefore, if you value your electronic box, then it is better to provide them with a mobile phone number. Yes, you disclose your privacy to some extent, because by the number they can, if requested from the competent authorities, find out your installation data. But if you are an “honest taxpayer”, then the convenience of restoring access to Email will be more important for you than the hypothetical exposure of your incognito. However, this conclusion is valid only in relation to the "whales" of the Internet business, because they have no reason to leak your numbers to spammers or other "radishes". IMHO.

Login to your email

It seems to be a simple question - how to enter the mail? However, there are a few points here that may be useful for a beginner "internet user" to know. When I created this blog, the main idea was that it is most difficult to find answers to the simplest questions, because for most they are taken for granted, and answering, for example, on forums to “stupid questions” is considered the height of indecency (as a rule) . Therefore, I decided to dwell a little more on the problem of logging into e-mail.

In general, everything is simpler than simple, but the main thing don't get caught by accident phishers (fishermen), who, without seeing the catch, tell them your username and password through the login form. This not only applies, but also to any other services where authorization is required (login and password).

Therefore, if you work with e-mails via the web interface (you can use the mail client program on your computer, which will collect correspondence from all your mailboxes), then follow a few of my simple tips:

But in general to improve the convenience of working with mail you can use, for example, special extensions for browsers (you will need to tell them your login and password from your mailbox), which will quickly track new messages that appear in your Inbox folder and somehow signal you about it. You can read about similar email gadgets for browsers or. There is an article about it, but I'm afraid that few people have it already installed, because Opera has been working on the Chrome engine for quite some time.

And finally, to work with a large volume of correspondence or with a large number of email accounts on different services, you may need to mail client program. Personally, I use the M2 client built into the old Opera and I'm so used to it that I can't even describe it in words. However, there are many other options, the most famous of which are probably Outlook from the Microsoft office suite and "The bat". True, both of them are paid. And of the free ones, the most widely heard is probably Mozilla Thunderbird from the browser developer Firefox.

Which free email service to choose?

In principle, there are quite a few of them, but I will list only the main ones that can be considered massive and verified enough to make a judgment about them. Of course, they are all free, but differ in a number of indicators, such as:

Ease of use (low barrier to entry)
Built-in functionality
Provided storage space for correspondence (mail box size)
Security of use (protection against hacking and account access recovery system). This also includes protection against viruses in letters and from fraudsters (phishers). In addition, the confidentiality of working with the mailbox is also important, because your messages can be intercepted on the way to the mail server. In this case, the best option would be to operate an online e-mail service using the HTTPS protocol (with encryption of transmitted traffic).
Availability of effective spam filtering (spam cutter)

All these features combined and serve as the main selection criteria of the service where it makes sense to register your Email. Next, I will give a brief description of the free email services participating in today's tender, and at the end of the article you will find a form to vote for one or more of them. You can consider their order in this list arbitrary, because it would probably be incorrect to arrange them in accordance with my personal preferences in relation to the voting.

gmail(Gmail, Dzhimail, aka Zhmail or just Google Mail) is a serious player both in the global free Email market and in the domestic Runet market. He entered the game with a significant delay in relation to the main competitors (in 2005 a beta was released, and in 2009 a fully functional version of the service). However, he performed powerfully and managed to win an army of adherents, partially pulling the audience from competitors' services that had already existed for a long time (in Runet, these are Mail.ru, Rambler and Yandex).

You can tell a lot about this email service, but why repeat yourself if all this has already been described:

If the above descriptions are too lazy to read, then sublimating the information presented there, I’ll say that the Gmail interface is quite digestible, and the functionality of this service is not only ahead of all competitors, but is also constantly expanding with innovations being tested in the “laboratory”. Letters in it can be grouped, put into folders, assigned labels, and also build chains from them to track the history of correspondence.

After registering the mailbox, you will have at your disposal 15 gigabytes of free space, which is quite enough to store regular correspondence. True, these same 15 gigs Gmail will share what you need to know.

In terms of security, your Email account will also be all right, because access to the online service is carried out via the HTTPS protocol (in the address bar you will see “https://” instead of the usual “http://”), and if you wish, you you can enable two-step authentication, which I highly recommend doing (read about it in the materials above). In this case, without an SMS message to your mobile phone, no one will be able to enter your email box (unless he uses your computer and browser that remembered entering this code). This will also help you quickly restore access if you lose your password.

The spam cutter in Google email usually works perfectly. But sometimes when sending mail to this mailbox, for example, from its hosting (then), it can all end up in the Spam folder, but Gmail filters allow you to set up rules by which it will be automatically extracted from there and sent to the Inbox folder ". Filters in general can solve a number of problems, so I advise you to get to know them better.

Yandex Mail- the service appeared a little later than the analogue from Mail.ru, but quite seriously managed to pull over the blanket (with users). Its new online interface is simple, well thought out and fast enough (you can customize it for yourself). Working with letters and filtering them are very convenient (the timeline is especially prominent, allowing you to view correspondence for a certain period).
There is a built-in translator (described here) and the ability to send free SMS notifications (you will need to specify the phone number of the person to whom you are sending the letter).
You can read more about the functionality of this e-mail box here:
Yandex Mail divides the allocated space for correspondence, and the restrictions on the size of the box are the same - 10-20 GB (depending on the conditions you have met, which you will find in the article about Ya.Disk). With security, everything is fine here too - HTTPS is used and it is possible to activate the e-mail login mode only after entering the confirmation code that comes to the mobile phone.
According to my subjective impressions, the anti-spam filter used in Yandex called "Spam Defense" shows almost the best results among all the services listed in this article. Spam will not get through, but still, it would be better to skim through the Spam folder before cleaning it for legitimate correspondence to get into it. What if... And this applies to any mailers.
E-mail Mail.ru- the oldest service in Runet. A few years ago, he underwent significant changes, which allowed him to compete on equal terms with his younger counterparts. Working with correspondence and managing it does not cause any complaints - it is quite simple and effective. Now you can view emails sent to all your Emails registered in Mail.ru in one window of the web interface, which is quite convenient.
In terms of security, after the update, the service has also become much better. The HTTPS protocol is used, and messages are checked for viruses by Kaspersky. You can also specify a mobile phone number, but, as I understand it, it is used only to restore lost access to your email account, although you can do something in the settings to enhance security (on the "Password and Security" tab). Read more about this service here:
Email from Mail.ru after the update is positioned as dimensionless. In fact, you are initially provided with 10 GB for correspondence, well, as the mailbox is filled with letters (and attachments), the size will increase by another couple of gigs each time. Do not forget, by the way, that they also have a service called , which is also closely related to e-mail, but has its own free disk space of a fairly decent size - 25 GB.
I didn’t like the spam cutter in Mail, so I redirect all letters from these emails to my main mailbox in Gmail, where he already compensates for the shortcomings of this mail service with his spam cutter. In fact, this is pure IMHO, and it is possible that now the fight against spam in Mail.ru is at a higher level (comment on this point, please, if there is something to say).
Rambler Post- is also one of the oldest Runet services, which has undergone significant changes not so long ago. True, they did not go as smoothly and successfully as in Mail.ru. Yes, the online interface turned out to be as simple and clear as possible, but the functionality could have been richer. In addition, there were many complaints about the stability of the service, and in particular about the inefficient spam cutter.
In terms of safety, it also does not shine. It seems like the HTTPS protocol is used (but the browser swears at the insecurity of working with this node), and everything else remained at the level of the turn of the century, when this brainchild of Rambler was born. By the way, I did not find any information about checking for viruses. The size of the box is also not impressive - only 2 GB. You can read more about it here:
I think that the main task of the developers at the moment is not to attract new customers, but to retain existing ones who have registered email with them a long time ago and simply do not know that there are better options somewhere (or they are afraid of losing their Email out of ignorance, although it is quite possible to set up forwarding in the Rambler settings to an email in another service that you want to use as the main one). IMHO ().
Outlook.com(formerly Hotmail) is the successor to the Internet's oldest public mail service (Hotmail). Why Microsoft needed to rebrand is not entirely clear to me (it is possible that Hotmail has already become associated with something not of very high quality). The interface of the service is extremely simple and understandable, but the settings system seemed to me very clumsy (or just not customarily done). You can figure it out, but not with half a poke.
At one time, I wrote a little about this mail service, along with a description of the work of the Bing search engine (the brainchild of the same Microsoft):
In general, MelkoSoft has some kind of aggravation with the renaming of services. Relatively recently, I wrote an article about. Apparently there is too much money and they spend it on the promotion of new brands. I don't keep up with them. Now the article about cloud storage will have to be edited.
Regarding Outlook.com. With security, everything is not bad with them (still they would have been bad with such and such budgets). By default, a newly registered mailbox is given 5 GB, which will then increase as needed. And in OneDrive (this is their version of cloud storage, not bad, by the way, although it changes names all the time), they give another 15 GB for free to ordinary users, and as much as 25 GB for Windows license holders. I can’t say about the spam cutter and virus check, but everything should be on the level, because the owners are hefty rich bourgeois.
Yahoo Mail- another bourgeois service of a very respectable age. Their offer is the most generous - 1 TB of free space. Access is via the HTTPS protocol, but it’s difficult to judge security, because I’m not very familiar with this e-mail system yet (I’m thinking of writing a separate note about it).
The interface looks quite nice (it is possible to change the theme). As far as I understand, if you do not use the box for a long time (more than six months), your account in this system is automatically deleted. In general, the dimensions of the box are moving, but read that in the above publication.
- for those who are very much concerned about the security of their correspondence. Here letters are sent in secure envelopes (encrypted) and only those who have the password can read them. The service in the database is free, but if you need more space for mail, you will have to pay extra.
- there are quite a few online services that provide disposable and anonymous mailboxes that can be used without registration. They are great for signing up somewhere where you don't want to use your primary email.

Good luck to you! See you soon on the blog pages site

How to register (create) an email and what you need to remember when registering

Registering a mailbox is not a complicated procedure, we will first look at it in general terms, without being tied to any particular mail aggregator.

Here you can highlight the following points:

First of all, it's getting harder lately come up with an original name for your account, because tens and even hundreds of millions of people have already chosen the names that are the most popular. Yes, and "exotic" has long been sold with a bang, so you have to strain your imagination to come up with something really original, but at the same time quite simply memorable.
In addition, you need to provide a password. Many people hate complex passwords because they are easy to forget. Therefore, when registering mail, very simple passwords are used, such as the date of birth or, in general, “1234567”. Often users use the same password for all services, as well as for all their accounts in social networks, in all forums, blogs, but this only simplifies the task for attackers.
Almost all email sites use a mobile phone number user in order to send a code there in case you need to restore access to your account. As we have already said, this number is indicated by you during registration, and if your mobile number has changed, you can add a new number in the special profile settings. Older system- the use of a security question and an answer to it, for example, mother's maiden name, favorite car brand, etc. But most users find that the option with a password in SMS is easier. Therefore, we advise you to provide your mobile phone number, since you have already decided to open a mailbox (although this contributes to the disclosure of your privacy to some extent). By this number, for example, they can find out your installation data (but only if the request comes from the competent authorities). However, if you do not have tax debts, you have nothing to fear, and the convenience of recovering your account password via a message to your mobile will be a priority for you. But be careful. This applies only to professional companies in the Internet business, because only they do not see the point in selling your money to spammers and other "bad people".

Remember that a simple password puts you at extra risk because:

Any e-mail is valuable for a hacker, because he can sell it to spammers at a good price. As a result, everything will end with the fact that your account will be blocked. How is a password cracked? Using an automatic selection system using the database of the most popular combinations or special dictionaries.
If an attacker scans the contents of your "soap", he will be able to find your pages on social networks, as well as payment systems, will be able to find your data on forums and much more. He will be able to sell all this to the same spammers.
In the event that an attacker cannot crack the password to pages on social networks or payment systems, he can request its recovery, but the account is most often tied to a hacked account.
Remember that the login and password are the entrance to your E-mail, so the hacker automatically gets access to the services of such systems as Yandex, Google, etc. And there are a lot of services in these search engines, these are both personal services and for business (, business, disk), there are similar ones in the Yandex search engine .
Finally, it may come to blackmail, they may demand a ransom in exchange for the data that is stored in your mail. There can be only one payment method - through a paid SMS message.
Very rarely, mail can be hacked by order from enemies and ill-wishers. These can be business competitors or personal enemies, so the only way out is to come up with a password that is as complex and long as possible. At the same time, it is better to indicate in the menu that its restoration occurs only through SMS coming to your mobile number. You must specify this phone number when registering a mailbox. In order not to forget a complex password, we recommend that you use a password keeper KeePass. You can also set a password on your computer or mail folder. There is a special program for this. TrueCrypt.

Which Email service to choose to create a mailbox and how to do it

Here we list only the most basic sites that are massive, have a good reputation and a reliable protection system. After that, you yourself will decide on which site to create an email.

Naturally, each of these services is free, but there are differences in some indicators. The main ones are:

Low entry threshold(in other words, different ease of use of the account);
Service functionality;
The size(or a place to store letters provided by the service);
Anti-burglary system or an account recovery system. It also implies the presence of an antivirus and anti-fraud protection (you can use browser extensions such as or ). It is also very important that the work with e-mail is strictly confidential, because otherwise letters addressed to you may be intercepted on the way to your mail server. Therefore, make sure that the work of the online e-mail service is based on the HTTPS protocol (i.e. the site that encrypts the transmitted information).
The presence of an effective spam cutter.

These are the criteria for choosing a service on which to register a mailbox. Now let's move on to a brief description of the free email sites that are taking part in the tender today. At the same time, we immediately note that the order of the sites in the list is completely arbitrary and has nothing to do with the rating.

Gmail email

Gmail (also known as Google Mail or Gmail). This site has seriously established itself in the global free e-mail market, not to mention the RuNet market. And although it began its work only in 2005 (the fully functional version was released already in 2009), but even in such a short time this monster won the hearts of tens of millions of users.

Moreover, some users of other systems, such as Rambler, Yandex or Mile.ru, also go to Google mail. Now let's look at everything in order.

Registering Gmail. To sign up for Gmail email, go to the official website http://mail.google.com this will open the Gmail site in an adjacent browser window. In the upper right corner, you need to click the blue button " Create an account". Well, then just fill in your personal data.
How to use. After you were able to create Google mail, you are provided with 15 gigabytes of free space where your correspondence will be stored. In fact, this is more than enough for letters for many years, but remember that this amount of memory must be shared with the service Google drive.
In addition, the Google mail interface is very convenient, one might say, ahead of competitors, while it is updated from time to time by Google programmers. You can easily group letters into folders, create special labels, and organize them in order to easily track the history of correspondence.
Once again about safety. Having decided to create Google mail, remember that access to the online service must be carried out using the HTTPS protocol. It is very easy to determine this. The address bar should contain "https://" instead of "http://". If the security of your correspondence and information stored in the mail is very important to you, we recommend switching to two-step authorization. Now no one will be able to enter your account without a password in the SMS that will come to your mobile phone. The only way to break into such a system is to go to your computer or browser, which has already autosaved your password.
Google spam cutter. This program works just fine, only in rare cases when sending a message from the hosting (that is, domain mail) to the mailbox, it may end up in the " Spam". However, Google filters will help you set up rules according to which the message will be automatically retrieved from the " Spam' and be redirected to the folder ' inbox". These filters can serve other purposes as well, so study them thoroughly.

Yandex Mail

This service originated somewhat later than Mail.ru, but it is more popular with users because its interface is easy to use. Also, this interface is well thought out and quickly responds to your commands. Finally, having decided to create Yandex mail, you can set up an account for yourself. It will also be easy to work with letters and filter them. A particularly good idea of the Yandex interface developers was timeline, where you can study the mail only for a certain time (for example, only for one month in a certain year, etc.).

In addition, there is a built-in translator, as well as a program for sending free SMS notifications (you only need to indicate the phone number of the person to whom the notification is addressed). In conclusion– You will be able to create a free email for a domain (for example, [email protected] ).

Finally, Yandex mail shares a place for correspondence with a cloud storage site called Yandex Disk. The box has a size limit, which is up to 20 gigabytes of memory (sometimes half as much, it all depends on the conditions for registering with Ya.Disk).

Security on Yandex mail is also on top- again, HTTPS is used, and there is also an option to activate the E-mail login mode only after you enter the confirmation code from SMS.

Anti-spam system, called on Yandex " SpamoDefence”, showed one of the best results among all the services that we analyze in this article. However, we recommend that you check the folder " Spam» before clearing it, as legitimate information can sometimes get in here. However, this rule is valid for other mailers as well.

Mail.ru mail

This is one of the very first services in the Russian-speaking space. A few years ago, it was seriously upgraded, so it became a serious competitor for younger services. If you decide to open a mailbox in mail.ru, you won't go wrong . Email handling and account management is very efficient and easy. In one window of the interface you can read letters sent to all your Mail.ru mailboxes. Agree, it is very convenient!

Mail.ru - mail service

After Mail.ru was updated, the protection system became much more reliable. Of course, the good old HTTPS protocol is also used here. Letters are scanned by Kaspersky Anti-Virus. It is best to also indicate when registering, although it is used only for password recovery. However, security can be enhanced by clicking on the "Password and Security" tab.

The volume of the box on this service is dimensionless, but initially you will have access to only 10 gigabytes of memory for letters. As the mail fills up, the size will automatically increase by 1-2 gigabytes. Remember that this system also has a service Cloud Mail.ru. It has its own 25 gigabytes of free disk space, although it's tightly coupled with email.

Spam cutter is not very effective here, so we recommend doing it to a Google or Yandex mailbox, where spam protection is more effective. However, the developers of Mail.ru plan to improve the spam cutter.

Email mail from Rambler.ru

This service has not been very popular lately and not everyone can know how to create an email in Rambler.ru. But this is almost the very first e-mail site on the Russian Internet, which also recently underwent a major upgrade. However, as a result, the functionality of such a site turned out to be as meager as it was, and the main improvement concerned mainly the interface, which became easier to use. Also, a lot of complaints related to the stability of the system, as well as the inefficient operation of the spam cutter.

Security, unfortunately, on Rambler is not reliable. And although the HTTPS protocol is used here, the browser constantly indicates that working with this site is unsafe. The size of the box is only 2 gigabytes, and all other nuances have remained at the level of the end of the twentieth century.

Now Rambler developers are only keeping old users instead of looking for new ones. After all, it's easier, because many old customers are already used to this interface and functionality, but they may not know about the new options. Opening a mailbox in Rambler would not be the best idea.

Outlook.com mail

Formerly called Hotmail. No one knows why this rebranding took place, except that many began to associate Hotmail with a hot dog! The interface is extremely easy to use, but the settings system is unusual, although you can figure it out with time.

Outlook mailbox has a good security system, which is not surprising, given the company's budget. At first, the size of the box is limited to five gigabytes, but as needed, they can be increased. Cloud storage on Outlook is called OneDrive, its size is 15 gigabytes. You can purchase a Windows license, and then you will be provided with 25 gigabytes of cloud storage.

Self-cutting and virus checking on Outlook is also on the level, in no way inferior to the same Google or Yandex.

Yahoo mail

Yahoo mail is a foreign service created one of the first. Yahoo mail address is distinguished by extraordinary generosity, because you are immediately provided with a whole terabyte (!!!) of memory in the mail. The security system is good, the HTTPS protocol is respected. You will also like the interface, because there are several design options.

However, Yahoo has its own nuances. For example, if you do not use your account for six months, the system automatically deletes your account. So, it is up to you to decide, it will not be possible to recover the data.

Free services and temporary emails

There are also so-called temporary accounts. It is very easy to create such an Email, but its term " life» fluctuates from several minutes to a month. As a rule, such boxes are used in order not to " shine and keep the correspondence confidential. One of the advantages of temporary accounts is the ability to avoid hacking and spammers, because in such a short time no one will simply have time to harm you.

Abroad, there are dozens of special services for creating temporary sites (How to create a site yourself can be found in the article:) and emails.

In such systems, there is no need to indicate your real data, you can register under a fictitious name, with a fictitious address, etc. however, there are many rogue servers, so to avoid getting into trouble, we recommend that you consider a few examples of proven and reliable temporary email systems.

Thismail.ru is in great demand on the Runet market.. The mail of such a service lives» only 120 minutes. And in order to save your time, this system automatically generates addresses. The site mailforspam.com is interesting in that no password is needed here at all, but you can only receive and read letters, but without the ability to write a response.

Finally, the unmail.ru project is also of interest.. You can set yourself how long this address will be valid (there are options from an hour to a month). The only caveat is that you must indicate your real address.

And now a few words about security. Although free services comply with all network security standards, in order for them to be safe, some rules must be followed. For example, use a long password, do not save suspicious files to your computer, and in no case follow unknown links. If the account access recovery system requires an answer to a secret question, you must remember it.

Today on the net you can come across a large number of ads where hackers offer to hack someone else's email account for a certain reward. In fact, these are simple scammers who use trojans and phishing links to hack. Any site has weaknesses, but administrators and developers monitor them. Therefore, the myth that any email is vulnerable to hacking remains a myth.

How to make your email experience easier?

So, you were able to create an email. How to enter the mail? It would seem that everything is very simple, but you need to pay attention to several important nuances. Indeed, sometimes it is very difficult to find answers to the simplest questions. After all, most take it for granted, and there are no discussions on such topics on the forums for the reason that it is simply indecent to discuss such elementary things. Therefore, “just in case” we will consider this issue in more detail.

It is very important that you do not fall into the trap of the so-called phishers (or fishermen) who replace the sites you need with fake ones. Taking them for the original, you can tell these scammers your username and password through a special login form. Moreover, this rule applies not only to entering the mail, but also to entering 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 e-mail box, create a bookmark in your browser and log in every time only through it. It is better to do this even if you have been sent a letter from the postal service with a link to go. After all, such a link can also turn out to be a fake, and you just “ pick up» viruses.
You can also apply a pinned tab on the browser bar. Make sure the tab has your email web interface open. In Google, this is easy to do: move the mouse cursor over the tab and right-click on it. In the menu that appears, you need to select the item " Pin tab”, after which the tab will decrease in width and will be moved to the leftmost position. After you close and re-open 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 the browser, read the article: ""), the OS was restored from the image, etc.), open the browser and find the official website of this service . You only need to write in the search engine "entrance to Google mail", and the very first link will take you to the required site. Then it remains only 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 it (although in this case you will need to specify the login and password from the "email"). These extensions will track all messages coming to the mail in the Inbox folder and inform 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 the mail client program. For example, you can choose " Client M2”, which is built into the Opera browser. True, there are other options, such as " 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. She bears the name Mozilla Thunderbird.

Disadvantages and advantages of using email

To register a mailbox, it is not enough to know only the technical process itself. You need to understand the advantages and disadvantages of e-mail.

Advantages and disadvantages

So, among the main advantages of using mail can be identified:

Possibility not to reply to the letter immediately, as in social networks.
The ability to distribute correspondence into groups, separate folders, topics.
An exceptionally convenient and understandable interface (this applies to all the services we analyzed);
The presence of a large amount of memory, sorting letters by periods.
Does not require payment.
Your data is protected and remains confidential. Naturally, this is possible only if certain rules are observed.
The presence of an effective spam cutter (but its effectiveness is relative; above we described on which services it pleases, and on which it does not).
Possibility to receive an SMS message when a new message appears in the Inbox folder.
The presence of an antivirus.
Possibility to use mail both from a computer or laptop, and from a mobile phone.

E-mail also has its disadvantages:

It is necessary to come up with a complex, and most importantly, original password, which guarantees the security of the box. Such a password is difficult to remember. And sometimes it's just hard to come up with.
There is always a chance of a mailbox being hacked (when clicking on "phishing" links, downloading files with viruses, etc.).
As a rule, spam cutter does not work effectively on all services. Therefore, you risk getting spam in your inbox. Who knows what it threatens, because such letters often contain suspicious links and viruses, as well as a lot of "nasty" advertising.

findings

It's time to take stock. So, where to open a mailbox, what are the advantages of this or that service, for what purposes are they suitable?

We recommend using Google mail (Gmail), Yandex or Mail.ru. These services are the best offer in terms of a combination of factors, namely: convenient and simple interface, large mailbox size (10-20 gigabytes plus "cloud"), excellent security system, reliable antiviruses, effective spam cutter, mail sorting by periods (on Yandex) or by topic (Google).
You can use these services for any purpose: to communicate with relatives, friends who are far away (for example, abroad); to communicate with business partners, exchange documents in electronic form, to send out business offers, advertise your goods or services, to resolve other business issues with people remote from you (with foreign corporations).
Another option for using e-mail is SEO, etc. For example, if your customer is in another country, he can send you a task by e-mail, and you will perform it remotely, then sending the finished text.
Each of the recommended sites offers to create email on multiple accounts. So, through one of them you can communicate on business issues, and through the other - only personal correspondence, etc.

Good day!

A mailbox (or e-mail, mail, "soap") is now a very necessary tool for almost any computer user. Without e-mail now, not only can not register on most sites, and even a resume for work / study cannot be sent ☺.

There are now dozens (if not hundreds) of services where you can register an electronic mailbox. And, I think that it will be very useful for beginners to collect the most popular of them in this article (with a brief listing of the main advantages of each service). Thanks to such a list, you can go through these popular services and find yourself a fairly short and memorable e-mail.

Hope the information is helpful. So...

By the way, maybe someone will need instructions for creating a mailbox on the Mail.ru portal -

Mail.ru

One of the oldest and most popular mail registration services. In addition, the mail address from Mail.ru is one of the most successful, because. "Mail" in translation from English means "mail".

It has a number of advantages:

free and unlimited mail (the box can contain hundreds of letters, the service does not limit in any way);
in addition to "@mail.ru" you can enter an address like: "@list.ru", "@bk.ru", "@inbox.ru";
good security (availability of two-factor authentication);
the presence of a cloud drive (for transferring large files by mail);

large address book;
more than 100 mail design themes, and much more!

gmail.com

Mail from the world's most popular search engine Google. In addition, one of the few with a Russian interface and the international ending "gmail.com" (it's just that earlier letters did not reach ru mail from some sites and Gmail helped out a lot in this regard).

The main advantages of this mail service:

a sufficiently large volume of the mailbox: you immediately get 15 GB of space that can be filled with any messages and files (more than enough for a start. On many paid services, they give even less ...);
one of the best spam filters (plus you can configure these filters yourself);
mail is always available, 99.99% of the time. Still, Google technologies, just so these technologies would not become the first in the World ☺;
quick search among hundreds and thousands of letters in the mailbox (for example, it is very useful when you want to find it by a single word from a letter (you no longer remember where it came from and who sent it);
after creating mail, you will automatically get access to many Google services (convenient!);
grouping of letters: mail itself automatically arranges letters into various directories (Social networks, promotions, alerts, etc.);
the ability to edit Word and Excel documents online. You can also download the necessary add-ons from the depository to expand the capabilities of basic mail;
very high level of security.

Yandex Mail

Very good and free mail from the famous Russian search engine Yandex. Most of the features are identical to previous servers, however, there are also a few "highlights" that competitors do not have...

Key Features:

other than your usual address" [email protected]" you can use a shorter address " [email protected]", and also use your mobile phone number as a mail name, for example, "mobile [email protected]" (I have not seen this on more than one service ☺);
convenient customizable filters (you can mark messages as important on the fly, you can block certain senders, etc. Even a beginner can configure all this!);
collection of letters from other mailboxes;
a lot of beautiful themes for design;
sending a letter on a schedule (useful when you want to congratulate someone, for example, on a DR, but you don’t want to send it in advance);
there is a lite version for those users who have low-speed Internet;
automatic built-in translator (handy for those who communicate with users abroad in a language other than their own);
there is an application (and, by the way, quite good) for smartphones.

I.UA - your mail

Very multifunctional mail, mainly for residents of Ukraine (the server is very popular, millions of people use it, so I just couldn't help including it in this article ☺).

In addition, you can find a very short, easy, beautiful and memorable e-mail number on it: @i.ua, @ua.fm, @email.ua. For the sake of such a beautiful name (which is easy to remember and dictate) - it's already worth registering here ☺.

Key Features:

very beautiful postal address, like: @i.ua, @ua.fm, @email.ua;
a simple interface made in the style of minimalism (all sorts of little things, large pictures, etc. - everything is removed, only business style and fast page loading);
mail interface can be switched to: Russian, English or Ukrainian;
there is an option of mobile access to mail (address: pda.i.ua);
a sufficiently large mailbox (1 GB), with the ability to send files up to 8 GB (if the file is more than 20 MB, it is automatically uploaded to the I.UA server, and a shortcut link for downloading it is inserted into the letter);
good protection against viruses and spam;
the ability to automatically collect letters from other boxes;
there are functions for sorting letters, for example, letters "at work", "games", "from forums", etc.;
auto-responder function (for example, when you have left somewhere - you can set up alerts for everyone who writes to you: that you are not there yet, and you will answer when you arrive);
notification of new letters via SMS to a mobile phone (very convenient if you have a simple phone on which you cannot install the application);
plus much more (viewing all email attachments, fast downloading of all files in a single archive, powerful email search, etc.).

Rambler

Once the most popular Russian search engine (and with it the mail service). At the moment, the popularity of Rambler is declining, and one of the significant reasons: there are restrictions on the size of the mailbox (its maximum size can reach up to 1 GB, which is not so much today ...).

It is also worth noting the 25 MB limit on the size of the sent letter - you cannot send a photo or clip in such a volume. In addition, when sending letters, you need to enter a control number, which can be very annoying if you send dozens of letters a day (on the other hand, less spam, less need to set up some filters, etc.).

Otherwise, a very solid service, perfect for business correspondence. Convenient and friendly interface, designed in a minimalist style. When registering, by the way, you can also choose alternative domain names (not only "@rambler.ru"): "@lenta.ru", "@ro.ru", "@myrambler.ru" and others.

QIP.ru

Once QIP was a very popular messenger for sending short messages on the Internet. Now the popularity is not the same (there are social networks, mobile phones, various Skype, Viber, etc.), but it's a pity, it was a good time ☺...

The messenger is still working, by the way, and the site also offers to start an e-mail. It will be convenient for those users who use QIP itself (whose common name is "ICQ"): a notification will pop up in the tray about the arrival of new mail. In addition, the address of the form "@qip.ru" is very sonorous and beautiful, it is easy to remember and not difficult to dictate.

Main advantages:

you can pick up a very beautiful and sonorous mail address, because. there are dozens of different domains: "@qip.ru", "@pochta.ru", "@hotbox.ru", "@land.ru", "@nm.ru", "@newmail.ru", "@webmail .ru" and many others;
receiving notifications of letters directly in QIP (in the tray, next to the clock);
good anti-spam filter;
spell check, error correction;
the ability to search for letters throughout the mailbox;
there is a mobile version of mail;
the service is completely free.

Yahoo!

A very popular foreign postal service (in our country, for some reason, it is not taken seriously...). As for mail, it is very, very good, I will give below the main features:

HUGE box size: 1 TB (that's 1000 GB if anyone doesn't know). There is no such thing anywhere else, in my opinion ☺ - you can send a whole hard drive;
convenient and thoughtful design, everything is at hand: sorting, catalogs, smart views (automatic mail catalogue), contact list, diary;
it is possible to create filters, enable / disable the autoresponder;
good compatibility with some foreign services (letters from them will reach such an address, unlike many Russian mailers!);
very high default security: Yahoo! force you to change passwords (from time to time), link your phone (and another e-mail if any), etc.;
there is a convenient contact editor (it is convenient to use even if you have hundreds of them);
it is possible to import contacts from Google, Facebook, etc.;
there is a built-in diary that will help you mark all the important things and not forget about them;
built-in messenger for quick and short messages.

For additions on the topic of the article - merci to everyone in advance!

Good Luck / good luck ☺

Email (email) - a virtual mailbox - for an Internet user, even a beginner, the service is very useful, and sometimes even necessary. In e-mail it is convenient to conduct personal and business correspondence, read the newsletters of sites. In addition to this, in almost every online store, online game, forum or any other web project, registration is not possible without specifying your email address.

This article will introduce you to the best mail services and tell you how to correctly fill in the registration form fields and create a hack-resistant password.

Choosing a mail service

Before registering for email, you need to decide on the mail service - the website on which you will create the mailbox. In order not to get confused when choosing, during the acquaintance, be guided by the following key email criteria:

1. Russian interface support. No matter how good the “overseas” email would be and how many super-convenient functions it would not have, but if you do not know the language in which it is designed, alas, additional difficulties will appear during use. Of course, you can connect an online translator, but, again, this is an extra time investment ...

2. Comfortable email management. This point is especially important for novice users who communicate with the computer on "you". Look at an overview of the email service you are interested in, for example, on Youtube. If from the first minutes of the video it immediately becomes clear which button you need to press to send / read a message, etc., then this solution is definitely for you.

3. The presence of a spam filter. Aggressive advertising is the scourge of the Internet. No matter how you protect your email address from prying eyes, sooner or later messages with tempting offers will “fall in” on it: buy some product, go to some site, etc. But it’s one thing to get rid of this influx of annoying ads manually: sit and “pull out” spammers’ messages from useful emails, and another thing is when filtering (moreover, scrupulous!) is performed automatically, and the Spam folder is cleared in one click of the mouse.

4. The level of security and privacy. The protection of personal information is the "No. 1" issue in the global network. Take an interest in how messages are transmitted in the e-mail you have chosen. It is better to choose services that use the https protocol (encrypted connection) and check the content uploaded by users (documents, pictures) at the server level with antiviruses.

5. Email support for mobile devices. If you constantly need to be in touch by email with your business partners, like-minded people or your loved one, but you do not sit at a PC all day, you need to register an account on a service that will fully function on your smartphone or tablet.

6. Flexible profile settings. At first, when you first get acquainted with the drawer customization panel, do not be intimidated by the long list of options. The more of them, the better. Additional features, such as forwarding (reading messages from another mailbox), importing and backing up data, storing files, allow you to perfectly customize the service for your needs.

7. Provision of remote file storage. If you plan to send a large number of files to several recipients every day, the presence of this function in email is mandatory. It allows you to save time spent on mailing.

Overview of popular email services

Below is a list of the most secure email services with a user-friendly user interface. You can register a mailbox in them for free.

gmail

(https://www.google.com/intl/ru/mail/help/about.html)

(https://mail.ru/)

Postal service with an integrated social network "My World" and a large number of additional thematic sections (Games, News, Sports, Children, Poster, Auto, Lady, etc.). Effectively blocks spam. Allows the profile owner to create filters for sending messages from the specified address to the Inbox, Spam or Trash folder. It can send messages from the autonomous messenger "Mail.ru Agent".

https://mail.yandex.ru/

Supports the function of machine translation of letters from foreign languages. Provides full access to the mailbox from mobile devices, authentication by phone. Provides the user with the opportunity to graphically design a profile to his taste (choosing a theme, uploading images). If you don't know

https://mail.rambler.ru/

Postal service of IT-company "Rambler". Works since 2000. Blocks spam using the "RspamD" filter. Has an unlimited box capacity. Content is scanned for digital malware by the Clam AntiVirus suite of antivirus software. The Rambler mobile app is available on Android and iOS platforms.

The address

1. Regardless of how you are going to use the mail service, learn the generally accepted standard for writing an email address:

Always after the login in the email address, the symbol "@" (dog) is put. Officially, this sign is called "commercial at". The English preposition "at" in translation into Russian means "by", "in" or "on". That is, it indicates the location: - on -.

Interesting! The abbreviation with the @ sign was invented by English accountants about 200 years ago. They entered it in the financial statements instead of the preposition "at" in the semantic meaning "by": for example, 3 machines @ (by) 5000 pounds sterling.

This knowledge will help you avoid annoying misunderstandings during registration and authorization. On some postal services, you only need to enter the login, without the dog and the domain (mail.ru), on others - the full address (in the format described above), and on the third - it doesn’t matter: you can specify both the login and the full address (gmail) .

Login (mailbox name)

Just like your own name, the email title represents you in one way or another. In particular, this point must be taken into account if you indicate an email address as contact information on a business card, in your blog, in an online store, etc.

As a rule, when compiling a login, they use their first name, last name, patronymic in full or abbreviated form and add numbers (for example, date of birth, email creation, etc.). However, keep in mind that the mailbox name must be unique. If another user is using it, you will have to get creative and come up with a different version or slightly change the existing one.

Advice! If you can’t think of anything suitable, type “nickname generator” in the search engine and follow one of the first links in the issue. In special online services that automatically generate nicknames, you will surely find an original, memorable combination.

Password

Do not be lazy to compose complex character keys to enter your account. Avoid trivial combinations, such as "1234", "qwerty", etc. The best password option is a sequence of characters 10-30 characters long, consisting of lowercase and uppercase Latin letters (sometimes Russian), numbers and special characters.

However, it is not always possible to use such a password. Mail services set their own rules for compiling a key - the minimum and maximum length, character set, etc. Be sure to read them before registering.

Advice! To quickly create a long, easy-to-remember password, use the PWGEN online password generator. This algorithm creates complex, but associative (readable) combinations.

test questions

In the process of creating an account, the mail service asks the user to come up with a security question and an answer to it. It is necessary for additional verification in case of password loss. Please take these fields of the registration form very seriously. Avoid questions that are easy to predict (mother's maiden name, date of birth, best movie of the year, etc.).

Good luck in creating your email!
