If you are promoting your website or offering such services to clients, you simply cannot do without your Google account. In addition, Gmail is the most advanced and secure. Let's figure out how to create a Gmail mail and Google account.
Why you need to create a Gmail account
Gmail email offers a very user-friendly interface that is not inferior to desktop ones mail clients Outlook type. Gmail mail is accessible from absolutely any device. Both through the web version and through mobile applications for Android, iPhone, etc.
In connection with recent events in Ukraine, namely the signing by Petro Poroshenko of a decree on blocking popular Russian Internet services, Ukrainian users of mail.ru and Yandex mail are asking the question: bypass the blocking or switch to a new mail service? And if you switch, which one?
Ukrainian postal workers are not distinguished by anything outstanding and are generally little known. That's why optimal solution there will be a transition to Google mail. At the same time, it is absolutely not necessary to delete mailboxes on Mail or Yandex. All you need to do is create a Gmail account, configure the collection of mail from these mailboxes in Jimail, and important letters will not be lost anywhere. Since mail Google is free(not counting corporate, but we’ll talk about that in another article), you don’t lose anything at all.
Creating a Gmail email is the same as creating a Google account. And an account in Google opens up many opportunities: you can create your own channel on YouTube or monetize a website with using Google AdSense.
The first thing to remember is the address gmail.com. Exactly.com. Do not confuse with gmail.ru. This domain has nothing to do with Google, although the search engine probably tried to sue this address. However, now.ru is not available at all.
If you are more comfortable watching a video than reading text, watch the video instructions that demonstrate the registration process. I note that this video is a little outdated, there have been changes in the Gmail interface, but in general the registration procedure remains the same.
- Unsorted— letters that are not included in other tabs go here;
- Social network— notifications from social networks, etc. get here;
- Promotions— all sorts of advertising mailings that you were careless to subscribe to are included here;
- Alerts— automatic notifications about payments, invoices, etc. come here;
- Forums— notifications from forums, mailing lists, etc. come here.
By default, only 3 are enabled. You can enable or disable the rest by clicking on the plus sign to the right of the outermost tab.
As practice shows, Gmail does not always correctly determine in which tab to place this or that correspondence. For example, “Promotions” may receive newsletters from your favorite blogs. And in the “Social Networks” tab there are notifications from Google Analytics.
You can drag emails from one tab to another. A window will open in front of you with the question “ Should I always place emails from this address in this tab?". Feel free to click " Yes«.
When you're done setting up your tabs, you can start choosing a drawer theme.
Signature
You can add a signature that will be automatically added to the end of sent emails. To do this, click on the gear icon in the upper left corner of the mail interface. In the menu that opens, select " Settings". Scroll down the page until you see " Signature«.
If you will use email to communicate with clients and colleagues, it is better to fill out the field with official data. For example, you can indicate your full name, phone number and position.
Import and collection of mail
You can transfer your contacts and existing correspondence in other mailboxes to Gmail. To do this, in the settings, go to the “ Accounts and import» and make the appropriate settings.
- Importing mail and contacts— here you can specify which mailbox to transfer contacts and correspondence from. This is done only for existing letters, that is, new letters will not be automatically transferred;
- Add mail account - Here you can specify the mailbox from which Gmail will import mail. Naturally, you must have access to this box. You can set up mail collection from several old or service mailboxes, combining all correspondence in one.
Themes
If you want to change the standard white Google mail theme, open the “ Themes" in settings. There click on " Install theme» and select the option you like.
Conclusion
As you can see, Google mail is a powerful tool. It is not for nothing that it is one of the most popular in the world, competing only with Hotmail. But in the CIS few people use this mail. Some customers even refuse to work with a contractor if his work mailbox is not on Gmail, but, for example, on MailRu. The absence of a gmail mailbox is a kind of marker of the lack of seriousness of the performer. Especially in the field of IT or marketing. But even for everyday life this mail - the best choice. Thanks to the level of security and anti-spam protection.
Gmail.com (jimeil or gmail) is the world's largest website Email. It belongs to the Google search engine and here you can create a box for free, and also get a Google account with it. And that means Disk, YouTube, Google Play, access to other services.
1 . Open the website gmail.com. Click on “Create an account” below.
2. Fill out the form on the right side.
First and last name. Here you need to provide your details, preferably real ones. After all, if you suddenly have difficulties logging into the mailbox in the future, then thanks to this information you will be able to regain access. If desired, this data can later be hidden.
Username. A very important field - this will be the name of your mailbox (login). It should consist only of English letters; you can also use numbers and dots. You just need to come up with it and print it.
This is the email address (e-mail) where letters will be sent. This is exactly what you will need to tell the person so that he can send you something.
There may be problems choosing a username. The fact is that each such login is unique - it belongs to only one person. And many names have already been registered, which means they cannot be selected.
Let's say I want to get the umnik login. I type it into the field and press the Enter button on the keyboard. The system does not allow such a name - it says it is too short.
Okay, so I add a couple more letters and press Enter. But Google doesn’t like it again: it turns out that this name has already been taken by someone.
Just below the system shows logins that are free for registration. Google automatically combined them from my first and last name, and also added something similar to what I came up with.
You can choose any of them. But I advise you to work a little more and choose something better - shorter and easier to remember. The fact is that this name will no longer be changed.
Of course, you can then register another mailbox and set up mail forwarding to it from the old address. But why such difficulties if you can immediately choose a normal name.
To simplify the task, after entering the desired login, press the Enter button and see what the system offers. It will show a different free title after each click. Maybe something will do.
If the name is free for registration, then after pressing Enter, the field for entering it will not be highlighted in red.
Many people don't realize at first how important it is to have a good address. Of course, if mail is needed not for correspondence, but for something else (registration in Google Play, for example), then any name will do. But if you plan to receive letters to it, then the address is very, very important.
Ideally, it should be simple and not too long, so that it can be dictated over the phone. Preferably without numbers and dots. And no “babies”, “beauties” and “pussies”!
It’s very funny when a serious guy’s business card says puzatik45.
Password and password confirmation. Here you need to print an alphanumeric code with which you will open your box. It can only contain letters of the English alphabet and numbers, and must be at least eight characters long. It is highly desirable that the letters be of different case (both large and small) - this will make it more difficult for hackers to hack the mailbox.
Be sure to write this password down in a safe place!
It’s been verified: it’s forgotten instantly, but you simply won’t be able to log into your email without it.
Date of birth, gender. These fields are also required. Information from them will not be used anywhere. As with the first/last name, it is better to indicate your real data. This will make it easier to regain access to the mailbox if problems arise with logging in.
Other information. Mobile phone, spare email address mail and country - this data may not be specified.
3. After filling in all required fields, click “Next”. If the system does not let you in, it means that some field is not filled in as it should. It will be highlighted in red, and just below it will be written what is wrong with it.
4 . A window will appear in which the conditions for registering with gmail.com will be written. They must be accepted, otherwise you will not receive the box.
The “I Accept” button will become available only after you have read them.
That's all! The mailbox is registered and Google is happy to provide its address. We write it down in a safe place and click on “Go to Gmail service”.
Immediately after this, your new mail will open.
E-mail address
If you carefully read what I said before, you should remember the username. I said that this is exactly your email address. But this is not entirely true: every mail on the Internet has one more part in addition to the login. In the case of Google, this is @gmail.com
It turns out that the correct name of the email account consists of the username (login) and the prefix @gmail.com. And this address must be one continuous word without spaces. There is no period at the end.
An example of a correctly written address:
This is the full name that needs to be dictated to people, written on business cards, websites and other places. If you give a person only a shortened version, he will not be able to send the letter - it simply will not arrive. But only the address must be your own, and not the one written in this picture :)
How to find out your mailbox address
As soon as you get into your new mailbox, Google greets you and briefly tells you about the capabilities of mail. We close this window - it will not appear again.
To find out your email address on Gmail, you need to click on the icon with the letter of your name at the top right. A small window will appear where it will be written.
How to log in to your email after registration
Okay, we have a box. But how to get into it after a while: a day, two, a month, a year...
It's very simple: usually an Internet program (browser) remembers the data from the mail and downloads it automatically. You only need to open Google website, and in the upper right corner click on the picture with small squares, where you select the mail icon.
Immediately after this, your mailbox should open with new and old letters. And if suddenly the Internet program forgets the data from the mail, then you will need to enter it.
Why do you need a Gmail email account?
Of course, first of all, mail is needed to send and receive emails. In addition to text, you can send documents, photos and other files.
Logging into Gmail.com email is very easy. But before you sign in, you need to have your Google account. In this lesson I will show you how to log into your mail correctly and easily, and also show you how to set up Gmail, how to add and edit contacts, edit mail settings etc.
If you still don't have google account you need to first of all start it. To do this, we recommend going to the lesson. After you create your account, come back and read the rest of this lesson to learn how to sign in to Gmail and set it up.
Update from 02/14/2016 If you can't log into your mail, then I wrote about how to solve this problem.
Gmail.com mail - login
Logging into Gmail is very easy. Immediately after creating an account, you will be automatically authorized, that is, you will log into it. However, you will always need to log in and out of your account when you are done. Signing out is especially important if you use a public computer (for example, in a library or office). This simple action will protect your letters from “prying eyes”.
Note: Article updated June 13, 2015. There are people who experience some difficulties when logging into mail. We have not found detailed and accurate information about why they are not succeeding. We also tried to enter with different computers with different operating systems - there were no problems, everything was standard. Consequently, we came to the conclusion that those who are unable to log in are doing something wrong. Perhaps you are confusing the services Gmail.ru and Gmail.com. The first one has nothing to do with Google, including Gmail.com, these are two different email services, so don’t get confused. Also keep in mind that Gmail.com is a product of Google, so there is nothing wrong with the Gmail.com page being redirected to Google page. We also noticed some small changes so we updated the article with all the images. Follow the steps below to login to Google Mail. It should work out without any problems. If not, then write in the comments, but in detail.

During the creation process, Google's email service was given the name Cariobu. It was named after the utility Buckheit created for searching for letters in his own mail. Actually, at that time this function was signature feature Gmail (now there are many more of them).
For the first two months, Paul worked on the email code on his own. And then with assistants. By 2004, the team of creators postal service Google has grown to 10 people.
