Hello! Today I would like to talk about Gmail email service(email from Google). Surely, you are already familiar with him; I personally met him relatively recently, about 4 months ago. Before that, I used Mail.ru, but after switching to Gmail, I realized that the latter is truly the best in the world. Why? I'll tell you more about this below.
What made me switch to another email service? This is beautiful, that is, now my mail looks like this: petr@site. Not bad, right? Yes, of course, this can be done in Yandex, but for some reason I settled on Gmail and I don’t regret it at all. Register for Gmail.com won’t be difficult, but I still recommend that instead of regular registration, you immediately make a beautiful email with your own domain name(I told you how to do this).
How I use Gmail email
1. I empty my inbox.
In the “Inbox” folder I only have relevant letters that require some action: reply, follow up on some actions, etc. When a certain letter becomes irrelevant, I just I'm sending it to the archives. What is an archive? These are emails that are not visible in your inbox but are searchable. Here is the “Archive” button:
Also, letters that are sent to the “Archive” are available through the “All Mail” folder. This way, my inbox is always clean. If you are sure that you will definitely never need a particular letter, then instead of “Archive” you can safely click on the “Delete” button.
2. I mark important emails.
Some letters require an urgent response or are extremely important to me. And while I’m sorting out my mail, the first thing I do is go to the “Tagged” folder:
Marking a letter is very simple: just click on the “star” in the upper right corner:
If one star is not enough for you, you can use a bunch of marks. To enable them, you need to go to Settings -> General -> Stars:
3. I use “Shortcuts”.
For example, in this moment passes and it’s very convenient for me to collect letters from each participant in a separate folder. What did I do for this?
- I opened a letter from a marathon participant and clicked on the arrow in the upper right corner:
- From the list I selected “Filter similar emails”:
- In the “From” field, I entered the email address of the marathon participant and clicked on the “Create a filter according to this request” button:
- In the “Apply shortcut” line, click on the “Select a shortcut...” button:
- Already there I clicked on the “Create shortcut” button:
- I gave the shortcut a name (in my case, I wrote the website address of this participant) and clicked on the “Create” button:
- That's all! The shortcut has been created, now all letters from [email protected] will automatically go to the pupkin.ru folder:
This way you can filter letters by mailbox, subject, etc.
Assign a specific color to each label, thereby increasing visibility significantly:
4. I mark automated emails as read.
Letters often come from exchanges such as Rotapost and others. I need them, but I don't like them to be “unread emails.” For such letters from exchanges, I also create filters, just in step 4 of the previous paragraph (see above), I check the box next to “Mark as read” (I do not create labels for these letters):
6. I actively use search.
Do you need to collect all correspondence with a specific recipient? No problem! This is very easy to do in Gmail. Just enter the mailbox address of the person you need and voila! , all the letters from him are before your eyes:
It really helps when the person you are corresponding with does not use the message history in their email. Then they wonder why I don’t answer their letters? And sometimes I don’t even remember what I talked about with this person. Honestly, the search is very useful. I'm also looking for all sorts of keywords and I actually find the letters I need.
Also, what’s great about Gmail is that all emails that are replies are collected in email chains(saving space in the list of letters and making it easier to track history).
7. It is very convenient to use Gmail email through your mobile phone.
You can easily find an application for almost any phone here http://gmail.com/app. Or you can use the browser version of the Gmail website, which is still very convenient (mail is “narrowed” to fit the screen size). There are also a lot of applications produced by third-party developers. For example, on my beloved iPhone I use the Sparrow app, which is really very convenient. On the iPad, I use mail in the browser, everything works great.

Today, almost every Internet user knows what Gmail is. This email service, which is very popular among Western users, is one of the many services provided by the company. Even among supporters of domestic postal systems like Mail.ru or Yandex.ru Google mail is confidently gaining points.
This is largely due to the convenience and thoughtfulness of the service - a simple and intuitive interface, high level security. For users who use email for business correspondence, confidentiality is the decisive factor when choosing an email service.
A little about the service itself
GMail email is one of the many services offered by Google that can be used from a single account. This means that by registering with Gmail Com, the user also gains access to other company products. The most popular among them: YouTube, social network Google+, Play Market(necessary for installing the application on smartphones running Android OS), access to cloud storage data (10 GB free) and much more.
Registering an email on Gmail Com does not impose an obligation to use only this new email account - you can safely continue to use your old accounts in email services registered long before the advent of Gmail. In addition, it is possible to collect letters in one Gmail account Com - which is incredibly convenient to open letters from different accounts from one box.
An easy and fast web mail interface allows you not to bother with desktop email programs, which eliminates the need to synchronize the contents of your mailbox between various devices. In general, the interface of the box is universal - simple in its appearance, it has such wide functionality that people can envy large applications, offered for quite a lot of money.
This is the main advantage of the service - you can create a mailbox on Gmail com completely free of charge, and no one will take money from you for using it either.
Separately, we can highlight the ability to synchronize data between different devices. With Google mail, there will be no problems with saving personal contacts or reminders when changing your smartphone - you just need to enter your credentials and all personal information is synchronized automatically.
The capacity of the mailbox is as much as 15 Gb, and therefore, even with fairly intensive use, you can not worry about deleting unnecessary letters for several years.

On home page mail service, you must click on the “create a Gmail account” button, after which you will proceed to the registration process. The high popularity of the service practically negates all possibilities of obtaining a “beautiful” email address. So when registering, you will have to use the “take what’s left” principle.
It should be remembered that the reliability of the information provided to the service determines the possibility of restoring access in the event of a password loss or account theft. However, it is worth considering that, in the event of theft, all confidential data may fall into the hands of attackers, and therefore it is recommended to indicate only the required minimum, the composition of which will be presented below.
To register a new mailbox on Gmail.com, you will need the following user information:
- Owner's name account. Of course, no one will ask for your passport data, but in this column it would be wiser to indicate real information. Firstly, this will increase the convenience of correspondence (primarily for your interlocutor), and secondly, if access is restored, fictitious data may cause some problems.
- Login to enter your account. It will be used not only for mail access. You can use it to access other Google services. In the process of filling of this field you will have to show a little imagination, since simple and beautiful names, as mentioned earlier, have been busy for a long time.
- User password. It will also be used for everyone else Google services. It is recommended to create a strong password. Simple numerical combinations or sequences of letters created by pressing characters in order on the keyboard should not even be considered - attackers check them first. You should use alternating numbers and letters (both lowercase and uppercase), or enable two-step authorization (in this case, each time a one-time password will be sent to you mobile phone in SMS). Users often link their email address to various payment systems. It is worth remembering that if you use an insufficiently strong password, attackers can gain access to electronic accounts and all payment information. Responsibility in this case lies entirely with the user.
- Repeat password. This is necessary to eliminate errors when entering a password, which occurs quite often and is one of the reasons for losing access to your account.
- Personal information (gender and date of birth). This column is optional and is filled in at the user's discretion.
- Cell phone number. You can add it immediately or specify it after registration in the “Security Settings” section. You should only provide your real phone number, as it will be used both when restoring access and when choosing two-factor authentication.
- Alternative e-mail address. It is used to restore access to your account. Also filled out if desired. Specifying an invalid address will make it impossible to recover your password using this method.
- Bot check. You should enter the characters from the picture, thereby proving that the box is created by a living person and not a robot. Captchas can be quite confusing, and therefore not everyone enters the correct characters the first time - there is nothing wrong with that.
- Country of Residence. To be filled in at the user's discretion. Country data will be used in the social account Google network+ and in the process of password recovery.
Don't forget to check the box confirming your agreement with the license provisions and terms of use of the service. Without confirming the terms of the user agreement, using the service is impossible.
After filling in all the required fields, you must click on the “Next” button, which will complete the registration. At the next stage, you can upload a personal photo, but this, again, is optional.
A letter with a confirmation code will be sent to your phone and additional email address, which must be entered in the appropriate field.

Conclusion
Creating an email on the Gmail service is not difficult at all. Together with a mail account, the user gets access to a large number of different services used for both entertainment and work. The minimalistic interface will not burden you much in terms of traffic volumes, and therefore this service is perfect for use on mobile devices.
Google is the largest search engine, processing over 40 billion queries monthly. The main difference between the most easy-to-use and accessible system is the presence of numerous interconnected and constantly developing services.
One of the most popular is gmail.com mail - logging into Google mail opens up the widest possibilities for its functionality. It is not surprising that today Google mail has overtaken many of the most famous email services in the world in popularity.
Why gmail?
It would seem, how can a search engine’s mailbox differ from stationary services? But the capabilities of gmail.com can surprise many “advanced” users. In addition to the usual functions of collecting correspondence, the ability to tag it and distribute it into thematic folders, gmail mail offers a lot of other “useful things”:
- An excellent filtering system allows you to sort letters according to dozens of criteria automatically.
- Import contact list from other mailboxes.
- Thanks to reliable protection from Google mail spam, many people prefer to collect correspondence from other services in this mailbox.
- Mail can be accessed from any device connected to the Internet.
- Unlimited use of all search engine products without separate registration.
- Providing 15 GB of free storage for photos, letters, documents, etc.
- The ability to create corporate addresses, receive 24/7 support, and organize free video conferences.
- It is possible to use a secure protocol and receive a warning from gmail mail, which is logged in from an unfamiliar IP address.
How can you gain access to all these delights and properly configure your mailbox?
Creating a Gmail box is a piece of cake
Registration in the service is trivial, but has some nuances. Firstly, you should not confuse it with gmail ru, which has nothing to do with Google. In general, receiving a gmail com email address is a bonus for users who create an account in the system. If there is none, just go to the mail page gmail service.com mail - logging into Google mail will be accompanied by a proposal to correct this “flaw”:
- After clicking “Create an account” you will see a web form where you need to carefully fill out the fields.
- First, enter identification data: first and last name, information about gender and date of birth, telephone number, alternative mail address, country. The main catch is at this stage- come up with a login, because this is what your future mailbox will be called, and a strong password. Google mail is very popular, so you will have to use your maximum imagination to come up with a simple, empty name. The same applies to the password. Although gmail mail is highly protected, a simple combination may not protect your mailbox from hacking.
- Now you can attach your photo and select the interface language.
It is recommended to enter real information. The telephone number and address of an additional mailbox will help you easily restore access in the future if you lose your password or your email is hacked. Upon completion of registration, a letter with a code for the solution will be sent to an alternative mailbox possible problems with entrance.

You can get acquainted with the main features that gmail com mail offers, such as transferring a list of contacts and correspondence from third-party mailboxes or about the search engine’s social network, in the letters sent to your address immediately after registration.
Google mail sorting settings
To conveniently and quickly sort letters, gmail mail offers effective tools:
- Labels. They are functionally similar to the familiar folders, but differ in broader capabilities. Initially you will see minimum set, located on the left side of the page, which is expandable and customizable for your purposes.
- To get started, go to the “Settings” tab, located in the drop-down menu in the form of a gear. In the “Shortcuts” section, by changing the “yes/no” activation, you can hide, activate or delete the necessary menu items. And by clicking the button at the bottom of the window or directly from the letter, you can easily create a new shortcut folder.
- If you don't like the specific icons in gmail com mail, change them to regular text inscriptions in general settings button labels.
- Mail innovation - organization of nesting of shortcuts without installing add-ons. To configure a shortcut, just click on the arrow located to the right of it. In this case, you will be asked to select a color and configure the label according to several criteria.
- If you delete one of the shortcuts, for example, "Inbox", the contents of the folder are not destroyed, but are moved to "Archive" and remain available also in the "All Mail" folder.
No one, of course, has canceled the manual “scattering” of letters into folders while reading them using the usual “Move” button. Functions google mail allow you to avoid this routine and significantly simplify your work.
- Filters. This tool is indispensable when you need to automate the process of sorting correspondence. To use Google's miracle mail filters, you also need to enter the settings menu under the gear icon.
- The window that opens shows the existing filters and a link that will allow you to create an ideal, logically organized mail.
- You can filter letters, for example, by subject, by addressee (both recipients and senders of your own and attached mailbox), by certain terms, etc.
- Next, specify what to do with the filtered correspondence: send to one of the folders, archive, mark, apply a label or forward, delete, etc.
If you have already used a similar service, there should be no problems with creating a convenient sorting algorithm.
Gmail.com mailbox security
The indisputable advantage of the service is the ability to track suspicious attempts access to the mailbox, as well as setting up notifications in such cases. This can be done using the link " Additional Information" in the "Settings" section.
- If the correspondence you exchange or store is extremely important, it is worth sacrificing convenience and properly setting up the security of your mailbox. In the "Security and Login" section, it is recommended to create two-step authentication. When logging in, you will not only need to enter a password, but confirm access with a code sent to your phone.
- Carefully check your tab settings for unnecessary links in email signatures that are included in the autoresponder without your knowledge.
- Make sure there are no unknown names in the account access section and no unauthorized addresses in the email sending settings.
- Check POP and MAP settings, filters, etc.
Of course, this is not all the capabilities of the gmail email service. More detailed information You can always find information about the huge functionality, settings of various tools and security on the system website and in the extensive help section.
