Customize the look
Instead of staring at the default palette, add bright colors by enabling one of the themes. To do this, in the settings menu in the upper right corner, select the Themes section and enable any you like or upload your own.
In addition, there are three interface sizes to choose from. Normal mode leaves a lot of free space on the screen, while Compact mode is suitable for those who are used to opening many windows at the same time.
Add friends and other email accounts
If you are just starting to use Gmail or have created a second Gmail account and want to add your contacts and old mail, then go to Settings\u003e Accounts and Import. You can import your data and messages from Yandex, Mail.ru, Hotmail and others. To do this, you will need to do a few simple procedures. But remember that this will permanently turn off the Gmail alert when you receive an email.
Make Gmail Look Like Outlook
Under Settings\u003e Lab, check the Viewport box. Now the letter will be completely displayed to the right (or bottom) of the list of incoming letters, just like in Outlook. Habit is second nature, so if you've spent half your life working with corporate email in Outlook, and now decided to switch to Gmail, then this feature will help you get over the parting with the familiar interface. After enabling the Viewport once, the next time you can find this button in the drop-down menu of the settings menu on the main page.

Select important
Gmail has a smart selection of important messages. In the Settings\u003e Inbox section, check the "Track my activity in mail ..." box. Now the service will sort your emails by importance. Then you can select the "Include markers" item, the "Ignore filters" item, and at the top of the section, change the Inbox folder type to Important first. Then go to Settings\u003e General, and in the "Desktop notifications" item, select "Enable important email notifications."
Get rid of the thread of letters
All people are divided into two large groups: those who love letter chains, and those who hate them with every fiber of their soul. If you belong to the second type of people, then this function can be easily disabled. In the Settings\u003e General section, find and turn off the "Letter threads" item. The next time you open the last letter in the correspondence with the addressee, you will see a nice-looking field of the letter text, and not a list of all letters. In the Inbox folder, too, all letters will be displayed in separate clickable lines.
Archive me completely ...
Gmail has a feature to archive emails instead of deleting them. It is assumed that your mail will have enough free space to store many large emails without periodically cleaning your inbox. And since there is enough space, you can not delete the read letters for good, but send them just in case to the archive. To do this, after selecting a letter, at the top of the list of letters, you need to click on the second button on the left (square with an arrow down). And if you suddenly need an old letter, you can find it by selecting the "All mail" section in the menu on the left.
... but don't forget to clean
No matter how generous with the amount of free storage Gmail is, it's 2016, and letters are becoming more and more voluminous. So one day you will run out of storage space, and then you will have to free the archive from the most difficult messages. To do this, click the small arrow at the right end of the search line. In the pop-up window, select and check the box next to "There are attachments." In the line Size enter the value "10" and click the blue search button. The search will give you all emails with attachments over 10 megabytes. Mark those letters that you will definitely not need, and click on the "trash" icon at the top of the list of letters.
Answer and forget
After reading and sending a reply to a letter, do you really need it to remain in your inbox? Try using the Send & Archive feature so that emails are immediately removed from your inbox when you reply to them. You will find the corresponding item in the Settings\u003e General section. By checking the corresponding box, you will add a Send and Archive button to the reply window. Now, every time you reply to a letter, you can choose: leave the letter hanging out in your inbox or send it directly to the archive.
Organize your mail with labels and filters
Not enough memory - buy
If you are really tired of ramming letters in a mailbox and constantly worrying about storage memory, then you can fork out for paid space. Scroll to the bottom of the letters. In the lower left corner, under the list of letters, you will see memory usage statistics and the "Manage" button. If you are close to 100%, follow this link and see options for paying for additional memory. There are several tariff plans starting from 140 rubles per month. The extra storage will be distributed not only to mail, but also to other services like Google Drive and Google Photos, if you use them.
Take a look at the mail
If you want to view as many emails as possible at once, change the maximum page size. To do this, go to Settings\u003e General and select the third item from the top. You can set one of the suggested values \u200b\u200bin the range from 10 to 100 letters.
Colors of importance
Marking an important letter with an asterisk indicates its importance. But the importance also varies. To select a special flag for each important letter, go to Settings\u003e General and in the Stars subsection, select the All option. The next time you mark a letter with an asterisk, click the star again and select one of the different colors of stars you want, as well as exclamation marks, question marks, and other icons.
Make a task out of the letter
You can make a list of important things from your mailbox. To do this, click the More button above the list of letters and select "Add to Tasks". The letter will automatically become a task in the corresponding Google service. A link to this letter will be attached to the problem.
Follow unread
In the Settings\u003e Lab section, enable the Unread message icon item. If you have a Gmail tab open all the time, like any normal person, now, by looking at the tab icon, you can see how many unread emails you have. This is in case you need to get a little upset during a busy day.
Disconnect from the network
If you have a Chrome browser, you can try using offline mail mode. Gmail will be available to you even without an Internet connection. No, without the Internet, you cannot send or receive letters. But you can, for example, view your inbox, sort your letters, or keep writing a reply until you return to civilization. To enable offline mode, go to Settings\u003e Offline.
Give mail to the mercy
If you are completely exhausted trying to put things in order in your mailbox and have time to answer all letters, you can entrust this work to someone from your subordinates. To do this, go to Settings\u003e Accounts & Import. In the subsection "Grant access to your account" you can add another Google user and thus give him access to your mail. He will not be able to change the password and other settings, but he will be able to read, archive and reply to your emails. Such letters will be signed with your name and the name of the authorized person, which will be indicated in brackets.
Block intrusive interlocutors
Some people don't take hints. For such there is a lock button. When you receive a letter from a sender from whom you do not want to receive anything else, open the letter and click the down arrow in the upper right corner. Select “Block Sender” from the drop-down list. Now all messages from this address will go straight to the Spam folder.
Re-read old letters
If you need to quickly find a letter your friend sent you years ago, just hover over the sender's name in the list of letters or in the reading window. The contact's business card window appears. There is a button "Correspondence", clicking on which, you will see all the letters that you exchanged with this addressee.
Not there!
We all had such a situation when a letter instead of one addressee went to another by mistake. Now you can protect yourself from such a nuisance by enabling the cancellation mail function. Go to Settings\u003e General and check the "Cancel Send" box. You can also select the delay time for sending a letter from 5 to 30 seconds. The next time you send an email, you will see a "Cancel Submit" button.
Leave in english
Tired of the group conversations you were included in? You can quietly leave them. To do this, select a conversation and in the More section click the Ignore button. After that, all letters in this chain will bypass you, only if you are not the only recipient of the letter. If you want to return to the conversation, find the appropriate thread in the inbox and unblock.
Create new Gmail addresses easily
Let's say you don't want to bother with filters or you want to create an additional Gmail account for something. In this case, you can create a virtual Gmail address simply by adding + something between @ and Gmail.com. So you can create an address for you to participate in auctions or you for accounts on sales, etc. Now everything that comes to these addresses will fall into your mail.
Send letters even in your sleep
Let your clients and partners think you are a workaholic maniac who works even at night. Install the Boomerang extensions that you can use to schedule mailing in the future. The extension works in Chrome, Safari and Firefox browsers. The free version allows you to schedule up to 10 emails per month. The same extension can be used as a reminder for emails that you need to finish working with later.
Automate replies to identical emails
You may have to view and respond to dozens of the same emails every day. To avoid rewriting your answers every time, use the Answer Templates button in Settings\u003e Lab. Next time you write a boilerplate response, mark it appropriately so you can post the same response over and over.
Screenshot: Rusbase
Don't torture the mouse
Give your mouse a break - use the keyboard shortcuts. Some of them are active by default. If you want to know more about them, take a look at Settings\u003e General and enable the "Shortcuts" item. Then press the "?" on keyboard. A table of all keyboard shortcuts for working with mail will pop up on the screen.
Stop spying on other mail services
Under Settings\u003e Accounts & Import, select "Add your POP3 mail account." After that, Gmail will automatically receive emails from your other accounts. Use the "Send Email As" feature to send an email from one of your addresses.
Gmail is an email from Google. Today this free service is the most popular among ordinary users, business people and large companies. Gmail.com is characterized by a user-friendly interface and an abundance of features and capabilities. You can access Gmail mail from any device connected to the Internet. If you still use the computer version of the mail program, it's time to register your email account and evaluate its benefits.
In addition to a convenient web interface and a number of functions, Google mail does not allow spam to pass through, which captivates mailbox owners. Many users who have e-mails on other services set up mail forwarding, because they are sure that Gmail.com will not miss dubious emails. Another advantage of Google's email service is handling correspondence. This is sorting letters in all possible ways, and their marking, and import, and moving, and sending, and receiving, and quoting, and various filters and other useful, convenient options.
Google's mail service maintains a secure connection, which is very important to protect confidential information. If someone tries to access your mail from another address, you will be immediately warned about it. That is why we decided to tell in detail everything about Gmail.com - a free email service from Google Corporation.
Foreign users give the palm to Gmail mail, although quite recently it seemed that the giant Hotmail (the new name of Outlook) would not be bypassed by anyone. But domestic users prefer the mail service from Mail.ru. Maybe out of habit, because it was created much earlier. Although, recently more and more business people are switching to Gmail.com - there are more opportunities.
Registering and creating a mailbox in Gmail
So, let's start by registering with the service and creating a mailbox. Before we do that, let's take a little digression. The Gmail.ru domain does not belong to Google, and it appeared long before the "birth" of mail. It is possible that at one time they tried to get it, but the attempt failed. Now the domain of the same name RU is a service that sends e-mail from SMS, Jabber, ICQ, etc.And we will register at. This is Google's mail service.
If you do not have an account with Google, you will be prompted to create one, and at the same time register your mailbox in this service. A single account is valid for all services. Click the corresponding link button and start registration. You will be redirected to a page with web forms. It is necessary to fill in each line, while doing it carefully and deliberately. Do not forget to choose an original mailbox for yourself, although, admittedly, this is not easy at all due to the huge popularity of the mail service. But if you dream up, you will get a nice name.
Gmail allows dots in the mail name. And web resource owners can write the name of their web site.
If you purposefully plan to use your inbox on Gmail.com, seriously consider filling out the data in the form. But do not forget about the security of the confidential information you enter. The mail service from Google uses an encrypted connection and is very well protected from unauthorized entry, but resourceful attackers will always be found.
For example, if you come up with a lightweight or frequently repeated password, your mail could be hacked. And if, for example, you use this mail to withdraw money from an electronic wallet? When hacked, the attacker receives a confirmation code and easily steals your money, transferring it to his wallet or card.
Therefore, take your password seriously. Compose it on a piece of paper by mixing large, small letters of the English alphabet into a single phrase and adding various signs to them. If you do not know how to come up with complex passwords, use a special utility. It will not only generate a complex password, but also save it so that you do not forget it. The most popular of these is the free password manager. It will be easy for even an unprepared user to understand the program.
Another way to protect your mailbox from hacking is to specify a real email. Don't ignore this point. If your mail is hacked or you forget your password, an additional email account will allow you to regain access to your account. There is one more way - indicate your real mobile phone, which will also help you recover in case of password loss or hacking. However, the number you indicate must be real, because without a confirmation code you will not be able to complete the registration.
But we settled on an additional (real) mailbox. Specify its details so that if something happens, you can get a confirmation code and solve problems with losing your password and restoring access, if such a situation arises.
To continue registration, carefully fill out each field, traditionally agree to all the terms of use of the service and click submit the web form. You can upload a photo immediately, or you can make all the settings later. You will find yourself on a new page where you must enter the name of the mail and password. Now you can manage your email account: get acquainted, customize, write and receive correspondence.
Sign in and get familiar with the Gmail interface
If you already have an account, then you have mail. Log in from any search engine service. At the top right, if you are logged in, you will see your name. Click on it and select a postal service.
Or copy gmail.com into the address bar and press enter. If you are logged into your account, no passwords or names need to be entered - you will immediately find yourself on the main mail page. So what do we see in the interface? Simplicity, convenience and informativeness are the main features of Google mail. And the developers try not to change anything, probably guided by the saying: the best is the enemy of the good.
The top menu bar contains sections with "Unsorted" and advertising (offering a product or service) letters and correspondence from social networks. And if you click on "Plus", "Forum" and "Alerts" will open.
The know-how of a service from Google is chats. In this case, the user can communicate in traditional and video chat. Users have not yet appreciated all the delights of this function, since Google has not abandoned the abundance of advertising messages. An annoying pop-up advertisement, constantly out of place and at the time, does not allow normal communication.
Google's email service supports all browsers, it only displays mail in different ways. At the time of download, the capabilities of the browser are evaluated, and depending on this, the correct version is included. If you use a modern browser, you will be able to appreciate the beauty of the web interface. If you are using, for example, an old version of Opera, the mail will be loaded in HTML. And if you are not satisfied with the loading speed of interface elements, you can choose a light version of the mail service.
15 GB of free space - a lot or a little? Probably, for letters - a huge amount, but for photos and documents saved in the cloud service - not so much. But the storage capacity is easily increased, albeit for a modest fee.
Going to the post office, you will see a couple of letters. This mail service information service tells you what you get as a result of creating a mailbox, and also advertises the Google Plus social network.
Pros and cons of GMail, security settings
If you used other email services before creating your Gmail.com mailbox, continue doing so. Rather, the easiest way would be to use the convenient function of forwarding all correspondence. Collecting letters is a great opportunity not to abandon other mailboxes, but also not to go through authorization to read new correspondence. We will tell you a little later how to collect all letters in one box.Google Mail can also be used on a smartphone that supports Android. Do you know what is the beauty of using Gmail mail, and not a program installed on a computer phone? You will forget about syncing between all your devices.
At the same time, it should be admitted that the mail program is still one step ahead of the web interface in terms of capabilities. But Gmail.com is catching up with it, offering the mailbox owner more and more options. And now Jimile is an excellent alternative to non-mobile mail.
When Google first launched its email service, it caused an uproar, and here's why. When a user enters his inbox, he sees contextual ads. And each of them has something in common with the subject of the letters. For example, you ordered a jacket on a website with outerwear, and you received a letter for payment. And then you are shown ad units with jackets. It is logical that the owner of the box is outraged. But not by showing ads, but by matching them with the context of the letter. And the postal service was suspected of reading letters.
Time passed, and the scandalous passions subsided. Many felt that the invasion of space was disproportionate to the good that the postal service offered. In a word, the good outweighed the evil.
Now we will touch upon an important topic - how to work with your mail safely. All this needs to be configured, and we will deal with it. All settings are made in a separate section. Click on the gear and go to settings.
If you want to configure login by IP address, click on "Additional Information". It's at the bottom of the interface. It contains all the information about entering the mailbox.
If you have nothing to fear, and you receive regular emails, for example from friends, you may not be too concerned about data protection. But if the received correspondence is very important (passwords, confidential information, documents are transmitted in it), protect your mailbox as reliably as possible. And it can be done. Jimile provides two-step authentication. Yes, it will not be easy to work with such a mail service, but it is very reliable. Firstly, in order to enter the mail, you will have to go through authorization by entering the traditional name-password, and secondly, enter the SMS code received on the phone. Configure this authentication using "".
Do not ignore the opportunity to secure your work with the mail service, so that intruders do not become aware of confidential information.
We will cover authentication in two steps. Here's what's available to you:
Labels (folders) and their configuration in Google mail
To sort letters in the mail service Gmail.com, you need to use filters and shortcuts (folders). Filters are configured according to different criteria and allow you to automatically sort correspondence into separate folders (labels). Unlike traditional folders that exist in various mail services, shortcuts in Gmail have advanced features. Each folder can be customized to suit your needs. You can, of course, leave the default set of shortcuts to the left and not change.To delete, change these shortcuts, go to Settings by clicking on the gear. The second tab is responsible for setting the menu on the left. Activate or, conversely, remove the jackdaws from the desired shortcut, delete, move.
And using the corresponding button, you can create a new shortcut. You can do it differently. When you read a specific email, click the label and follow the instructions.
If you are confused about the interface elements, customize it so that not icons are shown, but familiar text labels.
After setting up everything falls into place, and we realized that the folder with the incoming correspondence in the Gmail is a shortcut. This mail service has an attachment option. One, main, shortcut can contain several secondary, sub-folders.
For example, it will be very convenient if you create a shortcut with advertising correspondence, and then add several folders (labels) that specify the advertising products.
In the menu on the left, you will see all your shortcuts. And to edit, change, rename, delete, use the arrow on the right. And the arrow on the left allows you to manage attachments. When you click on it, they expand and are available for editing.
If you want to edit the shortcut, click on the right arrow and bring up the context menu. After opening, you will be presented with a list of changes. Select the item you want and save the edited shortcut.
For example, the first thing you can do is change the colors of the labels. It's comfortable. You can immediately see which letter, from which label (folder) you received. But we recommend that you do not store such letters in your inbox, but immediately redirect them to the appropriate labels. Automatic redirection is a handy feature. And all you have to do is set up call forwarding according to certain criteria. And let the inbox contain correspondence that does not fall under the filters, and you yourself will distribute it when you read it.
Looking through the correspondence, you can immediately delete the label by clicking on the cross.
If you delete "Incoming" correspondence, it goes to the archive. Emails, even deleted ones, are not lost because they are saved in the "All Mail" label. If it seems to you that such an interface does not simplify, but rather complicates the work with mail, this is temporary. To labels, etc. you need to get used to and adjust everything to fit your needs.
If you do not want to filter your correspondence automatically, use the manual method. Read the letter and move to a suitable label or delete. This can be done using a dedicated menu button. This method is laborious and only suitable for those who do not receive many emails. And for the rest, there is automatic redirection or filtering by specified parameters.
Filters in Jimile and a detailed example of their use
So how do you use a great email service tool - filters? Go to the menu by clicking on the gear. A tab with filters will open if they have already been created by you. You can edit, delete, change them. If there are no filters, click the corresponding button to create them.
You will be redirected to a new window. Filters are not difficult to create, but you have to think about using logical thinking. An algorithm must be specified, according to which the service will filter all letters matching it into one folder (shortcut). If you have a mail program installed on your computer and you actively use it, you are familiar with filters.
Don't be afraid to create the wrong filter. If the system does not understand the algorithm you specified, you can change it until everything goes well. Which filters should you choose? By the name of a friend, the name of the organization, the subject of correspondence, address, term, etc.
When the algorithm is created, you will have to choose what the system should do with these letters falling under it. For example, it should automatically redirect to a shortcut called "Ads" or "Friends" or "Work". Or maybe delete or send to another address? If you need to filter correspondence from other mailboxes collected by the system, do as in the picture:
So what we see in this filter we created:
You see how simple it is. Check the created filter. If there are errors in the algorithm, fix them. If everything works as it should, you'll see how Gmail.com filters make it easy to work with mail. Most importantly, they organize your correspondence.
Import of contacts and letters into Gmail, work with old mailboxes via Google mail
So, you have registered at Gmail.com, figured it out, you liked everything and you want to continue working with the service. But you also have other mailboxes where contacts, important letters, confidential information, etc. are stored. How to move to Gmail and not lose "on the way" everything that has been accumulated over time? The transition is carried out, although not difficult, but for a long time. To transfer all letters and contacts, you will have to move for two days. And even though Google will provide you with a range of options. The only consolation is that the “move” is automatic. And all that is needed is the appropriate settings and a bit of patience.Do not be afraid to move: you will not lose anything, but, on the contrary, gain. Everything that you have used before, firstly, will be improved, plus new functionality will be added. Secondly, you will not lose your old contacts, because they will not understand that you have refused or rarely visit your old mailboxes. All correspondence that continues to flow there will be redirected to the new mailbox. Collecting correspondence works great and not a single letter gets lost. In this case, all contacts will be the same.
To configure everything that we described above, go to the " Accounts and imports". Click on the appropriate option to import mail and contacts. And click the link like the following picture:
You can import correspondence and contacts from anywhere, even from the oldest mailboxes. The entire list is available at this link, check it out. The import wizard will start from the first step. Indicate which mail service you want to collect mail from by entering your email address. Then you need to log in to this mailbox.
In the third step, you must decide on the content to import. You also choose further actions: continue to import all letters that came later, and save them in a separate folder (shortcut).
When you choose what works for you, click Import. This process, we repeat, is lengthy, so do not be afraid to miss something and do not be nervous. Go to settings to see that the process is complete.
Useful settings and Gmail lab
So, we have considered all the possibilities of Gmail.com mail, except for the chat function and a few others. You can try how the chat works for yourself. We do not think that it is so difficult to understand it. There is one more feature in Gmail - smart mode. It can be configured in such a way that all new correspondence in the Inbox will be filtered by the system as important and unimportant. There is also a Themes tab. Well, everything is clear here, and you yourself will figure out how to change the appearance of your mail. Design so that the web interface is pleasing to the eye.
So, what else is left in the "General" tab in Settings:
These are the basic settings. What we missed is not that important or is present in other mail services and does not need detailed mentions. But this does not mean that these options do not deserve attention. Study them, perhaps they will be useful and relevant to you.
So, at the final stage, let's talk about the Gmail Laboratory.
For five years, the developers have been testing the mail service, and it is for these innovations that the Laboratory was responsible and continues to do so.
First, a certain add-on appeared in it, tested, and then went into the settings and took up a permanent place. This innovation helps the company improve its postal service, introducing only those innovations that are popular and take root among users.
So, what is useful in the Laboratory, and how we can use it:
Articles and Life Hacks
Let's think about the question, how important is email to us at this point in time?
Strongly important. This is both a free, convenient way of communicating with distant loved ones, and work is a way to deliver or send contracts or scanned papers to a client / customer.
Isn't it a dream to accept and work with documents by mail from an android smartphone? In Google devices, you must register a gmail account. This is what gmail is on the phone and we'll see.
Why do I need a Gmail account
- The importance of a google account for an android smartphone is paramount. Without it, you won't be able to fully use your phone.
- Alas, this is Google's ongoing globalization. However, once you register, you will get a ton of opportunities for both work and leisure.
- By registering, you will have the opportunity to work with cloud storage and cloud documents. In addition, you get access to the Play Market.
- And these are free, paid, checked for viruses and the quality of the content of the application, and more recently films. You can leave your feedback, recommend apps to others, and upload your apps!
- It is convenient to work with cloud documents provided by Google: there are all the possibilities that standard office suites for working with offline text provide. More recently, you can work with documents on a smartphone.
- And most importantly: mail. Google is the first company to write programs and applets at this level.
Probably, most users are indifferent to this information, but believe me, such work can be considered a true breakthrough and it is very expensive.
- Working with mail from your phone, you will automatically receive sound, light and vibration notifications about new messages. In addition to the text itself, you can attach any file (unfortunately, sending open * .exe files is prohibited), arrange the letter as you like.
How to activate your Gmail account
When buying a new smartphone, he, the smartphone, will ask you to register or log into an already created account. After registration, you can use synchronized contacts from your old phone, applications, documents and, and, and ...
If you are already on google, then you just need to enter your username and password. If not, then sequentially enter the name, surname, desired username and password. All entered information remains confidential and does not fall into third hands.
Gmail.com is a free email service from Google. In many ways, Gmail is like any other email. You can send and receive emails, block spam, create an address book, and perform other basic email related tasks. At the same time, Gmail has a number of unique features that make it one of the most popular email services in the world.
In this tutorial, we will talk about some of the features and benefits of Gmail, and also look at the interface of the Gmail mail window.
Google account
Needed to have your own Gmail mail. Because Gmail is one of the services that Google provides to registered users. The account is created for free. The process is simple, and the username you enter will be part of your Gmail address.
Thus, if you go to your Gmail, it means that you are automatically logged into your Google account and you can access other Google services, for example, Google Docs, Calendar, YouTube, etc. Creating a Google account also means becoming a member of the Google+ social network. Simply put: "One account - the whole world of Google."
Of course, you don't have to use all of these Google services; for now, you can just focus on email and use it only. However, if you would like to learn more about Google Account, we recommend that you check out:, which reviews the various services offered by Google, and how to create your Google account.
Features of Gmail mail
Gmail has many useful features, ranging from standard email features (such as the ability to receive and send emails) to unique features. Below are some of the features of Gmail mail.
- Spam filtering. Spam is the name for junk mail. Gmail uses cutting edge technology to keep you safe from spam. Spam is automatically placed in a special folder and automatically deleted after 30 days.
- Incoming priorities. This is a new feature of Gmail. It is opposed to spam filtering. Instead of blocking unwanted emails, Gmail finds the most important ones and puts them at the top of the list. This is especially useful if you receive a lot of emails. Now you don't need to waste your time sorting them.
- Displaying message threads. A chain of letters takes place every time you reply to or to someone else (forward them). Often these emails are related to one topic or event. By default, Gmail groups these emails together so that there is no mess in the inbox. You can always turn off this feature.
- Built-in chat. Instead of texting someone, you can send them an instant message or use the voice or video chat feature. (If your computer has a microphone and a webcam).
- Phone call. The phone call function is similar to voice chat. The difference is that you can connect to a real phone subscriber anywhere in the world. It's free for calls within the US and Canada, and cheap enough for other countries.

Correspondence is securely encrypted. This postal service is part of a whole complex of services of Google and it is American, then American encryption algorithms are of high cryptographic strength. Those. our special services do not like Gmail very much, tk. unable to decrypt mail messages. So how to do
Login to Google mail
If you already have a Google account, then you can go to Gmail-. A window opens.

All. You made login to google mail.
But if you don't have a mailbox in this service yet, then you need to create it. Google is not only a well-known search engine, but it also provides a bunch of additional features, for example, mail, games, diaries, Google+, YouTube and much and much more. And it was done so that you need to create one account to use all this bunch of useful things.
We go by. The registration page opens.
In the upper right corner, click the hefty blue Create Account button. The registration form opens.
How to fill in "what"? We look at what they ask us and do.
- What is your name - enter your first and last name;
- Come up with a username. Here we enter what we want, but we write everything in Latin letters (in other words, in English). Choose a name that is easy to remember. And remember that simultaneously with the registration of the account, mail is registered. Those. if you chose the username Serge, then your email address will be [email protected]
- Create and confirm a password. The longer, the better, and most importantly in different case (capital and small letters). Advice: each of us has some meaningful word, i.e. a word that is close only to you. For example, the name of your beloved cat or the nickname of your best friend, etc. So you translate the keyboard layout into English and Russian letters and enter this word. Let me explain. Let's say for me a meaningful word - "liberast" (as I call my sidekick). So in the English layout it will be "Kb, thfcn". This will be easy for me to remember and difficult for all sorts of dark personalities to guess your password;
- date of birth and gender - everything is clear;
- mobile phone - we write our own - it will be required to restore the account if suddenly something happens and it will be impossible to enter it. If, for some reason, you do not want to write your real number, then read the article;
- alternate email address - we write the email address that you already have;
- default home page - whatever you want;
- prove that you are not a robot - we enter what we see;
- The country is simple;
- I accept the terms….-Put a tick;
- press the button next.
After that, you have created an account, and at the same time a mailbox.
