What is E-mail and why is it called e-mail. My mail Email login

Creating an account on the site is a short process. To register, you only need to enter your data (Name, surname, phone number, password). After that, a new page will appear in the system, which the user can actively use to communicate with other people, view news, letters, announcements, and much more.

You can edit your personal profile, add photos, friends, create various communities and share your impressions. If desired, the user's page can be deleted or blocked.

If the session of using the resource suddenly stopped and the site asks for a password to enter, then it must be specified for further use of the portal. It is important to save the specified password (write it down somewhere on a piece of paper or remember it) so as not to create a new page or restore it via the phone. By the way, Mail.Ru is also available on mobile devices. It can be downloaded from Google Play or the App Store

Entrance to the mail is carried out in a special panel located under the logo:

1. Enter your login in the first field. If necessary, change the domain name in the drop-down menu: c @mail.ru, for example, @bk.ru (if you registered a mailbox with that name).

2. Type the password in the bottom field.

Hello friends! Pavel Yamb is in touch. Tell me, do you communicate in these social networks? How do you exchange messages? Do you have email? If not, and you came to the Internet for a long time and seriously decided, then it is impossible to do without an email address. So what is email and how do you create one?

Mail is needed to send messages over long distances quickly :). In the modern world, it is impossible to live without the exchange of information. Before the advent of the Internet, the transmission of letters was carried out by regular mail, and even earlier by pigeons. But time passes, and modern technologies have improved the process: letters are delivered to the other side of the planet in a matter of seconds. Of course, this became possible with the advent of the Internet and, in fact, e-mail.

It's funny, but no one was going to create e-mail on purpose. Everything worked out by itself. American programmer Ray Thompson developed a program for sending short electronic messages. Each sender was required to have their own address. So in 1965, convenient Internet mail was born.

No need to write a message by hand, put it in an envelope, stick a stamp, carry it to the post office and wait until the letter reaches the addressee, and then wait for an answer - and I found these times. E-mail is a modern type of communication for transmitting text files, graphic and video messages over distances.

Almost all Internet users have mailboxes. Virtual mail has its own name - e-mail. E-mail - the same mail, only in a modern format.

What is its convenience:

  • Letters reach recipients in just a few seconds
  • You can send pictures, messages, and video files by e-mail.

How to start an e-mail

It is impossible to register on any forum and any social network without an e-mail. Therefore, we create our own email box on any of the free mail services. The differences between them are small, and registration is carried out according to a single principle, in a few minutes. Choose the one you like or like (no one forbids starting several addresses) and start:

  • http://www.mail.ru/ - ;
  • http://www.yandex.ru/ - ;
  • http://www.gmail.com/ - ;
  • http://www.rambler.ru/;
  • http://www.km.ru/;
  • http://www.rbk.ru/;
  • http://www.yahoo.com/.

The list goes on, it's just that these services are the most popular. After completing the registration, you get access to additional features of the service: you can create a personal page on the network, an electronic wallet, get your own ISQ number, create your blog, finally. Each service has its own list of useful options.

registration

So let's start with an account. On the main page of the mail service, click on the link "Registration". Next, select "Create a mailbox" or "Start mail" - the text depends on the service. On the page that opens, fill out the registration form. In case of difficulty, the system will tell you what to do next.


When registering, provide genuine personal data: last name, first name and patronymic, date of birth and phone number. So you can easily restore your account in case of password loss or to search for friends on the network. Don't be afraid to expose yourself online. Everything about you is already known to the Internet :)

The e-mail must be correct, that is, written correctly. The length of the name is up to 64 characters. When registering, however, it is safer not to use dots and symbols, because some services take them for errors and display a message about an incorrect address.

Do not want strangers to view your data? Settings allow you to hide them after registration is complete. The help system of the service will help you get a hint on how to do this.

In addition, reliable data is required to use an electronic wallet. Under the name Crocodile Gena, it is unlikely that identification will be successful, and the result is problems with money transfers.

Login

The basis of registration is the choice of a mailbox name. The main requirement is uniqueness. The address consists of:

  • the name of the mailer site on which you create mail;
  • username, i.e. you creating your address.

The "at" or "dog" sign separates both parts. The address looks like example.ru is the site name, and pavel is the username. We take the choice of login seriously: if you don’t like it, you won’t be able to change your name, and you will have to register a new mailbox.

By the way, the "dog" was created by the same Ray Thompson. The icon was used by him to separate the name of the mailbox and the location of the recipient in the domain. Thompson taught the program to distinguish between these details on the machine. And the choice of the icon did not take much time: the programmers had already used the “dog”. A few years later, the badge became extremely popular.

Mandatory fields are marked with an asterisk or an *. Data entered? And now - the most interesting and difficult, the choice of the name of the mailbox. Such work takes a lot of time. Popular names are already taken, and it takes some work to come up with a unique name.

In many mail services, account registration is allowed on several domains, indicated after the "dog" in the address. If the selected name is occupied in the main domain, then it can be free on the additional one. You can check the list in the registration form.

Alternatively, your mobile phone number. This name is definitely free. Or the name of your company. But here there may be problems with the transmission of the address over the phone: the spelling and sound may differ.

Password

After choosing a login, we will select a strong password and a security question to restrict access to your address. We set the answer with the expectation that only you can answer. So access to the account for outsiders will be closed. Too obvious data, for example, the nickname of a pet, known to all friends, or the name of the street where you live, especially since it is better not to take the date of birth or name.

If nothing original comes to mind, you can intentionally make a few mistakes. Use illogical combinations of uppercase and lowercase letters, special characters: instead of "a" - "@". Replace "o" with "0". Now it will be very difficult for unwanted guests to pick up the "key" to your mailbox.

If you have corporate mail at work, the position allows you to create an e-mail for free, then why not take advantage of this opportunity? Contact your organization's "computer affairs" administrator to learn how to create your own mailbox. Just do not forget that after dismissal you will lose access to this box. And during work, your correspondence will be available not only to you, but also to the same administrator.

Paid or free email

You can also register your own unique domain, for example vasya @ masin.net. An example of such a registration service is http://www.general-domain.ru/. But registration of a personal domain is paid. True, the fee is small, and when running your own business, such an address is an additional solidity.

To solve problems with the main address, we create an additional one. When registering, we indicate an additional address. The password from the main one is sent to it if it is lost.

The difference between free and paid services is in the level of account security, the volume of mailboxes, size limits, and ways to combat spam. One of the best in the world is the Gmail service created by Google. If you still do not have this mail, then here's how to start and set it up.

To make life easier for the user, enough client programs have been created. Almost their sole purpose is to make the use of e-mail more convenient. Useful tools for copying, storing data, and sorting e-mail are provided. These programs are free and paid.

One of the most famous paid ones is “The Bat!”.
The free alternative is Thunderbird, a great service from Mozilla that is just as good as the paid service.
An email client is included with any operating system. So, for Windows it is Microsoft Outlook.

How to find out your email address

In order not to lose your own mailing address, you can first write it down and save it. And you can see the address during registration or see it on the main page of your mailbox. Often it is displayed at the top of the service page as "e-mail" or "My page". All incoming and outgoing emails are displayed here. But in any case, you should not rely only on your own memory: it is always better to keep the address written down in a file or on paper at hand.

Offers of interest to the owner of the box come to the e-mail. Only sometimes you did not subscribe to the mailing list, but you receive ten absolutely unnecessary letters. This is spam, a problem known to all e-mail owners.

Congratulations, you have received... spam

Offers for the purchase of goods, for the provision of charitable assistance - that just is not sent out! But after transferring the specified amount to the account, it is fashionable to forget about the money: they will get to the scammers who most often engage in such mailings. And everything else now they have access to your wallet.

It is also better not to open letters with offers to download useful programs or interesting files: they may contain viruses. Harmful emails usually have flashy headlines like “Congratulations,” “You win,” “Here’s what you need most,” or “Prize.”
Making personal information available to scammers or breaking your computer are tasks spam viruses can handle.

And even more so, you don’t need to send out such letters yourself with appeals: “Send this message to three (five, six, and so on) friends, and you will be happy.” We send such "lures" to a folder labeled "Spam". They have the right place. There is no need to be allowed to become an assistant, albeit unwittingly, to scammers.

E-mail is a great opportunity to erase boundaries and reduce distances. It is impossible to do without email while working on the Internet. I think you agree with me.

What mail do you use? Pavel Yamb was with you. See you!

Have you seen this talent?

For people who are just starting to explore the Internet and all its possibilities, this is not easy at first. Sooner or later, a new Internet user sets out to create his own mail to receive emails and learn how to enter it to check incoming messages. And it is quite difficult for beginners to do this. Everyone can learn how to access their mail, you just need to carefully do it for the first time and soon you will do it automatically.

How to login to your email

  1. So, in order to open your mail, you need to take a few steps. First you need to open your browser and go to the mail page. If you checked the box “Remember me” when registering your mail and entering your data for the first time, then in the window that appears, all the fields will be filled in and all you have to do is click on the “Login” button.
  2. Also, you can open your mail from the main page of the Yandex search engine. To do this, click on the mail button in the upper right corner. In the window that appears, you will see two columns that need to be filled in: login and password. If they are empty, then you need to enter your data there and click the "Login" button. If they are already filled out, this means that you previously left your consent for your browser to remember your data, in which case you do not need to enter anything and just click on the "Login" button. Be sure to remember your data from your mail (login and password), or even better, write them down in a notebook.
  3. If you use the Mozila Firefox browser, and by opening the mail accidentally opened another site or request in the same tab, you can easily return back to your mail. To do this, at the top of the screen, on the right, you need to left-click on the icon with the name of your mailbox, and you will again find yourself on your mail page.
  4. In order to go to another mail, for example, Mail.ru, you must perform the same steps that were described above. Namely: you need to write Mail.ru in the search engine and fill in your data (login and password) in the window that appears and click on the “Login” icon.
  5. You can also easily access Yahoo mail. To do this, open this resource and in the window that appears, you must enter your username and password. In the Yahoo! ID" enter the name of your mail in the format "[email protected]", in the "Password" field enter your password, then click on the "Sign in" icon. In order not to enter all your data next time and just click on the “Sign in” icon, you must check the “Keep me signed in” field.

Hello, dear readers of the blog site. Today I want to continue the conversation about the most popular services, and we are next in line - Mail.ru mail. I can’t say that he is a generator of promising ideas and innovations in ensuring the convenience of working with correspondence, but he is the leader in this market in Runet and this alone deserves respect.

In addition, over the past year and a half, the Mail.ru email development team has expanded significantly and they have managed to implement almost everything useful from the competitors' tools.

We also added a convenient view of photos and office documents attached to letters directly in the web interface, mobile versions and applications, language support, a mail collector, a new interface, virus protection and much more.

Although they do not yet have such a high level (two-step authorization using a cell number and trusted computers), they still do not have a similar service, but most users of Mail.ru Mail all this is either not needed, or they never bothered with it at all. Therefore, I offer you an excursion into the possibilities and nuances of this free service, and you will decide whether to use it or not.

The history of creation and the current position of Mail.ru mail

She has been leading her story since the distant 1998 (not much later than that moment,). True, then the project was called Port.ru and assumed the development of a free mail service engine for its subsequent sale abroad (at that time, far from everyone knew us,). However, due to a combination of circumstances, this project was tested in RuNet on the Mail.ru domain and in the very first months of its existence showed phenomenal results in the growth of the number of users.

As you can see from the screenshot, it was then proposed to use Yandex to search the Internet on the Port.ru portal. Later, after moving to a new domain, the owners began to offer their users , while simultaneously developing their own , to which they plan to completely switch in the near future (or have already switched).

Actually, to be surprised at the monstrous popularity of mailboxes from mail.ru it’s not worth it, because at that time Gmail and YaPochta did not exist at all, but there were only bourgeois projects (and), which at that time did not indulge the user with support for the Russian language. The new product with a Russian-language interface was liked and the number of registered mailboxes began to grow exponentially.

My first account was also registered on Mail, because at that time a similar service from Yandex had just appeared (2000) and had not yet gained due popularity, and before the advent of Gmail, I had to wait a few more years. There were no special problems with his work (still not hacked), and after some time, having sat down firmly on the brainchild of Google, I simply set up forwarding from my first mailbox to a new one in Gmail. Until recently, I didn’t even go into the Mail.ru mail interface.

I, as a person who is keenly interested in everything new and promising, quickly moved to Gmail when I was still in its beta testing stage (registration was possible only by invitation). However, the majority of users of this system have remained faithful to it (it works fine) and this is a general trend in the development of this market. Beginners have to rely mainly on the influx of new users, and not on poaching the audience from competitors.

That's why Mail.ru mail service until almost 2011 did not develop much, resting on the laurels of popularity received in the past years, when competition was very weak. However, the gap between their capabilities and those of their competitors widened, and they even began to think about moving.

The owners became worried and decided to invest in the development of the service in order to keep up with the competitors completely hopelessly. The development team was tripled, and in a year and a half everything that I briefly listed at the beginning of the article was issued to the mountain. As a result, the situation has now stabilized and shares of postal giants in Runet stuck in positions like this:

  1. Email Mail.ru - 25 million users
  2. The brainchild of Yandex - 16 million
  3. Still alive - 4 lyama
  4. Gmail - about the same

In the world ranking, the mail service from Mail, although it occupies a modest fifth position, is still an impressive result, especially considering that more than two-thirds of the audience of this giant is concentrated in Russia:

At the moment, about 400 million mailboxes are registered on Mail.ru, 100 of which can be called active (they log in and check their correspondence at least once every three months). And out of this hundred, a whole fifth is accounts whose owners remove mail every day. Monstrous volumes - about three to four thousand letters pass through their data centers in just one second.

On this excursion into the history and reasons stimulating the development of Mail.ru e-mail can be considered complete. It's time to go directly to the description of registration, login, settings and opportunities that this mailbox provides to its users.

Registering a mailbox in Mail.ru (creating an account)

So, let's start by tradition with the registration of the box and the entrance to it. Everything is simple and hassle-free. Go to the registration page and enter your first name and last name, as well as the desired E-mail address, or rather its beginning, in the proposed form fields, because there will be only four endings (@mail.ru, @list.ru, @bk.ru or @inbox.ru):

Please note that in this way you not only create an E-mail in mail.ru, but also get access to all other services of this mega-portal (actually, a universal account).

It would seem that there is nothing difficult here. However, many thousands of mailboxes are hacked precisely because of setting simple passwords that are easy to remember, but at the same time easy to pick up (brute force, for example). There is an erroneous opinion that since you have nothing to steal, then no one will break it.

They will, because there are a number of reasons why mailbox hacking is still relevant and is in demand:

  1. Absolutely any box is valuable for a hacker, because then, together with a bunch of others, it can be sold to spammers who need them to send messages in millions of copies. If you want to help spammers and get your account blocked in Mail.ru, set the password to QWERTY or 123456 mail. Hacking in this and two subsequent cases is carried out automatically by using the database of the most popular combinations or dictionaries.
  2. In a hacked box, you can inadvertently (automatically) find the data of your accounts on social networks, monetary systems, data for accessing websites and other things that are necessary in the life of a hacker, which can then be sold wholesale or retail (or monetize yourself).

    Even if passwords for these useful things are not found, then it will always be possible to request their recovery, and accounts in most cases will be tied again to this very hacked Email.

  3. You may be blackmailed to return the box or the 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.
  4. Well, and the rarest case - you will be broken 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.

I hope these arguments have convinced you of the need creating a complex password when registering with Mail.ru. Another thing is that it is not so easy to come up with, let alone remember.

This is where help comes in. A cool program that will generate a complex combination for you and remember it. The main thing is not to forget the password from Kipas himself, and he will already store all the rest (it’s not superfluous to make a backup of the encrypted database with passwords in several places for greater reliability - I personally store it in).

I also strongly advise you not to be shy enter your cell number when registering in Mail.ru-mail, because this will make recovering a lost password a trifle (otherwise, you will have to fill out the appropriate form for a long and tedious time or write to support - [email protected]), and withdrawal of your account is almost impossible.

If there are good arguments not to do this, then you will have to click on the link “I don’t have a mobile phone” and, in the old fashioned way, come up with a security question and an answer to it, which, by the way, are easily broken if an attacker starts digging into your social networks or other places, where you could leave information about yourself.

Again, social engineering (or a simple divorce) should not be discounted when by E-mail or in the same social networks you can unobtrusively ask in an innocent form for the answer to your secret question or slip a fake letter supposedly from the mail service with a link to a fake site that will be similar to the Mail.ru mail login form as two drops of water, with the exception of the URL in the address bar of the browser.

From this follows the conclusion - you need to go to the site of the mail service only by clicking on a link from your browser bookmarks or search results.

If you indicated your mobile number in the second step of registration, then after clicking the "Register" button, you will receive an SMS with a confirmation code on your mobile phone, which you will need to enter in the window that opens:

After that, you will be taken to the page of your newly created mailbox and there you will find several messages from the development team. Actually, that's all. It remains only to deal with today's capabilities of [email protected] and see what can be configured there so that reading and writing letters, opening attachment files and doing other things would be easier and more convenient.

Login to Mail.ru-mail - folders, inboxes, filters and ...

As I have mentioned more than once, this service has existed for a very long time and many users have accumulated several mailboxes that were created at different times and for different purposes. You can, of course, assign forwarding or collection of letters to one from all the others (we'll talk about this a little later), so that you don't log in and out of your account every time.

However, not so long ago, the mountain itself approached Magomed, namely, possibility of multiple entry to your Mail.ru accounts. Let's say you first log in to one of your accounts as usual:

Then you can already click on the name of your E-mail in the upper right corner of the window and click on "Add mailbox" to carry out entrance to another mailbox:

After successfully logging into your second account, you can now quickly switch between them by simply clicking on your Email (at the top right of the window) and selecting the desired option (or entering another mailbox on Mail.ru):

It turned out to be quite convenient, although it may not be useful to everyone. But now let's talk, in fact, about the atmosphere itself and.

Their new interface turned out to be quite concise and not at all overloaded. The left column displays a list of your folders (initially there will be only five - Inbox, Sent, Drafts, Spam and Trash, but you will be free to do as many as you like) and a couple of pretty handy filters that allow you to show only unread or only marked messages:

It seemed inconvenient to me that the "Settings" button is hidden in the "More" drop-down list and cannot be found right away (although it is duplicated in the upper right corner of the window). When viewing the list of letters in the Inbox (or any other folder), you will see it in front of the sender's name avatar, or the first letter stylized as it from his name.

You don't like it? No problem - from the "View" drop-down list, select the "Compact" option and the extra graphics will disappear.

Letters from the list in Mail.ru can be moved between folders using the "Move" button at the bottom and top of the window, or by dragging and dropping with the left button pressed. If you need to move several messages, then just select them with checkmarks. They are first deleted in the Recycle Bin, which can be cleared when you log out of your account, depending on the settings you have made. By the way, there is an option, if necessary, along with all its contents.

It is possible to use Hotkeys. For example, the keyboard shortcut Ctrl and the left or right arrow will allow you to jump between previous and next letters while viewing them, and the Delete key will send the message you are viewing to the Trash.

All modern mail services use a spam cutter, and almost everywhere it does not work perfectly - it either skips spam or classifies it as quite decent letters. The second option is, of course, much more dangerous. In Mail.ru, the spam cutter works quite tolerably, but in addition to it, there is the possibility of manual filtering.

Mark spam messages with checkboxes in the Inbox or any other folder (except for the Spam folder) and click on one of the "This is spam" button located at the top or bottom:

It is clear that from time to time you still have to look through the Spam folder for lost letters, and whenever you find them there, do not be too lazy to tick each of them and use the “Not Spam” button. The spam cutter will learn in this way and make fewer mistakes when filtering correspondence.

I liked how Mail.ru's new electronic interface organizes marking of letters. Many people use the unread filter, both on stationary mail programs and in the web interface. But it’s not always possible to quickly make a message read or unread.

Here it was implemented extremely simply - move the mouse cursor to the letter and you will see an outline of an orange circle in front of it, clicking on which you mark the message as unread(it will be highlighted in bold in the list and preceded by an orange circle):

Second fast a way to mark letters in Mail.ru mail organized with checkboxes. All unread and flagged messages can be viewed using the corresponding filters located in the left column. Simple, but tasteful.

As I mentioned, you are free to add as many new folders to your electronic interface as your heart desires. To do this, it will be enough to click on the link "Set up folders" in the left column under the list of existing ones. As a result, a settings window will open, where you will need to click on the button located at the top "Add Folder":

In the window that opens, you can give the folder a name, define its hierarchy (at the top level or nested in some other of the existing ones), prohibit the removal of mail from it by stationary programs, and even put a password on it, which may not be superfluous to increase security or when several people work with one account (for example, corporate).

Tepericha about filters in the box from Mail.ru- where without them. Actually, they don’t offer us anything beyond outstanding (whether it’s the Gmail case), but on the other hand, the whole thing is extremely clear at the first meeting.

Find "Settings" in the upper right corner of the window and go to the "Filters and Forwarding" section. There will be only one “Add Filter” button, but from its context menu it will be possible to bring to light the “Create Forward” option. However, while we are talking about filters, so just click on the button.

As a result, the filter creation wizard will open, which is quite simple and logical. First you need create conditions, upon fulfillment or non-fulfillment of which (the words “contains” or “does not contain” before the fields with conditions), you will need to take some action. Conditions can be applied to such attributes of letters as the sender (the “from” field), the recipient, the subject of the message, its size, etc.

When writing conditions in Mail.ru mail, you can use the asterisk symbol “*” to replace any number of characters with it, as well as the vertical stick sign “|”, which replaces the logical operator “or”, allowing you to combine several possible options.

There can be as many conditions as you want, and the action will be performed either on the fulfillment of at least one of them (the option at the bottom of the screenshot “if one of the conditions is met”), or on the fulfillment of all conditions (the option is “if all conditions are met”).

Next, we should explain to the electronic interface, what action should be taken when “bingo” appears according to the conditions specified a little above. The most common option is probably to move a letter that meets the conditions to some folder created specifically for this:

You may want to flag or even delete this email. In addition, you will have the opportunity to forward this correspondence to another e-mail box (in fact, this will be a forwarding option that is not always implemented, but only by condition), as well as reply to it with a pre-prepared "stamp" or apply some other some filter (create a cascade).

Probably, it would be correct to include the contents of the Spam folder in the run through the filters, because messages that are not spam at all can randomly get there too. On the other hand, you can limit the filtering area to a separate folder, which can be selected from the drop-down list. Well, then click on the "Save" button and enjoy the work of the created algorithm.

It will appear in the "Filters and Forwarding" settings section, where you can quickly turn it on or off as needed. There you can set up and forward letters from the mailbox to Mail.ru to your other E-mail in popular mail services. To do this, just select the option "Create forwarding":

In the window that opens, specify the Email address where you want to send all correspondence from this mailbox, and click on "Save". After that, a new line will appear on your page with filters and forwards, but it will be highlighted in red, meaning that all this economy is not involved until you click on the "Confirm" link and enter the code that came to the forwarding E-mail :

When you confirm everything, your correspondence will be sent directly, immediately after arriving to your mailbox in Mail.ru, to the address specified in the forwarding settings.

Other Mail Settings and Features

Although it is not the most sophisticated of all existing ones, some of its features are worth paying attention to. Let me try to arrange it in the form of a list with a common name - what else is good about email from Mail.ru:

  1. Developers take pride in what they provide oversized mailbox, which initially has dimensions of 10 GB. When it is filled, you will be given another two gigabytes of living space each time.
  2. They also talk about the unlimited size of attachments, but here they are definitely cunning, because only files less than 25 MB will be transferred and stored on mail servers, and if this limit is exceeded, attachments will already be stored on the servers of the [email protected] service. This means that in a month they will be deleted, and the size of one attached object still cannot be more than 1 GB.
    1. But there is good news for attachments to letters(sent and received in Mail.ru boxes):

      When you receive a message with attachments, you can directly in the list, click on the paperclip and see their full list with size (weight). When you move the mouse cursor over files with photos, you will see their thumbnails next to them:

      If you click on any attachment file, a new window will open in which you can scroll through them all, and fully view the pictures and office documents. For items that cannot be viewed, a "Download" link will appear.


    2. If open email with attachments in the electronic interface of Mail.ru, then at the bottom you will find previews of all attached files; the ability to display them as a list or as a tile; and also get the opportunity to download each object individually or all together in one archive, which will significantly increase speed and convenience:

      As I mentioned, when you click on some types of files, they can be view directly in the mail web interface without downloading to your computer. This will be true for presentations, office documents (Word, Excel, Power Point), photos and music.

      If the file is an archive, then the Mail.ru interface will allow you to read the list of objects contained in it, which, if desired, can even be downloaded separately:

    3. Remarkably, all attachment files that have ever been attached to letters can be viewed separately, and if desired, filter only attachments of a certain type by selecting from the top menu "Files", and in the left panel by selecting their type:

      When you create a message in the mail.ru web interface, then to attach files you will have the corresponding button in front of your eyes. Although it will be possible to simply drag the necessary files into the browser window with the mouse. But this is not the main thing.

      I know from my own experience that most users do not really bother with their weight and size when sending photos, and modern cameras give out simply monstrous resolutions on the mountain. To use, even if allowing, most of us do not like or do not know how.

      This creates an inconvenience for mobile Internet users and, more importantly, creates an increased load, requires a lot of storage space from the servers of Mail.ru itself. Therefore, thinking first of all about their loved ones, they gave us a rather useful, in my opinion, opportunity. automatic photo cropping when attached to a letter:

      On the larger side, they will leave 800 pixels, which can reduce the weight of the photo by an order of magnitude without affecting its quality when viewed on a monitor screen. You only once need to decide on pruning, and in the future it will already be carried out without any questions. Well, and a little bonus - when you move the mouse cursor over the attached photo you can turn it, which again will allow you not to bother with photo editors.

  3. There is support in mail from Mail.ru themes for the electronic interface (at the very bottom of the window there is a link "Themes"), which, in fact, is already the norm for this type of service. But there is also the possibility letters using a fairly large set of templates (the "Style" drop-down list in the upper right part of the form for writing a new message). This can be useful when writing congratulatory or some other special letters:

    A little to the left there is a block of buttons for the implementation of the typed text, it or several other languages ​​that mail.ru-mail supports, as well as for express checking it for errors. It won't be redundant.

  4. All messages and attachments in Mail.ru go through virus check with the help of Kasperych, and all links affixed in letters are analyzed for reliability using the WOT service, which I already mentioned in the description.
  5. Some may like the ability to activate and configure free SMS messaging on your mobile phone when messages arrive in a specific folder in your email. All this is connected in the settings (there is a link to them at the top of the window on the right) in the SMS notification section:


  6. If I'm not mistaken, this system did not have correspondence collector from mailboxes of other popular services (Gmail, Yandex mail, etc.), but there was only the possibility of sending correspondence to them. So, now there is such an opportunity. It is available from the settings in the "Mail from other mailboxes" section:

  7. And finally, I would like to recommend that you go to the password and security settings to indicate the mobile number, if you have not already indicated, or at least enter an additional E-mail, which will allow you to quickly recover a lost or stolen password. With a static one, it will also be possible to bind to this IP:
