To open an email account at Gmail.com you will need to go to the Google search engine home page. You should choose the Gmail link at the top o the screen, and you will see the login and general information page. You should then click on ‘sign up for Gmail’ which is found under the login box.
Then you need to complete the ‘create an account’ page, which will involve a number of fields which ask for your personal details. You should also check the availability for your desire log-in name. You will be asked to enter a password too, so make sure you choose something that people can’t guess and will be safe. Gmail will rate your password for you and tell you whether it is strong or weak. You need to click on ‘password strength’, and a window will pop up that explains in detail the importance of password security.
You then need to answer the security questions. After that, fill out an anti-spam word verification entry and check the ‘I accept’ button, which is found under ‘Terms of Service’. This means you will be transferred to a welcome page, which has more information about Gmail for you.
Then you will need to click ‘I’m ready, show me my account’. Then you will be able to start using your brand new Gmail email account. You can make use of special features on offer from Gmail, like the instant ‘grouping’ of related messages, and even extra storage space for yourself.
Once you’ve got the account you’ll be able to learn about all the other Gmail functions, like a keyword-related search mode and even a filing system that lets you give sub-labels to every folder that you create. Take the Gmail tour and you’ll be able to see all the features that will benefit you.
It is quite simple to set up an email address; the following steps should be taken:
• Choose which provider you want to use
This is probably the trickiest part of setting up an email account, simply because of the choice that is available. The most popular are Hotmail (part of MSN), and Google Mail. Once you have chosen the provider of your email you need to:
• Set up the email
Quite simply registering for the service you have chosen does this. To do this, you will need to choose a username, and a password. The username should be something that is easily remembered, and normally consists of your name, and possibly some digits. Passwords should be a word and digits that you can remember, and should not be the same as any other passwords that you may have for bank accounts, or any shopping sites that you are registered with. This is because it is safer to choose different passwords for each individual account that you open online.
• Confirm your account
Some email providers will require you to confirm the account you have set up. This is normally done by receipt of email, and you will need to click a link.
Once these steps have been followed then the email address you have set up should become active, and can be used straight away. The settings of the account can be changed, and the email can be used to send, receive, and forward messages, including attachments such as video, pictures, and documents.
Email accounts also have a spam folder; to stop unwanted advertising emails coming through to your account. Email speeds up the process of communicating with people, and can be used to confirm purchases, as well as keeping in touch with family and friends.
