The Internet has become so firmly entrenched in everyday life that there are fewer and fewer people who are not covered by this virtual information space. Nevertheless, today you may need an answer to the question of how to register an email (e-mail - electronic mail box) on the mail server.
Basic concepts
A mail server on the Web is a tool for sending and receiving messages in electronic form. This method of communication allows you to receive incoming messages almost instantly and immediately send a response. The most popular servers on Runet are Yandex, Mail, and Rambler. How to register an email on one of them? First you need to figure out what data is stored on the servers and what is the structure of the email address.
Each mail server has data on all registered user mailboxes. The name of each such box is unique. Indeed, when registering a new name, the system automatically checks for the absence of matches with existing ones.
The email address has the following structure: mailbox_name@mail_server_name.domain_extension.
The name of the mailbox is its unique identifier assigned by the user, and the name of the mail server indicates which mail server the mailbox is registered on. A domain extension is the short meaning of the country to which the server belongs. For example, in the ivanov@mail.ru mailbox, the name of the mailbox is ivanov, the name of the mail server is mail, the domain extension of the server is ru. The e-mail address is called e-mail, and on the slang accepted in RuNet - email.
How to register an email address
To register a new address, you need to go to the page of the selected mail server and find the active button for registration on it ("Registration" or "Register a new mailbox"). To create an email, in the form that appears, you must fill in all the necessary fields. Usually it is such data as a user’s name, password, name and surname of the owner, mobile number, data for recovery in case of loss of a password - for example, the answer to some secret question.
After that, click on the button with such an inscription as "Register". An email with the entered data will be created after checking the uniqueness of the name. If it is not unique, the system will offer options with the addition of several characters to an already invented name. You can choose any option (all these addresses are free) or come up with another one.
How to send and receive letters
The mailbox address can be dictated without fear or sent to your friends and business partners so that they can send letters to him.
On all mail services, an intuitive interface has been created for user mailboxes. After entering his login and password, the owner will see folders with incoming, outgoing and deleted messages, as well as functional buttons for creating, sending, deleting messages.
To send a letter, you need to know the recipient’s email address, which is entered in the “To” or “Recipient” field. In each letter you can attach a photo, video or document, send the desired link. New messages that have not yet been opened usually have special marks, for example, in bold. You can open them simply by clicking on the line with the letter.
Secure your inbox: how?
Registering an email and learning how to receive and send letters is just the beginning of an important way in exchanging electronic information. But this path can be fraught with danger. Fraud on the Internet is very common. Therefore, some safety rules should be kept in mind.
The password for the mailbox is better to think up more complicated - with letters, numbers and symbols. This will help protect your account from hacking. Also, do not check your mail from unfamiliar devices: some browsers and spyware automatically save passwords, which means that someone else can easily enter your mailbox. Attachments and links from dubious senders should not be opened - this is how attackers can send malicious programs.
Also, do not store letters with various passwords and other confidential information in your inbox - in case of hacking, this data will easily fall into the hands of scammers.
