Today in our country there are two search engines leading in popularity and significantly ahead of all others in terms of frequency of use. These are Google and Yandex. And the latter is exclusively Russian development. In addition to the search function, Yandex offers a number of other useful services to its users, including email. If you are not using this resource yet, then read about how to create a new mailbox on Yandex and what opportunities it provides.
The first step is to get to the main page of the search engine. To do this, in the address bar, you must enter its url - www.yandex.ru. In the upper right corner you will see a small square block called "Mail". We need a button that allows you to create a mailbox on Yandex. It’s called “Make Mail.” We click on it and go to the registration section.
Instructions for registering a new mailbox in Yandex
In order to register in the system, you must enter your personal data in the appropriate fields:
How to choose a login?
Login is a unique identifier that you will use to enter mail and other services in Yandex. To facilitate the creation of a login, you will be offered a list of 10 names formed on the basis of your personal data (name and surname). If you are not satisfied with the proposed options, you can come up with your own, but it should not coincide with the names already registered in the system. Otherwise, you will have to pick up another, until finally you find free. Please note: when the creation of the mailbox on Yandex is completed, it will be impossible to change the login.
Create a password
Next, you will be directed to the password registration page for your mail. In order to create a new mailbox on Yandex, you will need a strong and preferably complex password. The security of your mail from hacking directly depends on this, so take this stage seriously. It is recommended not to use simple words as an access code (it will be easy for attackers to pick them up), as well as names, dates of birth, passport details and the like personal information. To create a sufficiently complex password, use the "illogical" sequence from:
- uppercase and lowercase letters
- numbers;
- permissible punctuation marks (comma, period, asterisk, brackets, etc.).
You can use a very simple idea - come up with some kind of phrase in Russian and write it using the English keyboard layout. In the future, do not tell your password to anyone, Yandex specialists do not have the right to ask him.
Security Question
The next step that you must go through to create a new mailbox on Yandex is to come up with and answer the security question. It is necessary to restore the password in case you forget it. The question also should not be from the category of “What is my name?”, And only you should know the answer to it.
Mobile phone
If you wish, you can add your mobile phone number during registration, which will be tied to your mailbox. It will also be used for password recovery. In addition, it will be able to receive some important notifications. This number binding procedure is also available after a new Yandex mailbox has been created. It can be found in the corresponding section "Phone numbers".
Final stage
Now you just have to go a few steps. Enter the special characters (code) generated automatically. This is necessary to prove to the system that you are not a robot, but a real person. After entering, click on the "Create Mail" button. Now you have access to your own mailing address.
We use Yandex mail
First you need to open the mailbox on Yandex. You can also do this from the main page. In the upper right corner in the blue block, enter the username and password. If you are logging in from someone else's computer, check the box next to the corresponding item. You will be taken to the box for your letters. Here you can:
- write, read and forward a letter;
- sort, group letters;
- customize the look of the interface (choose a design, a screensaver);
- set up various email programs ;
- subscribe to RSS feeds;
- much more.
Using the built-in functions, you can set up automatic sorting of letters into folders. To do this, you need to create rules with certain conditions under which letters will fall into a particular section. If you have opened separate mail for certain addresses (for example, letters of work), then you can configure them to be automatically forwarded in the "Rules for Processing Letters" section. You will familiarize yourself with other features of Yandex-mail when you create your own mailbox.
Mail for a domain on Yandex
In addition to regular mail, you can create a new mailbox on Yandex with a unique address in the form of "name@domain.ru". Here, the name can be any word you like, and the domain can be the name of your domain, if any. In this case, you can create up to a thousand mailboxes on one single domain registered on Yandex. It is convenient, including for owners of small companies. So you can connect your organization’s domain to Yandex-mail and create mailboxes for all your employees on it. Or if you are the curator of a group of students, create your own domain mail and communicate with all your students easily and quickly.
For example, an electronic mailbox of this kind may be of the form sara@artstudio.ru. Here sara is the name of the owner of the mailbox, and artstudio is the name of the organization to which the mail domain belongs.
How to create a new Yandex mailbox for your domain
The first thing you need to do is connect the domain to the Yandex service. On the "Domain Connection" page, enter its name in the appropriate form and click the "Connect" button. You will be taken to a page with a list of domains you have added. In order to start using the Yandex.Mail service, you need to go through two steps:
- Verify that you own this domain.
- delegate the domain to Yandex service management.
After that, the entrance to your mailbox will be available at the address of the form mail.yandex.ru/for/namedomain.ru. If you want to be able to open a mailbox on Yandex through your interface, then you need to configure access to the authorization form on the domain. In this case, an address of the form mail.name domain.ru will be used.
You can do this using the DNS record editor, access to which is provided by your domain registrar. Here you need to specify the following data:
- subdomain name (mail);
- record type (cname);
- data (domain.mail.yandex.net).
After that, the mail.yamedomain.ru link will automatically redirect you to the page of your mail.yandex.ru/for/myadomen.ru mailbox.
