In the usual sense, mail is the exchange of letters and parcels. So far, the power of human thought has not reached the level of sending parcels via e-mail, but perhaps this will be realized in the near future. Despite this, e-mail has many advantages.
1. In an email, you can send not only messages in the form of text, but also attach files to the email: tables, photos, drawings, videos, presentations, and so on. Letters can be deleted, sent to other people, stored, filtered.

5. Efficiency - you can check mail and reply to a letter even from a mobile phone with Internet access.
So, let's answer the question: "How to use e-mail"?
First you need to go to the site of a specific search or mail system, for example, Yandex, Google, Rambler, Mail.ru and so on.
Let’s try using Google as an example. At the top of the site you should find and click "Mail", a new window will appear to enter the mail and into your account. Since while you do not have mail in Google, click the red button in the upper right corner - "Create an account". Next, personal data is filled in - first name, last name, username, password, gender, date of birth, mobile phone, spare mail address. You create the user name yourself, it must be unique (if you already have a user with this login, the system will warn you and ask you to enter another name), consist of Latin letters, the length of the name is from 6 to 30 characters. Keep in mind that if you intend to conduct business correspondence via e-mail, you should invent and choose more restrained logins.
Next, enter the password for the mail. It should be reliable enough, it is desirable that it contains uppercase and lowercase letters, symbols and numbers, length - at least 8 characters. Enter the password again to confirm it.
The date of birth on this site must be specified in order to have access to materials in accordance with your age. The fact is that a Google account allows you to have access to services such as Gmail (mail), YouTube (video portal) and Google+ (social network). You can set up your account so that no one sees your age.
The gender, as well as the mobile phone number, is filled at the discretion of the user.
To register mail, it remains only to prove that you are a real person (and not a robot), and enter the specified Latin letters on the keyboard. If the characters are difficult to read, you can click on the "Audio" sign, the system will dictate them to you. If there is no desire to do this, indicate the mobile phone number. A confirmation code will come to your phone in the form of SMS, you will need to enter it in the "Confirm account" field.
So, you have your own email inbox, you can send and receive letters. How to write a letter? We find the "Write a letter" button, in the window that appears, in the "To" field, write the recipient's address. If you want someone else to receive a copy of the letter, enter another email address in the "Copy" field. The Subject field can be left blank, but if you specify the subject and essence of the letter, the recipient will be more comfortable. You can write text in a letter, format it, use the Attach button or the Paperclip icon to attach files, insert links, photos, drawings, save a draft letter. Before you click the send button, you can check the spelling. If you want to know exactly whether the recipient received and read it, check the "Notify me of reading" checkbox.
Reading received letters is easier - just click on a new letter (it is usually in bold). If you no longer want to receive emails from any author, you can mark one of them as spam. Further, all letters from this address will be automatically sent to the "Spam" folder. So, now you have an idea of how to use e-mail, you can correspond with business partners and friends, register on social networks, make purchases through the Internet and much, much more.
