Mail.ru is one of the largest and most popular sites on the Russian Internet. Anyone can get a mailbox here absolutely free of charge and use it as much as they like.
In order for you to be given mail on the "mail", you must go through a simple procedure called registration. To do this, you first need to open the mail.ru website.
You can just click and Mail will open in a new window.
In the upper left corner of the site you will see a white rectangle with the name "Mail".
With the help of it, we will register on mail.ru. To complete this procedure, click on the inscription "Registration in the mail."
After that, another page will load - something like a questionnaire. If you fill it out correctly, you will receive an email.
First you need to enter your first and last name. You can print them both in Russian and in English.
Then you need to enter your birthday. Click on the "Day" field and select a date from the list. Do the same for the month and year.
A little lower is the "City" field. It can also be selected from the list. Or you can leave it blank - this field is optional.
But you need to specify your gender. To do this, simply click on it to put a dot next to it.
The next field "Mailbox" is the most important one. This is the email address, that is, the name of the future mailbox (e-mail).
You have to come up with it yourself. This is not a very difficult task, since the system will actively help - suggest free names.
The main thing to remember is that the address must consist of English letters (no Russian letters!). You can also add numbers, an underscore ("_"), a period (""."), and a minus sign ("-") to it. There should be no spaces in the address.
Each user is given their own unique name. You cannot select a name for a mailbox that is already occupied by someone. If you have created and typed an existing e-mail, the message “A mailbox with the same name already exists” will appear. And the system will prompt other, free options. If you like one, you can choose it.
All mail addresses consist of a name, a sign @ and some kind of ending. It was originally mail.ru
For example, in the e-mail field, I typed the name ivan. If this address is not occupied by anyone, then my mailbox will be called [email protected] And if I entered the name ivan2015, and it turned out to be free, then my mailbox would be called [email protected]
But this "tail" can be changed through a small additional field.
By clicking on it, a list will appear from which you can select a different ending. For example, if I select @list.ru from this list, then my mailbox will be called [email protected]
The next field to be filled in is "Password".
The password is a few English letters and numbers that you will use to open your mailbox. Without a password, it is impossible to open e-mail and read letters.
It must be at least six characters long. It is mandatory that the password contains both letters (English only) and numbers.
When it is printed, letters and numbers will be typed in dots. This is done on purpose so that no one can spy on the password. After all, if another person recognizes him, he will be able to open your mail and read the letters.
And immediately after filling in the “Password” field, write it down in a safe place so as not to accidentally forget it!
After that, the system asks for a mobile phone number. This is done so that in case of loss of the password from the mail, you can restore it.
The mobile number must be entered with the operator code. For instance:
Do not worry, no one will get access to it and not a ruble will be debited from the account. Just a confirmation code will be sent to this number, which will need to be printed in a special field.
If for some reason you do not want to indicate your number (or simply do not have one), you can leave this field blank.
Well, and, finally, it remains to take the last step - to register. To do this, click on the appropriate button:
If, according to the system, you made a mistake somewhere while filling out the registration form, a message will appear in the problem area
So, you need to retype this part, otherwise Mail will not register mail for you.
After clicking on the green “Register” button, a small window should appear on the screen in which you need to enter the code. In the event that when filling out the questionnaire you indicated your mobile phone, the code will be sent to this number in an SMS message. And if you did NOT specify the phone number, then the code will be written in the window itself - you just need to type it and click on the "Finish" button.
After that, your new e-mail will open on the mail ru. But first, most likely, this window will appear:
These are the email settings. You can choose them, or you can not choose - just close this window.
And here is what the newly minted mail.ru box looks like:
Now they can be fully used. You don't have to do anything else - this mail already belongs to you, and it is already configured to send and receive letters.
Important: The full email address is written in the upper right corner. Be sure to rewrite it. After all, it is this address that you will need to tell the person so that he can write you a letter.
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

Hello, dear readers of the blog site. This article is written for those who are just starting out and have decided to master such a thing as email. This thing is very convenient and useful (despite the dominance of instant messengers, as well as social networks).
In the bourgeoisie, "mail" is most often called Email or E-mail (from Electronic Mail), well, in Runet, many different terms are used, for example (in descending order of popularity):
I do not speak English well, and it is difficult to answer which particular version of transliteration from English into Russian is the closest to the truth. Therefore, in the future narrative I will use them all more or less evenly, so as not to offend anyone.
Today we will talk about the basic things:
- Which free email service to choose to create your email account?
- What will be your email address? How can the “post” be protected from the encroachments of the “radishes”?
- How to register? What to indicate and what not?
- How to enter your box (boxes) and how not to do it?
- How to get to "my page" (inbox folder) after logging in to Email?
- What settings should be done so that the use of the new Email would be convenient and painless?
At the end, I will invite you to vote for the mail service that you prefer to the rest at this stage. In the comments, you can justify your choice so that it would be easier for other readers to make their choice. As an “experienced” person, I advise you to pay attention when choosing to such important characteristics as ease of development, available functionality, security of work, the amount of space for storing mail and the effectiveness of the email service against spam emails.
Which free email service to choose?
Let's start right away by choosing a free service where you can. And I think you already know about that (and if you don’t know, then use the link). In fact, there are not so many options for choosing a mail service, especially if we consider only large players in this market. I have already written about almost all of them in some detail, and I hope that these publications will help you quickly navigate the wilds of the new mail interface for you.
However, at once I want to make a reservation. If you need to get a box for just a few minutes (for example, to register somewhere), then you can use one of the many that I also wrote about in some detail (read that material at the link provided). Such services do not require registration and often even allow you to send messages anonymously so that you could not be traced to the return address later. If you do not need it, then at least you will know that this is possible and you do not need to pay for it, a priori.
Let me bring list of the most popular e-mail services in runet:
- gmail(you can enter your mail, and go through the registration) - Google mail, which I personally use since its inception (2005). The service is advanced, reliable, safe, with a good spam cutter and a sophisticated interface, and therefore it is not always possible to master it completely on the go. Therefore, I advise you to use my explanations in an article about that. You are allocated 15 GB of disk space for mail (read).
- Yandex Mail(you can log in to your Email, and go through the registration) - a very good product from a well-known brand in Runet. The “mail” interface is simple and straightforward, but at the same time quite functional, so in order not to miss anything, check out my publication on this topic -. Recently, they have seriously improved security and improved spam filtering. From 10 to 20 GB is allocated for storing messages.
- Mail.ru(you will find the inbox folder, and you can create a new email address) - the oldest free mail service in Runet. Just a few years ago, it was seriously redesigned and now it fully meets all the criteria described above (simplicity, functionality, security, and anti-spam). However, there are nuances, so I advise you to read the manual. As much as 25 GB are provided to you free of charge.
Rambler Post(you can log in, and create a new Email box) - this service used to compete with the players mentioned above, but lately it has been far behind them in all key indicators. You can read it, but I personally do not advise starting a box there. Yes, and free disk space at your disposal will be only 2 GB.
Outlook.com(“my page” with inbox lives, and registration of a new email is possible) - earlier this “postal” service was called HotMail and was the first to provide an opportunity for ordinary mortals to get an email address for free. If Hotmail caused a lot of complaints from users, then the completely redesigned Outlook.com is “quite nothing to itself” (for details, see the article -). Depending on the situation, you have the opportunity to have from 5 to 25 GB of disk space for free.
Yahoo Mail(the entrance to the Email is located, and you can create a new mailbox). Despite the fantastic 1 TB of free space, it has nothing to brag about in everything else - read about the new interface. It seriously falls short of Gmail, but those who need a lot of space, but do not need bells and whistles, may well get themselves an Email on this service.- is a relatively new service that only came out of beta in 2015. Its main feature is the ability to encrypt sent messages and attachments. It goes without saying that this increases the security of correspondence by an order of magnitude. There is a free plan in Proton Mile, but there is not enough space for mail, and if you need more, you will have to pay a little.
I hope that the information provided (including links to my publications) will help you make the right and informed choice. This is very important, but it is also worth considering a number of details when registering, choosing an Email address, when entering mail, which can seriously affect security and affect your overall impression of .
Registering and choosing an email address
By itself, registration in the above mail services is quite the same. However, you should pay special attention to the one that you set when creating the Email box. Why is it so important?
- Well, firstly, the login in our case will act as your Email in the future. You will probably provide it to someone and even dictate it, so you should make sure that it is easy to pronounce and, if possible, not too long. Unfortunately, there are times when you could easily register a mailbox with the name [email protected](), are long gone.
The fact is that on each postal service, each registered Email is unique and should not be repeated in any case (meaning only for this host, i.e. the end of the next one after @). If you select a name already used by someone, then you will be asked to choose something else (for example, add something like a date of birth or age at the end). It is practically impossible to get a beautiful, concise and easily pronounceable mail now, but it is still worth striving for this.
If a beautiful email is desperately needed, then you can either find some not very popular mail service (conceived without any guarantees), where few people register, or attach as many beautiful names for mailboxes to it as you like. However, it would be better to tie the boxes created in this way to some popular and powerful mail services.
So, for example, it is free, but this service is paid (but in some cases “the game will cost the candle”). Again, it is not so easy to register a domain name like Petrov in the ru zone, but you can look for something suitable (maybe and in other domain zones such as net, som or regional). Read the details in the article -.
- Secondly, it is important, as well as activate all the free services available on the service. means of protection from unauthorized access to your mailbox. Why bother so much if you don’t have “anything like that” stored in the boxes, and indeed “who needs your mail”?
An is needed, and not specifically your mail, but the contents of any mailbox that can be accessed by guessing a password (easy combinations are selected in seconds by public software) or by some slightly more advanced methods. From there, all the data of your accounts in social networks, systems, and other services of the same brand will be automatically pulled out from there (for example, Yandex, Google and Mile.ru use one pair of login and password to enter the vast majority of their services), as well as others useful things, which can then be sold very profitably to spammers and other “radishes”.
Remember, only one box out of a million hacked ones was broken “by order”, and all the rest are broken “on stream”, but after you lose access to your accounts on social networks (without the possibility of recovering them), after committing the theft of your electronic money ( ) and other troubles for you from the fact that they didn’t break you specifically, but everyone in a row, it won’t be easier.
Therefore, immediately chop on your nose - there is not much security, as well as it is never superfluous. If the free mail service you use has a new cartoon that increases security (confirming access to Email via SMS notification, restricting access by IP, etc.), then do not be too lazy to deal with all this (at least with the help of the articles above ) and start using.
Entering the inbox or how not to enter the Email
Actually, I gave the addresses for entering the mail a little higher and it would seem, what else can I say? But there is something to say, and this again will concern security. The fact is that even the presence of the most complex password is not a guarantee of the security of your mailings. Often, attackers use social engineering to achieve their goal. For example, not so long ago I was scammed in a similar way - they sent a letter that I should not be blocked. I did - as a result, I lost part of the funds placed there.
A similar approach can be applied to gain access to your Email. (fishing). The bait is thrown in the form of a cunningly written letter (mass email is being sent, for example, among users of some free mail service), the content of which is designed to cause users to perform certain actions. You and I, like a fish, swallow this hook, follow the link from the letter to a fake (fake) site and enter the login and password from our mail that the hacker needs so much. Everything, after this we lose a lot of everything that we need so much for life in the Internet space.
In order for the above situation not to become a reality for you, you need to clearly fulfill one condition - log into your email account only from browser bookmarks, or (at worst) by finding a mail service through Yandex or Google. But in no case should you follow the links from the sent letters, even if the URL of the link seems correct to you, because you should not rely on it - only one character can be changed in it, and it will already be a completely different site, although outwardly and completely similar to original(). They will pick you up there like a sticky and they won’t even ask for your name.
The main thing is not to accidentally fall for the bait of phishers (fishermen), who replace the sites you need with their fakes, and without seeing the catch, tell them your username and password through the login form. This applies not only to logging into Email, but also to any other services that require authorization (login and password).
Therefore, create an appropriate tab in your browser to access the inbox ("my page") in the Email service of your choice. You can both fix browser tabs (right-click on the tab and select "fix"), and even creating a shortcut on the desktop would be a great solution. Just forget about entering the mailbox or other service from emails. This is a little more difficult than clicking on a link from an email, but it is 100% safe. Take care of your email from a young age.
Good luck to you! See you soon on the blog pages site

The modern world cannot be imagined without communication on the Internet, despite the fact that a few years ago it did not exist, and ordinary mail was used to transmit information over long distances. But with the gradual advent of modern technology and their improvement, anyone can send a letter, and it will be delivered anywhere in the world in a matter of seconds. It's about email. In this case, there is no need to write a message by hand, then put it in an envelope, glue a stamp, carry it to the post office, wait until it is delivered to the addressee, and then wait the same amount of time for an answer. Despite the fact that many still do not know what email is (we are talking mainly about the older generation), a huge number of people around the world are actively using this service.
So, e-mail makes it possible to send the same letters, only in a modern format. Thanks to the Internet, anyone can send not only text, but also videos and images. Thanks to modern technologies, sending a letter is possible for anyone who has his own mailbox on the Internet. So what is email? What is this mailing system? You can get answers to these and many other questions from this article.
What is e-mail?
At the moment, thanks to the Internet, all its users have the opportunity to create an email on one of the free servers. Registration itself on these sites occurs within two minutes. But it is worth noting that there is always a very high percentage that your account will be hacked, and all personal correspondence can get to bad people who will use it for their own purposes. E-mail is becoming very convenient for various companies that, due to their work needs, are forced to send a large number of letters with information. If they did not have email addresses, they would have to work with a huge amount of paper every day. But self-respecting companies do not start emails on free servers. Registration of their mailboxes takes place on their own intranet domains. Thus, it allows you to speed up the process of any company.
History of email creation
In fact, no one planned to specifically create an email, it happened as a matter of course in a company that got to the point of development when it became a necessity, and the situation was as follows. One US programmer named Ray Thompson was busy developing short email messages. Although this program had a narrow ability to send such messages, its main difference was that each of this group of contacts had its own specific mailbox name. Thus, 1965 can rightfully be considered the day of the emergence of Internet mail. The answer to the question, what is an email, is as follows. E-mail is a type of communication medium that can be used for various purposes by sending text messages, graphic pictures, or video files.
What is an email address?
E-mail with exactly the same rights as regular mail must also have its own address. This is necessary so that the letter reaches exactly the addressee to whom it was sent. Starting his mailbox, the user goes through a special form, where he enters certain data and receives his unique email. Registration basically consists in entering the first name, last name, login and password. Moreover, the login comes before a special separator sign (@), this is the definitive name for your mail, while then comes the name of the server on which your mailbox is located.
How to find out your email? In order to find out your email address, you can initially save it as a note on a piece of paper during registration, or you can find it directly on the main page of your mailbox. It is often displayed in the top bar of the server page.
"Dog"
Mail (email) has a special separator character @ ("dog"). It was invented by the same programmer. This was done in order to separate the name of the recipient's mailbox and its location in a particular domain. Thus, Ray Thompson was able to teach the program to automatically distinguish between such details. By the way, choosing the required character on the keyboard did not take much time, since then the @ sign already had some popularity among programmers. Within a few years, this has become phenomenal.
How to create a mailbox?
Creating a mailbox on almost all free servers does not have any significant differences and is the same. You need to go to the site of one of them and find the registration form. Next, you will most likely find several fields, some of which are required and are marked with an "*" symbol. After you have entered all your data, the fun begins - you need to come up with a name for your mailbox, sometimes it takes quite a lot of time. This is due to the fact that the most popular mailbox names are often taken, so you have to be smart and try to come up with a unique name. To do this, they usually enter their personal mobile phone number, as a rule, it is free. Addresses with the names of their companies are also created, but there are problems with them, since sometimes it is problematic to correctly convey the name of the mailbox, for example, by phone. As for numerical names, such problems are not observed. Let's proceed as follows. In order to fully understand what it is, let's choose the following address - [email protected]. In fact, such an address and domain does not exist, but it is better to see once than hear a hundred times!
When setting a password for your mail, in no case should you rely solely on your memory, it is best to immediately write it down on paper. It is also worth taking care of its complexity. Never make a password that will consist of your date of birth or name. Such things are hacked very simply, it is better if letters and numbers are present in it. Thus, you can be sure of the safety of your correspondence. Now you were able to register your email, "my page" will show all incoming and outgoing letters.
Working with e-mail
E-mail is ubiquitous and very popular, it is especially relevant not only in personal correspondence with a friend who is far away, but also in the daily work of almost all companies and corporations around the world. This is common among several employees who create a common project, and among managers for reporting on some branches or departments. It saves a lot of time, convenient and practical. Having received the necessary file and having worked on it, a person has the opportunity to immediately send it back. At the same time, you will never lose your email address, and there is no need to remember it, since it is saved along with the sent letter.
The e-mail user also has the opportunity to receive various newsletters about products or offers of interest to him. There are mailing lists on the Internet on absolutely any topic that can satisfy the user. But there are times when you did not subscribe to the mailing list, but tons of letters stubbornly come to your mail that are completely uninteresting to you. This rather actual problem for any owner of an e-mail box is called spam.
Spam
By receiving such letters to your postal address, you become one of several million people who see them in their mailbox at the same time as you. Often they talk about a product or a charitable organization that urgently collects money to help someone. It is worth noting that once you make a transfer to the account of scammers, you will never see your money again, but you will help not the starving children of Africa, but intruders who, among other things, can gain access to your credit card.
Also quite often letters with viruses come in, they offer you to download some file that can not only break your computer, but also provide all your information to third parties.
Spam most often has a bright headline, such as “Congratulations! You won!”, “Luck!”, “Prize”, etc. If you receive such letters, in no case should you download and respond to them, it is better not to open them at all, but even when reading, you must mark as spam and immediately send to the appropriate section.
Finally
Above, answers were given to questions about what an email is, how to create a mailbox, how to work with it in the future. The advantages of this modern type of communication are undeniable. A few years ago, it took a lot of effort and time to send or receive a letter, and the farther the distance, the longer you had to wait. The Internet has helped to erase the borders of states and kilometers of distances, allowing people from all over the world to communicate and exchange information.
