Mail. How to choose a strong password for your mailbox

Useful tips

Hello, dear readers of the blog site. Today I want to continue the conversation about the most popular services, and next up is - Mail.ru Mail. I won’t say that he is a generator of promising ideas and innovations in ensuring the convenience of working with correspondence, but he is a leader in this market in RuNet and this alone deserves respect.

In addition, over the past year and a half, the Mail.ru email development team has significantly expanded and they have managed to implement almost everything useful from competitors’ tools.

More added convenient viewing photographs attached to letters and office documents directly in the web interface, mobile versions and applications, language support, correspondence collector, new interface, virus protection and much more.

Although they don’t have that yet high level(two-step authorization using cell phone number and trusted computers), and there is no similar service yet, but most Mail.ru Mail users all this is either not necessary, or they never bothered with it at all. Therefore, I offer you an excursion into the possibilities and nuances of this free service, and you will decide for yourself whether to use it or not.

History of creation and current position of Mail.ru mail

It dates back to as far back as 1998 (not much later than that). True, then the project was called Port.ru and implied the development of a free engine postal service for its subsequent sale abroad (not everyone knew then). However, due to a combination of circumstances, this project was tested in our RuNet on the Mail.ru domain and in the very first months of its existence showed phenomenal results in the growth of the number of users.

As can be seen from the screenshot, it was then proposed to use Yandex to search the Internet on the Port.ru portal. Then, after moving to new domain, the owners began to offer their users, while simultaneously developing their own, to which they plan to completely switch in the near future (or have already switched).

Actually, to be surprised at the monstrous popularity of mailboxes from mail.ru It’s not worth it, because at that time Gmail and YaPochta did not exist at all, but there were only bourgeois projects ( and ), which at that time did not pamper the user with support for the Russian language. The new product with a Russian-language interface was liked and the number of registered mailboxes began to grow exponentially.

My first account was also registered on Mail, because at that time a similar service from Yandex had just appeared (2000) and had not yet gained the necessary popularity, and there were still several years to wait before the appearance of Gmail. There were no particular problems with its operation (it still hasn’t been hacked), and after some time, having become firmly hooked on Google’s brainchild, I simply set up redirection from my first mailbox to a new one in Gmail. Until recently, I didn’t even go into the Mail.ru mail interface.

As a person keenly interested in everything new and promising, I quickly switched to Gmail when it was still in beta testing (registration was only possible by invitation). However, the majority of users of this system remained faithful to it (it works and is fine) and this is the general trend in the development of this market. Beginners have to rely mainly on the influx of new users, and not on poaching audiences from competitors.

That is why mail service Mail.ru almost until 2011 did not develop much, resting on the laurels of popularity gained in previous years, when competition was very weak. However, the gap between their capabilities and the capabilities of their competitors grew more and more, and they even began to think about moving.

The owners became worried and decided to invest in the development of the service in order to completely keep up with their competitors. The development team was increased threefold, and in a year and a half, everything that I briefly listed at the beginning of the article was produced. As a result, on this moment the situation has stabilized and shares of mail giants in RuNet frozen in approximately the following positions:

Email Mail.ru - 25 million users
The brainchild of Yandex - 16 million
Still alive - 4 lamas
Gmail - about the same

In the global ranking, Mail's email service occupies a modest fifth position, but this is still an impressive result, especially considering that more than two-thirds of this giant's audience is concentrated in Russia:

At the moment, about 400 million mailboxes are registered on Mail.ru, 100 of which can be called active (they log in and check their correspondence at least once every three months). And out of this hundred, a full fifth are accounts whose owners delete mail every day. Monstrous volumes - about three to four thousand letters pass through their data centers in just one second.

At this point, the excursion into the history and reasons stimulating the development of Mail.ru email can be considered complete. It's time to move on directly to the description of registration, login, settings and opportunities that this box provides to its users.

Registering a mailbox in Mail.ru (creating an account)

So, let's start, according to tradition, by registering the box and logging into it. Everything here is simple and straightforward. Go to the registration page and enter your first and last name in the form fields provided, as well as the desired E-mail address, or rather its beginning, because there will be only four ending options (@mail.ru, @list.ru, @bk.ru or @inbox.ru):

Please note that in this way you not only create an E-mail in mail.ru, but also get access to all other services of this mega-portal (in fact, a universal account).

It would seem that there is nothing complicated here. However, many thousands of mailboxes are hacked precisely because of the task simple passwords, which are easy to remember, but at the same time easy to pick up (by brute force, for example). There is a misconception that since there is nothing to steal from you, then no one will break it.

There will be, because there are a number of reasons why hacking mailboxes is still relevant and is in demand:

Absolutely any mailbox is valuable to a hacker, because it can then be sold, along with a bunch of others, to spammers who need them to send messages in millions of copies. If you want to help spammers and get your Mail.ru account blocked, put your password on QWERTY email or 123456. Hacking in this and two subsequent cases is carried out automatically by using a database of the most popular combinations or dictionaries.

In a broken box inadvertently ( in an automatic way) it will be possible to find data from your accounts on social networks, monetary systems, data for accessing websites and other things necessary in the life of a hacker, which can then be sold wholesale or retail (or monetized yourself).

Even if you can’t find the passwords for these useful things, you can always request their recovery, and in most cases the accounts will be linked again to this same hacked Email.

You may be blackmailed in order to return the mailbox or the confidential data stored in it. There are a lot of options, and in this case there will usually be one payment method - paid SMS.
Well, in the rarest case, you will be broken purposefully at the request of ill-wishers or competitors. In this case, only a really strong password and its recovery using an SMS message that will be sent to the cell phone number specified during registration can help.

I hope that these arguments have convinced you of the need create a complex password when registering with Mail.ru. Another thing is that it’s not so easy to come up with, let alone remember.

This is where it comes to the rescue. A cool program that will generate a complex combination for you and remember it. The main thing is not to forget the password from Kipas itself, and it will store all the others (it’s a good idea to make a backup of the encrypted database with passwords in several places for greater reliability - I personally store it in).

I also strongly advise you not to be shy indicate your cell number when registering with Mail.ru-mail, because this will make recovering a lost password a trivial matter (otherwise you will have to fill out the appropriate form for a long time and tediously or write to support - [email protected]), and taking away your account is almost impossible.

If there are compelling arguments not to do this, then you will have to click on the link “I don’t have a mobile phone” and come up with the old fashioned way Secret Question and the answer to it, which, by the way, can easily be broken through if an attacker starts digging into your social networks or other places where you could leave information about yourself.

Again, social engineering (or a simple scam) should not be discounted when by E-mail or in the same social networks they can unobtrusively ask you in an innocent form for the answer to your secret question or slip a fake letter supposedly from a mail service with a link to a fake site that will be exactly like the Mail.ru login form, except for the URL in address bar browser.

The conclusion that follows from this is that you only need to access the website of the mail service using a link from your browser bookmarks or search results.

If you specified your cell phone number at the second registration step, then after clicking the “Register” button, you will receive an SMS on your mobile phone with a confirmation code, which you will need to enter in the window that opens:

After this you will be taken to the page of your newly created mailbox and you will find several messages from the development team there. Actually, that's all. All that remains is to understand the current capabilities of [email protected] and see what can be configured there to make reading and writing letters, opening attachment files and doing other things easier and more convenient.

Login to Mail.ru-mail - folders, inboxes, filters and...

As I have already mentioned more than once, this service has existed for a very long time and many users have accumulated several mailboxes that were created at different times and for different purposes. You can, of course, assign forwarding or collect letters into one from all the others (we’ll talk about this below), so as not to log in and out of your account every time.

However, not so long ago the mountain itself approached Magomed, namely, it appeared multiple entry option to your accounts on Mail.ru. Let's say that first you log into one of your accounts as usual:

Then you can click on the name of your E-mail in the upper right corner of the window and click on “Add mailbox” to carry out entrance to another mailbox of yours:

After successfully logging into your second account, you can now quickly switch between them by simply clicking on your Email (at the top of the window on the right) and selecting the desired option(or logging into another mailbox on Mail.ru):

It turned out to be quite convenient, although it may not be useful to everyone. But now let's talk about the atmosphere itself and...

Their new interface turned out to be quite laconic and not at all overloaded. The left column displays a list of your folders (initially there will be only five of them - Inbox, Sent Items, Drafts, Spam and Trash, but you are free to add as many as you like) and a couple of fairly convenient filters that allow you to show only unread or only flagged messages:

What seemed inconvenient to me was that the “Settings” button is hidden in the “More” drop-down list and I can’t find it right away (although it is duplicated in the right top corner window). When viewing a list of letters in your Inbox (or any other folder), you will see it before the sender's name avatar, or the first letter stylized as it from his name.

Don't you like it? No problem - from the “View” drop-down list, select the “Compact” option and the extra graphics will disappear.

Messages from the list in Mail.ru can be moved between folders using the “Move” button at the bottom and top of the window, or by simply dragging with the mouse while holding down the left button. If you need to move several messages, simply select them with checkboxes. They are first deleted into the Recycle Bin, which can be cleared when you log out of your account, depending on the settings you have made. By the way, there is an opportunity, if necessary, along with all its contents.

It is possible to use Hotkeys. For example, the combination Ctrl keys and the left or right arrow will allow you to move between previous and subsequent letters when viewing them, and Delete key will send the message you are viewing to the Trash.

All modern email services use a spam cutter, and almost everywhere it does not work perfectly - it either lets through spam or classifies perfectly decent letters as spam. The second option, of course, is much more dangerous. In Mail.ru, spam cutting works quite well, but in addition to it there is the possibility of manual filtering.

Mark spam messages with a checkmark in your Inbox or any other folder (except the Spam folder) and click on one of the “This is spam” buttons located at the top or bottom:

It is clear that from time to time you will still have to look through the “Spam” folder for lost letters, and whenever you find them there, do not be lazy to check the box next to each of them and use the “Not Spam” button. In this way, spam cutting will learn and make fewer mistakes when filtering correspondence.

I liked the way email tagging is organized in the new Mail.ru electronic interface. Many people use the unread filter, like on landline phones. mail programs, and in the web interface. But it’s not always possible to quickly make a message read or unread.

Here it is implemented extremely simply - move the mouse cursor to the letter and you will see an outline of an orange circle in front of it, click on which you mark the message as unread(it will be highlighted in bold in the list and will have an orange circle in front of it):

Second fast way to mark letters in Mail.ru mail organized using checkboxes. All unread and flagged messages can be viewed using the appropriate filters located in the left column. Simple, but tasteful.

As I already mentioned, you are free to add as many new folders to your electronic interface as your heart desires. To do this, just click on the “Customize folders” link in the left column under the list of existing ones. As a result, the settings window will open, where you will need to click on the button located at the top "Add folder":

In the window that opens, you can give the folder a name, define its hierarchy (on upper level or embedded in any other existing one), prohibit the removal of mail from it by stationary programs and even set a password for it, which may not be superfluous to increase security or when several people work with one account (for example, a corporate one).

Tepericha about filters in the mailbox from Mail.ru- where would we be without them? Actually, they don’t offer us anything beyond outstanding (either it’s a Gmail thing), but the whole thing is extremely clear upon first acquaintance.

Find “Settings” in the upper right corner of the window and go to the “Filters and forwarding” section. There will be only one “Add filter” button, but from it context menu It will be possible to bring to light the “Create forwarding” option. However, for now we are talking about filters, so we just press the button.

As a result, the filter creation wizard will open, which is quite simple and logical. First you need create conditions, upon fulfillment or non-fulfillment of which (the words “contains” or “does not contain” before the fields with conditions) it will be necessary to take some action. Conditions can be applied to such attributes of letters as the sender (the “from” field), recipient, subject of the message, its size, etc.

When writing conditions in Mail.ru mail, you can use the asterisk symbol “*” to replace any number of characters, as well as the vertical stick sign “|”, which replaces logical operator“or”, allowing you to combine several possible options.

There can be as many conditions as you like, and the action will be performed either when at least one of them is met (the option at the bottom of the screenshot is “if one of the conditions is met”), or when all the conditions are met (the option is “if all the conditions are met”).

Next we should explain to the electronic interface, what action should be taken when “bingo” appears according to the conditions specified just above. The most common option would probably be to move a letter that satisfies the conditions to some folder created specifically for this:

You may want to flag or even delete this email. In addition, you will have the opportunity to forward this correspondence to another electronic mailbox (in fact, this will be a forwarding option, which is not always implemented, but only by condition), and also respond to it with a pre-prepared “stamp” or apply some other one to it. some kind of filter (create a cascade).

It would probably be correct to include the contents of the “Spam” folder in the run through the filters, because messages that are not at all spam can also randomly end up there. On the other hand, you can limit the filtering area separate folder, which can be selected from the drop-down list. Well, then click on the “Save” button and enjoy the work of the created algorithm.

It will appear in the “Filters and forwarding” settings section, where you can quickly turn it on or off as needed. There you can configure and forward emails from your mailbox to Mail.ru to your other email in popular email services. To do this, just select the “Create forwarding” option:

In the window that opens, indicate the Email address where you want to forward all correspondence from this mailbox, and click on “Save”. After this, on your page with filters and forwardings will appear new line, but it will be highlighted in red, meaning that all this equipment is not used until you follow the “Confirm” link and enter the forwarding code sent to your E-mail:

When you confirm everything, your correspondence will be sent directly, immediately after arriving at your Mail.ru mailbox, to the address specified in the forwarding settings.

Other settings and options for email Mail

Although it is not the most sophisticated of all existing ones, some of its capabilities are worth paying attention to. Let me try to put this in the form of a list with a general title - what else is good about email from Mail.ru:

The developers take pride in what they provide dimensionless mailbox, which initially has dimensions of 10 GB. When you fill it up, you will be given another two gigabytes of living space each time.
They also talk about the unlimited size of attachments, but here they are definitely lying, because only files less than 25 MB will be transferred and stored on mail servers, and if this limit is exceeded, attachments will already be stored on the servers of the [email protected] service. This means that after a month they will be deleted, and the size of one attached object still cannot be more than 1 GB.
1. If open email with attachments in the electronic interface of Mail.ru, then at the bottom you will find previews of all attached files; the ability to display them in list or tile form; and also get the opportunity to download each object individually or all together in one archive, which will significantly increase speed and convenience:
  As I already mentioned, when you click on some file types, they can be view directly in the mail web interface without downloading to your computer. This will be true for presentations, office documents (Word, Excel, Power Point), photographs and music.
  If the file is an archive, then the Mail.ru interface will allow you to read the list of objects contained in it, which, if desired, can even be downloaded separately:
2. What’s noteworthy is that all attachment files that have ever been attached to letters can be viewed separately, and if you wish, you can filter only attachments of a certain type by selecting from top menu "Files", and in the left panel selecting their type:
  When you create a message in the mail.ru web interface, then to attach files the corresponding button will be in front of your eyes. Although you can just drag and drop with the mouse necessary files into the browser window. But this is not the main thing.
  From my own experience, I know that most users, when sending photos, don’t really bother with their weight and size, and modern cameras produce simply monstrous resolutions. Most of us do not like or do not know how to use it, even if it allows it.
  This creates inconvenience for users mobile internet and, more importantly, creates increased load, requires big place for storage from the servers of Mail.ru itself. Therefore, thinking first of all about their loved ones, they gave you and me a rather useful, in my opinion, opportunity automatic photo cropping when attaching them to a letter:
  By larger side they will leave 800 pixels, which can reduce the weight of the photo by an order of magnitude without affecting its quality when viewed on a monitor screen. You will only need to decide on pruning once, and in the future it will be done without any questions. Well, another little bonus - when you move the mouse cursor to the attached photo you can turn it, which again will allow you not to bother with photo editors.

There is support in mail from Mail.ru design themes For electronic interface(at the very bottom of the window there is a “Topics” link), which, in fact, is already the norm for this type of service. But there is also the possibility formatting letters using a fairly large set of templates (the “Style” drop-down list in the upper right part of the form for writing a new message). This can be useful when writing congratulatory or other special letters:

A little to the left there is a block of buttons for carrying out the typed text, it or in several other languages that mail.ru-mail supports, as well as for express checking it for errors. It won't be redundant.

All messages and attachments in Mail.ru pass through virus check with the help of Kasperych, and all links included in letters are analyzed for reliability using the WOT service, which I already mentioned in the description.

Some may like the ability to activate and configure free shipping SMS messages to your mobile phone when messages arrive in specific folder your email. All this is connected in the settings (there is a link to them at the top of the window on the right) in the SMS notifications section:

If I'm not mistaken, this system did not previously have correspondence collector from other people's boxes popular services(Gmail, Yandex mail, etc.), but there was only the possibility of sending correspondence to them. So, now such an opportunity has arisen. It is available from the settings in the “Mail from other mailboxes” section:
And finally, I would like to recommend going to the password and security settings to indicate your mobile number, if you haven’t already, or at least enter additional email, which will allow you to quickly recover a lost or stolen password. With static, it will also be possible to bind to this IP:

Good luck to you! See you soon on the pages of the blog site

Which free email service should you choose?

Let's start right away by choosing a free service where you can. And I think you already know about this (and if you don’t know, then use the link). There really aren’t that many options for choosing a mail service, especially if we consider only the major 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 jungle of the new mail interface for you.

However, I want to make a reservation right away. 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, which 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 cannot be identified later by your return address. If you don’t need it, then at least you will know that it is possible and, a priori, there is no need to pay for it.

Let me bring list of the most popular in RuNet Email services :

Gmail(you can log in to your email and register) - Google mail, which I personally have used since its inception (2005). The service is advanced, reliable, secure, with good spam cutting and a sophisticated interface, which is why it is not always possible to master it completely right away. Therefore, I advise you to use my explanations in the article about. You are allocated 15 GB for mail disk space(read).
Yandex Mail(you can log in to your email and register) - a very good product from famous brand in RuNet. The “mail” interface is simple and clear, 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 are allocated for storing messages.
Mail.ru(you will find the inbox folder, and you can create a new email address) - the oldest free email 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. You are provided with as much as 25 GB for free use.
Rambler mail(you can log in and create a new email account) - this service used to compete with the players mentioned above, but Lately he is far behind them in all major indicators. You can read it, but I personally don’t recommend starting a box there. And you will have only 2 GB of free disk space at your disposal.
Outlook.com(“my page” with inboxes is alive, and registering a new email is possible) - previously this “mail” service was called HotMail and was the first to provide ordinary mortals with the opportunity to get at their disposal for free email address. If Hotmail caused a lot of complaints from users, then the completely redesigned Outlut.com was “completely wow” (for details, see the article -). Depending on the situation, you have the opportunity to get from 5 to 25 GB of disk space for free.
Yahoo Mail(login to Email is located, and create new box Can ). Despite the fantastic 1 TB free space, in all other respects it has nothing special to boast about - read about the new interface. It seriously falls short of Gmail, but those who need a lot of space, but don’t need the bells and whistles, can easily get themselves an Email on this service.
- relatively new service, which 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. Proton Mile has free plan, but there is not enough space for mail there 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 logging into mail, which can seriously affect security and affect your general impression from .

Registration and selection of Email address

The registration itself in the above email services is quite similar. However, it is worth paying attention Special attention to the one that you specify when creating an Email box. Why is this so important?

Well, firstly, the login in our case will act as your Email in the future. You will probably be providing it to someone and even dictating 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 box with the name [email protected](), have already passed a long time ago.
The fact is that on every mail service every registered Email is unique and should not be repeated under any circumstances (meaning only for of this host, i.e. ending next after @). If you select a name already used by someone, you will be asked to choose something else (for example, add something like date of birth or age at the end). It’s almost impossible to get a beautiful, concise and easy-to-pronounce email at your disposal now, but it’s still worth striving for.
If you desperately need a beautiful Email, then you can either find some not very popular email service (conceived without any guarantees), where few people register, or link to it as much as you like beautiful names for mailboxes. However, it would be better to connect the mailboxes 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 Domain name like Petrov in the ru zone, but you can look for something suitable (maybe in other domain zones type net, som or regional). Read the article for details -.
Secondly, it is important to also activate all the free ones available on the service Remedies from unauthorized access to your mailbox. Why bother so much if you won’t have “anything like that” stored in your mailboxes, and “who needs your mail” anyway?
You need it, 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 publicly available software) or some slightly more advanced methods. From there, they will automatically pull out all the data from your accounts on social networks, systems, other services of the same brand (for example, Yandex, Google and Mail.ru use one pair of login and password to enter the vast majority of their services), as well as others useful things that can then be sold very profitably to spammers and other “radishes”.
Remember, only one box out of a million hacked ones was broken “on demand”, and all the rest are broken “on the fly”, but after you lose access to your accounts on social networks (without the possibility of restoring them), after the theft of your electronic money() and other troubles for you from the fact that they did not break you specifically, but everyone in a row, will not make it any easier.
Therefore, immediately cut it on your nose - there is never too much security, just as it is never superfluous. If the free email service you use has a new feature that increases security (confirming access to Email via SMS notifications, restricting access by IP, etc.), then don’t be too lazy to figure it all out (at least with the help of the above articles ) and start using it.

Logging into your inbox or how not to log into your email

Actually, I listed the addresses for entering the mail a little higher and it would seem that what else can be said? But there is something to be said, and this will again concern security. The fact is that even the presence the most complex password is not a guarantee of the safety of your postal items. Attackers often use social engineering to achieve your goal. For example, I was scammed in a similar way not long ago - they sent me a letter telling me I had to do it so that it wouldn’t be blocked. I did it and ended up losing some of the funds placed there.

A similar approach can be used to gain access to your Email. (fishing). They throw bait in the form of a cleverly written letter (there is a massive email newsletter, for example, among users of some free email 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 there the login and password from your email that the hacker needs so much. That’s it, after this we are deprived of a heap of everything we need to live in the Internet space.

To prevent the situation described above from becoming a reality for you, you need to clearly fulfill one condition - Login to your email account only from your browser bookmarks, or (at worst) by finding an email service through Yandex or Google. But under no circumstances should you follow links from 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 be a completely different site, although outwardly completely similar to original(). They will rob you of you there and won’t even ask you your name.

The main thing is not to accidentally fall into the bait of phishers (fishermen), who replace the sites you need with their fakes, and without seeing the catch, you tell them your login and password through the login form. This applies not only to logging into Email, but also to any other services that require authorization (entering a login and password).

Therefore, create the appropriate tab in your browser to access your inbox (“my page”) in your chosen Email service. You can also fix browser tabs ( right click on the tab and select “commit”), and even creating a shortcut on the desktop would be a great solution. Just forget about logging into your 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 pages of the blog site

To summarize the above, it must be said that owning mail on Mail.ru is modern, convenient and practical.

Mail.ru is one of the largest and most popular sites in Russian Internet. Anyone can get a mailbox here completely free of charge and use it as much as they want.

In order for you to receive your email, you need to go through a simple procedure called registration. To do this, you first need to open the mail.ru website.

You can simply 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”.

Using it we will register on mail.ru. To complete this procedure, click on the inscription “Registration in mail”.

After this, another page will load - something like a questionnaire. If you fill it out correctly, you will be given an email address.

First you need to enter your first and last name. You can print them in both Russian and English.

Then you need to indicate your birthday. Click on the "Day" field and select a date from the list. Do the same with the month and year.

Just below is the “City” field. You can also select it from the list. Or you can leave it blank - this field is optional.

But you must indicate your gender. To do this, simply click on it so that a dot is placed next to it.

The next field, “Mailbox,” is the most important. This is an email address, that is, the name of the future mailbox (e-mail).

You need to come up with it yourself. This is not a very difficult task, since the system will actively help - suggesting 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 (“-”). There should be no spaces in the address.

Each user is given their own unique name. You cannot choose a name for a mailbox that is already taken by someone. If you created and typed an existing e-mail, the message “A mailbox with the same name already exists” will appear. And the system will suggest 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. Originally it was 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 also 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 that needs 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 email and read letters.

Its length must be at least six characters. It is imperative that the password contains both letters (English only) and numbers.

When printing it, letters and numbers will be typed in dots. This was done on purpose so that no one could snoop 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 out the “Password” field, write it down in a safe place so you don’t accidentally forget it!

After this, the system asks you to provide a mobile phone number. This was done so that if you lose your email password, you can recover it.

The mobile number must be entered with the operator code. For example:

Don't worry, no one will have access to it and not a single ruble will be debited from your account. You will simply receive a confirmation code to this number, which you will need to type in a special field.

If for some reason you do not want to indicate your number (or it simply does not exist), then you can leave this field empty.

Well, finally, all that remains to be done is last step- register. To do this, click on the appropriate button:

If when filling out registration form According to the system, you have made a mistake somewhere; a message will appear in the problem area

This means that you need to retype this part, otherwise Mail will not register your mail.

After clicking on green button“Register” a small window should appear on the screen in which you must enter the code. If, when filling out the form, you indicated your mobile phone, the code will be sent to this number via SMS. And if you did NOT specify a phone number, then the code will be written in the window itself - you just need to print it and click on the “Done” button.

After this, your new email will open. But first, most likely, this window will appear:

These are the email settings. You can select them, or you can not select them - just close this window.

And here’s what the newly created mail.ru mailbox looks like:

Now you can fully use it. 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 the person will need to provide so that he can write you a letter.
