Google mail - login (registration). Registering and creating a mailbox in Gmail

Gmail is one of the most popular mailbox services. It was developed and launched by Google. It is used not only by ordinary users, but also by large companies. Gmail mailboxes are characterized by a pleasant and functional interface and a large number of options. In this article, we'll show you how to set up and start using Google mail.

2 Registering and creating a mailbox in Gmail

Before registering for the service, it is worth making a small lyrical digression. The Gmail.ru domain itself is not the property of Google, having appeared much earlier. Currently, several companies use it to send messages, including SMS, Jabber, ICQ and others. We have to register on Gmail.com. Google's mail service works with all service accounts. If you have a page in the service, then you do not have to register it again.

To start registration, go to the Google page. At the top of the browser, click on the "mailbox" button and start creating your own account. First of all, you need to choose a beautiful and original name. If you are the owner of a company and have a mailbox for it, then you can apply the appropriate name.

If you plan to constantly use your Gmail.com inbox, fill out the form as seriously as possible. It is worth remembering about data security and confidentiality. Google's email service uses a secure connection, but attackers can bypass it too. Because of this, you need to take care of the password strength. A frequently repeated keyword will enable hackers to quickly gain access to your account. This is especially dangerous if Internet banking or an electronic wallet is linked to your mailbox. When hacked, the attacker receives a confirmation code and easily steals your money, transferring it to his account. In order to avoid such incidents, you should consider your password and make it as complex as possible.

Next, let's look at the intricacies of creating a password. It is better to start inventing it on a piece of paper using a phrase. It is imperative to use regular and capital letters, adding various signs to them. If you have difficulty creating a password, you can use a special utility. It will generate several options for you, from which you can choose the most suitable one. The most popular of these utilities is KeePass Password Safe. It's free and easy to use.

Another way to protect against password cracking is to provide a real email address. If you forget your password, you can always recover it. This also applies to cases when intruders gained access to your mailbox. It is recommended to indicate the real mobile phone number, which will also be useful when restoring access. It is also used to complete registration, so you will have to enter it in any case in the very process of creating a Gmail mailbox.

If you specify an additional mailbox, then you can solve the problem with a forgotten password or hacking in just a few minutes. The service will send you a message containing the access restoration confirmation code.

Next, you need to carefully fill in the rest of the items in the registration form. Upon completion of this process, you need to click on the submit web form. Also, you can immediately upload your avatar. On a new page that will open upon completion of registration, you will need to enter your username and password. After that, you can start getting to know the functionality and interface of Gmail.

3 Sign in and get familiar with the Gmail interface

After logging in, which can be done from any search engine service, you have to start working with Gmail. If authorization was successful, you will see your name at the top of the page. Next, click on it and select the "Mail" tab.

Let's take a closer look at the login process:

• Type gmail.com into the search bar and press Enter.
• If you are already authorized in the system, then just follow the first link.
• After you find yourself in your personal mail account, you can proceed to the settings.
• If you are not logged in, you will see a login and password entry window.
• By entering them and clicking on the "Login" button, you will be taken to your personal Gmail account.

Next, we will consider the features of the mail service interface. The top menu bar contains sections with spam (advertising messages) and unsorted messages. Correspondence from social networks is also displayed there. At the top of the panel, you can see a plus sign button, when you click on it, Alerts and Forum will open.

One of the features of Google is the chats built into the mailbox. Users can not only exchange messages in them, but also get in touch via video. This feature is not yet very popular, as Google uses a large number of banner ads in it.

Google's email service works with all browsers, but information can be displayed in different ways. In particular, the interface of the personal account itself may change, but this is not scary for experienced users. If you use modern browsers, then you will see a beautiful page with all active buttons. Older versions use HTML, which will make the pages look slightly out of date. In addition, if the connection is poor, you can enable the lite version without loading bulk objects and pictures in the interface.

The default memory for storing emails and data in your mailbox is 15 gigabytes. You can expand it if you want, but you have to pay for it.

After registration and when you start using your mailbox, you will immediately see two letters. They are informational and are for informational purposes only. Most often, they advertise the social network Google+. If you want, you can delete them or just ignore them.

4 Pros and cons of GMail, security settings

If you have previously used other email services, you can continue to do so even if you have a page in Gmail.com. You are provided with the possibility of correspondence and forwarding. This is convenient in order not to miss a letter to an inactive mailbox. To activate this function, you just need to enter an additional address and open access to it.

You can control your mailbox from Google and from your smartphone. The beauty of using Gmail mail is that it works in social networking mode. This means that if you have Internet access, you will receive notifications about each letter. To do this, you will not need to sync all devices.

The mail program is not yet inferior to the network interface from Google. Gmail.com tries to improve service with every update, but it doesn't always succeed. In particular, notifications are not received in the browser version, which is inconvenient for urgent correspondence. In addition, large files cannot be downloaded. The email program uses the resources of your computer, so you can upload large documents into it.

At the start of the service, he caused a lot of indignation due to the large amount of advertising. In particular, when you work in your personal account, an advertisement constantly pops up in front of you, which is selected by the system for each user, depending on the subject of the letters. If you order a jacket from the store and receive a message from this, then for a long time you will receive advertisements on this topic. Over time, users got used to this, which is why the service began to gain great popularity, constantly supplementing its functionality.

4.1 How is it safe to work with mail?

Whether you are doing business or conducting business correspondence, it is important to remember that your data must be kept safe at all times. It is important to approach the setup as painstakingly as possible. To start working with the security system, click on the gear icon in your personal account.

• To configure login by IP address, click on the "Additional Information" button. There you will find all the data about the entries in the mailbox.
• If you are not very worried about the safety of data, then you can not configure security. At the same time, the password should still be made complex, which will protect your information and account from hacking.
• In Jimile, you can enable authentication in two steps.
• In the settings, you need to click on "Security and Login" and select the appropriate option.
• After that, you will not only have to enter the password, but also dial the access code sent to you in the form of an SMS message.

4.2 Shortcuts (folders) and their configuration in Google mail

Sorting emails on Google is one of the main advantages of the service. You can not only work with entire message folders, but also automatically get rid of spas and advertising messages. Unlike regular services, folders in Gmail have advanced functionality. They can be customized to fit your needs, depending on the purpose of the documents stored in them. It is also possible to make sets of shortcuts displayed together.

Let's look at the process of setting up folders in Google in more detail:

• Go to "Settings" by clicking on the gear.
• Next, you need to go to the second tab in the left menu block.
• After that, uncheck or enable this or that shortcut.
• Next to the list there will be a button for creating a shortcut.
• You can also add multiple attachments to one shortcut at once, creating whole directory trees.

All of your shortcuts will appear in the left column of the menu. To edit folders, simply click on the arrow button. You will be presented with a list of changes available for this or that shortcut.

You can also change the color of the labels. This is very convenient if you work with a large number of documents. You can set a specific color for a group of folders, after which you will quickly find them in the list.

Also you can delete any directory. To do this, simply click on the corresponding button while viewing the list. When you delete correspondence from the "Inbox", they are sent to the archive. This is very convenient as you can easily recover an accidentally erased document. Initially, you might think that such interface features complicate the work, but in reality this is not entirely true. Over time, you will get used to work and will be delighted with the convenience of the Gmail inbox functionality.

You can also configure offline mail filtering. The system will independently select letters from social networks and advertisements, transferring them to the archive.

4.3 Filters in Jimile and a detailed example of their use

Filters are one of the most important features of Gmail. To get started with them, you need to perform a number of sequential actions:

• Go to the menu by clicking on the gear.
• A tab with filters will open in front of you, if they have already been created. You will be able to edit or delete them.
• If there are no filters yet, click on the button to create them.
• In a new window, you can set one or another filter.
• Set the algorithm by which the system will group messages into a particular folder.
• Even if you create the wrong filter, don't worry. The system simply will not understand it, so it will continue to work according to its own algorithm.
• You can select a filter by recipient name, company name, correspondence subject, term, address and other parameters.
• After creating the algorithm, select the final sorting result. Messages of different subjects can be sent to different folders or deleted.
• Advertising messages and spam can be immediately archived.
• You can also create a new algorithm according to which letters from linked mailboxes will also be collected in one folder.

5 Accessibility of Gmail

• You can not only read letters, but also forward them. The service is also configured to automatically send letters to the addressee on their own. To do this, you need to go through authorization for several mailboxes. To receive letters from another address, you also need to confirm it. Otherwise, forwarded messages will be marked as spam or advertising.
• You can also delete correspondence from another mailbox. This filter will be relevant when you receive a large number of mailings. After setting up the offline cleaning of the list of correspondence, it will not be possible to delete it manually.
• You can create a list of email addresses that will not be marked as spam. If you receive an important sales letter, it will simply appear in the Inbox tab. Gmail has algorithms for importance and unimportance, which makes it possible to separate emails according to this criterion.

6 Importing contacts and letters into Gmail, working with old mailboxes via Google mail

A handy feature in Gmail.com is the import of emails and contacts from other mailboxes. If you have other accounts in mail systems, then you should not worry about the safety of your data. You just need to transfer them to a new address using a convenient function.

All correspondence from the old mailbox will be redirected to the new one. You can also move all contacts, notifying them of the new address. You can be sure that not a single letter will be lost. To transfer data, it is enough to perform a simple sequence of actions:

• Go to the "Accounts and Import" tab.
• Next, select the appropriate option and start importing contacts.
• The import wizard will proceed sequentially, informing you about all problems and their solutions.
• Before starting work, it is important to log in to both mailboxes.
• You can decide on the content of the import without transferring all documents and letters.
• After clicking on the "Import" button, it will take about half a minute before the process is complete.

7 Useful settings and Gmail lab

Consider the entire list of Gmail features and settings:

• The language of the web interface. You can choose the required language, from which the translator will also make a start.
• Page size equated to the number of letters. This option is convenient for users who receive a large number of emails. You will be able to display the documents you need on the page.
• Chains of letters. This option allows you to sort messages and create folders and shortcuts.
• Desktop notifications. This feature allows you to receive email notifications even when the browser is closed.
• Keyboard shortcuts. They will allow you to work with correspondence more conveniently.

The Gmail mailbox has a huge number of settings, which makes it different from many counterparts. Thanks to a simple and understandable each interface, you can make your personal account and all services associated with it as convenient and functional as possible.

The Gmail laboratory is the ability to perform certain operations with letters and correspondence. In it, you can customize not only the functionality of your personal account, but also select response templates, a signature for each letter, and much more.

8 Sign in to other Google services

After registering with Google, you can use not only mail, but also other services. The most popular of these are Calendar, YouTube, Search, Maps and others. You can also click "More", after which an additional panel with services will open in front of you. The Google search engine is considered one of the most versatile and convenient because of the presence of everything you need. You may not be able to log in to YouTube again, use cloud storage, or create documents.

Good afternoon, friends and colleagues! Today we are going to talk about email, namely about creating and setting up a gmail mailbox. Let's consider what opportunities Google mail provides us gmail.com and how to use them correctly.

E-mail is a concept so common for us that it’s even strange to say. Nevertheless, I will say a few words. The concept of e-mail appeared in the 60s of the XX century, before the era of personal computers and the Internet: users of large computers using mail programs could exchange messages. Of course, after the advent of the Internet, e-mail immediately began to actively develop and be used.

Until now, despite the emergence of new means and services of communication - mobile phones, numerous instant messengers, social networks - e-mail is a "must have" service for any Internet user. You and I (at least many of my readers) are copywriters, freelancers or bloggers: could we do without email (by the way, it would be interesting to conduct such an experiment)? It is unlikely that it would have succeeded. After all, mail is used by us for the following needs:

I even have a series of video tutorials on organizing my newsletter and email marketing. Here they are - in my school.

As you can see, email remains one of the tools a freelancer needs in his work. In general, I don't think that you need to be convinced of this, so let's move on to an overview of gmail.

Why exactly gmail.com email?

An ordinary user who does not send intelligence data by mail, as a rule, does not need to use the services of paid mail services. Their functionality does not fundamentally differ from the functionality of free counterparts, except for the absence of advertising and declaring the inviolability of correspondence. Therefore, I found it not very useful for my readers to review paid services. Free postal services are well known to everyone:

• Mail.ru
• Yandex.ru
• Hotmail.com (since 2013 trademark changed to Outlook.com)
• Gmail.com
• Mail.com and others

The first two services are well-known and loved in Russia, perhaps I'll write about them too. Hotmail, now MicroSoft's Outlook, is a pioneer in email, and Gmail is the leading free email service today.

What makes free gmail mail different from other mailers? It has many advantages:

• The web interface is user-friendly and provides many useful functions. Using the web interface allows you not to think about the problems of mail synchronization on different devices - you just go to mail from them and work with it.
• Integration with popular Google services
• Working on a secure connection
• Implemented effective protection against spam
• Mailbox - 15 GB
• Ability to work with other mailboxes from the web interface.

Please note that there is a Russian service Gmail.ru on the network:

Oddly enough, he has nothing to do with Gmail.com, although he also deals with email, namely the provision of paid services for forwarding email. This service has been operating since 2003, while gmail was launched by Google in April 2004. Keep in mind this incident and do not confuse it, these are completely different services.

So, let's take a look at the features of working with Gmail in order. Let's start from the beginning - with registration.

Registration at Gmail.com

To be able to create a gmail mail, you need to have a Google account. Go to gmail.com. If you are not registered in Google, you will be transferred to the account registration service Google accounts.google.com and you will see the following picture:

There are no special mail accounts - Google uses a single account to access all of its services. Click "Create an account". We get to the page for filling out the registration form, it also allows you to simultaneously create mail on gmail com:

Let's go over the form fields:

• Name and surname. Your first and last name will be visible in all Google services, so consider whether it will be real data or a pseudonym.
• Username. This is where an "ambush" can lie in wait for you: millions of users around the world have made out all the popular names and words, so you have to show your imagination. The username can contain Latin letters, numbers and dots, the number of characters is from 6 to 30. If the name is taken, the system will offer you free names according to your own weird taste:

You can use the hint or fantasize further.

• Password. At least 8 characters. It is worth recalling the importance of a strong password once again: there should not be any 12345678, qwerty123, there should be no matches with the login. It is desirable that it be a random sequence of letters, numbers and symbols. Of course, the problem immediately appears - how not to forget it? Write it down on a paper notebook. An elementary action that few people do.
• Date of birth, gender - understandable;
• Mobile phone. You can leave it blank, but I advise you to do this - after all, it is with its help that you can recover your password if you do forget it, as well as set up two-step authorization (we'll talk about this a little later).
• Alternate email address. It is also desirable to indicate. It is needed to provide additional security for the account, for example, in case of suspicious activity in the account, a corresponding notification will be sent to it.
• Checkmark and Country - everything is clear here.

Press the button "Go to the Gmail service" and get to the mail web interface. You can also enter the gmail mail by typing the addresses gmail.com, mail.google.com or by clicking on the button located in the upper right corner in any Google service:

To log out of gmail, you need to log out of your account:

Note that you may have multiple Google accounts. Accordingly, there are several mailboxes: it may be easier for you to work from different accounts on different tasks. If you are already registered with Google, then you can use several methods to add another account:

We go to gmail.com:

Now let's start setting up mail. It is worth noting that this task can be divided into two:

1. Account setup
2. Setting up the mail itself

Account setup

Sign up for a free copywriting webinar for beginners - I'll show you how authors make money on the Internet!
SIGN UP

To enter the account settings, you need to click on the letter P in the circle (this is the first letter of your name, so you may have a different one) in the upper right corner:

By clicking on the circle labeled "Change", you can upload your photo. This photo will be visible to all users of Google services, so think carefully before uploading the first picture you see.

By clicking on the "My Account" button, we get to the account settings and data protection page:

A lot, right? Let's not consider everything - we are still talking about mail now, so for now we will pay attention only to the section "Sign in to your Google account" in the "Security and login" tab.

Here you can change the password for logging into your gmail email and, in general, your account. In general, it is recommended that you change your password periodically for security reasons. True, very few people do this. But perhaps you will heed this advice ...

In addition, there is such a "trick" as two-step authentication. What it is? In order to enter your account, you will need to enter passwords twice: your permanent password and a confirmation code, which will be sent via SMS to the phone specified upon connection.

Why are such complications necessary? For example, if your mail (or other Google service) contains important, confidential or any other information not intended for prying eyes, it makes sense to do everything possible to protect it. Is not it?

By connecting two-step identification, you will be able to specify the devices, when entering from which the second step - entering the confirmation code - is not needed. This can be your home laptop, the loss or theft of which is almost impossible, or a work computer - in short, a reliable device:

In addition, you need to set up backup methods for logging into your account - in cases where the phone is unavailable for any reason:

There is one more thing. If you use any applications that access Google services (for example, an email client), then after you have connected two-step verification, these applications will no longer be able to log into your account. To solve this problem, Google has provided the ability to customize app passwords.

To do this, go to your account settings, section "Sign in to your Google account" - there we enabled two-step verification. You will see that one more menu line has been added - "Application Passwords":

We go into this section, select the Google service that you want to access, and the device that needs access:

We enter the received password into the account settings on the desired device - and the problem is solved.

So you can see that 2-Step Verification is a flexible and reliable tool to keep your account secure. In my opinion, a very good solution from Google, what do you think?

The rest of the account settings are your data, settings for actions in services, and so on.

Setting up gmail mail

Now let's go back to Gmail's mail. Let's enter the mailbox using one of the methods discussed above.

This is how the web interface looks like:

You can already start working. Everything is intuitive, there is a big red button "Write" and a list of incoming letters, what else do you need to be happy? By the way, let's click the button and see what the email looks like:

It seems that everything is clear here too. If you click "To" - we will get to the list of contacts, from where you can select the addressee. Our contacts are still empty:

The interface is user-friendly and understandable.

But still, let's see what settings can be made in the web interface to ensure a more comfortable work for ourselves.

First of all, I want incoming mail to be automatically classified and the specified actions performed with it - some letters should be placed in certain folders, others should be forwarded to other addresses, and others should be deleted. Let's dig in that direction and see how Gmail handles inboxes.

The settings button - "Gear" - is located in the upper right corner. Click it and go to the "Settings" menu item:

How much is there ... But there is nothing to do, let's figure it out.

Let's see what methods of grouping and filtering incoming messages.

Sort by category

The simplest way to sort your incoming mail is by category. You may have noticed that the Inbox is divided into sections:

Gmail itself determines which letter corresponds to which category, and places it in the appropriate tab. If the message does not match any of the categories, it remains in the "Unsorted" section. Let's check all the boxes and see what changes:

Yeah, Natalia's welcome letter from Google has moved to the "Alerts" section.

Let's see what else is there.

Go to Gear - Settings - General - Stars:

These are the marks with which you can mark letters. If you have selected a set of four stars - by sequentially clicking on the star icon to the left of the letter header, you can choose how to mark it:

This is another tool for categorizing emails.

Shortcuts

There is a Shortcuts tool for sorting letters. Labels are similar to folders. To manage shortcuts, go to Gear - Settings - Shortcuts:

I have noted the correspondence between the active labels and their display on the left. You see, it's pretty easy to add or subtract items. You can also create shortcuts yourself, moreover, you can create a whole hierarchy of shortcuts:

I created a Job label, then another Job label, placing it under Job. Please note that the nested shortcut does not have the "Show in list" attribute, its visibility can be controlled from the left column by clicking on the icon next to the "Work" shortcut.

The created shortcuts can be deleted - this will not lead to the deletion of the messages to which it is assigned.

By clicking on the arrow that appears when you hover the mouse over the created shortcut, you can get to the context menu:

Here you can select the color of the label, as well as configure other parameters.

We can manually assign a label to a letter, and it will be displayed in the left menu when you click on the corresponding label. Let's put in practice:

Let's take one of the letters sent to us automatically from Google.

We see that now it is marked with the Inbox label. In the top menu there is an item "Labels" with which we can manage the labels of this letter.

Let's assign it "One More Job":

"Another work" I assigned the color blue; now we can observe this letter both in the Inbox and in Another work:

Thus, we can process the inbox and scatter them in different folders: in our example, we put letters from the main job in “Job”, letters from an additional job in “Another job”, you can create labels “Letters from mom”, “Letters from friends "and so on. But you must admit that it is not very convenient to manually "pierce" each incoming letter. Can this work be automated? Of course: filters are used for further work with correspondence.

Filters

What it is? Filters are actions that the mail system performs with letters that match some specified criteria. We get into the filter management through our favorite gear: Settings - Filters and blocked addresses.

Well, let's try to create some kind of mail processing rule?

Click "Create new filter":

You can see the criteria by which mail is sorted. You can fill in one field, you can fill in several - then there will be a complex condition. In this example, I want to make a filter that sends incoming emails containing the words "Work urgently" to the "Work" folder.

Let's mark two checkboxes: skip incoming - this means that a letter that meets the specified conditions will not be displayed in the Inbox folder, and apply a shortcut - indicate which one. As a result of the filter triggering, letters in which I am asked to "work urgently" should end up in the "Work" folder, bypassing the "Inbox".

Let's see in this tab what other actions can be performed with correspondence:

The filter is created:

Let's try to check how it works. Let's send a letter from another address with the code words:

Everything worked out. There is no letter in the Inbox, it immediately moved to Work. We have mastered another convenient Gmail tool.

Email Gmail definitely strives to become everything for its user: in the web interface, you can import contacts and all the accumulated mail from other email addresses, you can "bind" these addresses to the web interface and use them.

Let's see how quickly and conveniently all this is implemented in practice. Our usual Cogwheel - Settings - Accounts and imports:

Let's see what opportunities this tab provides us.

• Change account settings - everything seems to be clear here.
• Import of mail and contacts. Well, let's try:

We enter the email address, I took my mail to mail.ru.

We indicate what exactly we want to import - let everything be to the maximum.

And we are waiting. Yes, not a quick process, but everything happens automatically. By the way, it took me only a few minutes. Let's see what my mail looks like now:

Let's see what's going on in Contacts - they should have loaded too.

Contacts are located in the upper left corner:

We go to Contacts and see:

Yes, all my addressees are here. Great, everything works. Moving on.

• Send mail as: at this point we choose from which mailbox our letters will be sent by default. By the way, the imported box has already been added:

You can add more mailboxes by confirming with a password that they are yours.

• Receive mail from other accounts. What is the difference between this function and what we just did? With the help of import, GMail picks up existing messages and contacts, and also sends new ones within a month - so that you can send notifications to your addressees about switching to a new mail, i.e. you seem to have decided to abandon the old mailboxes and completely move to Gmail. Receiving mail from other accounts implies that you are not abandoning them, you just work now exclusively in the Gmail web interface.

How to connect receiving mail from other accounts? There are two ways:

1. receive old mail and connect to receive new one;
2. configure only to receive new mail.

To receive all messages, you need to do the following:

If you want to configure the receipt of messages from a third-party mail service - check that access via the POP3 protocol is enabled in it, but if from another Google account - go to that account in the Gear menu - Settings - Forwarding and POP / IMAP and activate the "Enable POP for all emails ":

After that, go back to your current account and add the required mail account in the "Accounts and Import" tab.

The second way is to receive only new letters. To do this, you need to set up forwarding: in a third-party mail service - it depends on the settings of the corresponding service, in another Google account through Gear - Settings - Forwarding and POP / IMAP, click "Add forwarding address" and specify your new address.

So, back to the Accounts and Import section. We have come to the point

• Using Gmail for work?

Google offers to connect business applications that help in business, of course, for an additional fee. These are corporate mail, additional GB in the cloud storage, the ability to share, and so on. I will not dwell on these applications, I will just mention that there are business solutions.

Next option:

• Grant access to your account

You can give another Gmail user the ability to read, send, and delete mail on your behalf. In the event that a representative sends a letter on your behalf, the sender's address will indicate that the letter was sent by the representative. Such a function can be convenient in some cases - for example, when a secretary is in charge of the manager's mail, or when an employee leaves on vacation.

Well, the last thing we see on the Accounts and Import tab:

• Increase mailbox volume

By default, when registering an account, a new Google user is provided with a mailbox volume of 15 GB. It should be borne in mind that this disk space is actually used not only for storing mail, but also for files that you post to Google Drive and Google Photos. It is clear that 15 GB may not be enough, in which case, for an additional fee, you can expand this space:

• 100 GB - 139 rubles / month
• 1 TB - 699 rub / month
• 10 TB - 6990 rub. / Month
• 30 TB - 20990 rub. / Month

Various Gmail features

Let's take a look at some of the features of mail that we didn't discuss in the previous sections.

In the lower right corner of the screen in the web interface, we can see some icons:

This is Google's Hangouts messenger program, which is quite widely used on smartphones, but also has an interface for computers. What this messenger allows:

• Create group chats;
• Arrange video conferencing;
• Make phone calls;
• Send SMS;
• Share media content.

If you are not going to use all these functions (something tells me that most likely you are not going to), you can turn off the Hangouts display: Gear - Settings - Chat - Turn off chat.

A convenient innovation from Gmail: messages with the same subject are grouped into threads, where the new message is displayed above the previous ones. Well thought out, isn't it? You can take a look at the entire correspondence at once, without setting any additional grouping conditions. By default, grouping of messages into threads is enabled; but if this function does not suit you with something, you can disable it in Settings: General - Disable.

In the general tab, you can also set the page size - how many threads to display on one page and how many contacts. We have already seen the contacts, in principle, working with them is not difficult.

Settings - General: various functions

Since we are in the General section of the settings, let's see what else interesting you can see in it from what we did not cover earlier.

• Images

By default, pictures received in messages are shown immediately; if your internet connection is slow, you can enable the "Ask if you want to show an image" function.

• Default text style

You can customize the font with which you write letters.

This function can be useful if you need to track the arrival of messages. Works for Google Chrome, Firefox and Safari browsers.

• Keyboard shortcuts

If you don't want to poke your mouse around the screen, but prefer to work with the keyboard, you can enable keyboard shortcuts and manage your mail: navigate through sections, sort and delete letters, and so on.

• Button Labels

This refers to the buttons located in the top menu when opening a letter:

The default is icons. If we change the value to "text", the picture will look like this:

• Signature

It is sometimes necessary to automatically add your signature in letters, especially for business correspondence. Of course, Gmail gives this opportunity to its users:

Another useful feature for business people is an answering machine. If you are absent from the workplace - went on vacation, on a business trip, just went to the astral - turn on an autoresponder for the duration of your absence, which will answer incoming messages with a template letter. If a person does not believe that you are not there and writes over and over again, the answer will be only once every four days. There will be no auto-reply for messages identified as spam and mailing. When you return, do not forget to turn off your answering machine.

We've gone over the most interesting options from the General settings section. What else do we have in the settings lacking attention? Sections Laboratory, Offline and Themes.

Gmail is testing a variety of features that have not yet been implemented in the work of mail, in the "Lab" section of the settings. The section is constantly updated: something is put into operation, something is removed, new developments are added, so I will not describe the functions that are available in the Laboratory at the time of writing the review. You can go to this section and see what is there, read the descriptions and, if you wish, add your favorite function to your mail. For example, let's include a feature that adds a viewport to the right and bottom of posts:

We save the changes. Before using the function, the inbox looked like this:

Now, next to the language selection icon, an additional button has appeared, by pressing which you can select the message viewing mode.

Look, experiment - an exciting experience, in fact. Really, Google came up with a good idea?

Offline

Here it is proposed to install the Gmail Offline application, which does not require an Internet connection to work. The program has a familiar Gmail interface. All messages on which any actions have been taken in this application, when connected to the Internet, will be synchronized with your account.

Themes

In this section (you can also get into it from the Gear menu - Themes), you can choose an option for designing your mail:

Let's take a theme and see how it looks like:

Perhaps I will return to the traditional design ... But you understand that this is only a matter of your taste. You can choose a texture, change the background or use your own photo. In general, create with Gmail!

A little about security

There is one invisible, but useful "feature" in the settings. At the bottom of the settings page, regardless of which section is open, there is a link Additional information:

We press it and see the sign:

What it is? These are the last actions in your account: when, from which IP-address, from which device or browser any gestures were made. If you see in the Type of Access column a browser that you do not have, or a POP3 server despite the fact that you do not use an email client, then the unpleasant conclusion is quite likely: you have been hacked ... To prevent this from happening, do not neglect the security measures that we are talking about said above.

Gear: interface settings

In Gear, you can change the look of the interface.

Spacious (the one we worked in):

Compact:

Choose how it will be more convenient for you to work. Another trifle - but nice.

How to delete gmail mail

It may happen that you no longer need your Gmail inbox and need to delete it. How to do it? There are two ways to go:

1. Delete only mail, leaving account
2. Delete account

Go to your account settings:

In your account settings, select Disable services and delete your account:

In the window that opens, select the "Delete services" item, the following window will open:

If you are sure that you do not need mail with all its contents, click on the trash can icon; if you want to save something, download the data. Still, I advise you to download the data before deleting Gmail: what if there is something valuable left in the mail that you need immediately after deleting it?

We only delete mail, so we mark the All Mail icon:

The saved data in the form of an archive can either be received by mail or uploaded to the cloud storage - you can specify which one.

The archive can take a long time to create: several hours or days. If you chose the method of obtaining By link - wait for the formation of the archive, because the link to it will come to the same address that you are going to delete. You will need to go to the gmail and make sure you receive such a letter:

Well, let's download the archive:

Press the "Download" button - and you get the archive on your computer.

Now let's get back to deleting mail. Do you remember: Icon with your initial or photo - My account - Account settings - Service settings and account deletion - Delete services. We send GMail to the basket.

You need to enter your email address and follow the link that will be in the letter sent to this address. And please note: you cannot enter the address that you indicated as a backup when registering an account. So we enter an address that has nothing to do with Google and we get a "letter of happiness":

Follow the link, go to your account, read the "last Chinese warning", confirm - and that's it, we don't have Google mail. At the same time, the account remained intact, while the address that we indicated above is now tied to the account.

However, it is possible to restore the mailbox - and if you deleted it recently, letters may also be saved. To do this, go to the Mail service:

You will be prompted to add the deleted mail to your account:

Check the data, click "Send":

Receive a confirmation code, enter it in the form - and the mail is again at your disposal! You can now go to the gmail mail and check if everything is preserved.

Account deleting

The second way is to delete the entire account. Keep in mind that when you delete your account, you lose access not only to mail, but also to all data associated with it: to documents in the cloud storage, photos, and so on. Therefore, approach this action responsibly, restoring gmail and the entire account in case you change your mind is quite time consuming, and sometimes impossible.

We go to the icon with your initial or photo - My account - Account settings - Services settings and account deletion, and there you select "Delete account and data":

Read it, then Google will write to you. This is really important information to look out for:

Important information

Download the data - we talked about this above. If you have weighed everything and are confident in your decision - well, check the boxes and click the Delete account button.

If you managed to delete your account by accident, then there is a chance to get everything back:

Click "Try to restore it". We will be asked to enter a password, if everything is fine with the password, the account will be restored. But if you don't remember him? Click "Another question", and a one-time code will be sent to the backup address. If this address is not available for some reason, click on "Another question" again, and you will be asked about the month and year of the account creation. If you don't answer this question either, Google will offer the following:

If this option does not suit you and you click on "Another question":

Like this. And remember that you can restore your account no later than within two to three weeks after deleting it, so I urge you to weigh everything carefully.

Conclusion

Email gmail.com is a great tool for working with messages both as a personal mailbox and corporate mail. A user-friendly web interface allows users to solve any problem in general, it can be customized for themselves and perform the necessary operations with mail. It is not difficult to create and use gmail mail: I hope you are convinced of this.

Perhaps I have not considered some of the functions and "chips" of Gmail - tell us what was left "behind the scenes" in my review? Which box do I use myself?

By the way, can you tell me how I ran with a hose on a combat deployment in a volunteer fire brigade?

Hello dear readers of the blog site. Today I want to talk about a free service email Gmail.com... The main feature of this mailbox is an amazingly convenient and functional web interface.

It is, perhaps, in no way inferior to stationary mail programs, but at the same time it will be accessible from absolutely any device capable of accessing the Internet. Therefore, using the Gmail box, you can safely forget about such a thing as synchronization.

Besides, Google mail has one of the best (if not the best) spam cutters in the world (it is because of it that I collect correspondence in this box with, and other services do not fight spam in any way), allows you to automatically sort correspondence in dozens of different ways, mark letters, import them, etc. from any, and also knows how to shoot and send correspondence from dozens of mailboxes you already have, and even so that your opponent will not suspect a substitution.

Plus, work over a secure protocol and warnings about access to your mailbox from other IP - which could be cooler. Probably nothing, so in this article I will try to disassemble Gmail by the bones and show all its capabilities with examples. Don't switch.

By the way, recently it came out on top in the world, overtaking another popular postal service called. However, in Russia it is the undisputed leader, although it does not have any outstanding functionality (it just appeared earlier).

Registering and creating a mailbox in Gmail

Let's start with the banal registration of the mailbox on Gmail, which needs some comments. Distinguish between addresses Gmail.com and Gmail.ru... Historically, the s.ru service at the end appeared before the Jimile mail service, and Google could not get this domain (although, last year, it seems that they came out as well). For example, ten years ago I almost bought into this incident, because gmail.ru also had a free mail service.

How to create a Google Mile account

Actually, getting a mailbox is a nice bonus when creating an account. If you are now go to Jimale's page not having an account in Google, then you will be offered to correct this misunderstanding:

By pressing the button "Create an account", you will be taken to a page with a web form, which will need to be filled out very carefully. Due to the huge popularity of Gmail, it is quite difficult on it, but nevertheless, by showing imagination, it will be possible to find something suitable.

For example, you can insert dots in the name, which means it is permissible to use the domain name of your site, which is likely to be unoccupied:

Please note that the accuracy of the information you provide must correspond to the tasks that you will assign to this particular mailbox. Of course, Gmail.com mail is very well protected from hacking (work is carried out through the encrypted https protocol), but no one canceled the human factor.

For example, the simplicity of the password I once invented for my mailbox on gmail became the reason for its hacking and the subsequent theft of money from my own electronic wallet in the WebMoney system. I registered this email in time immemorial, when I did not even think about it, so I chose a surprisingly complex QWERTY password. Now, which gives a certain amount of peace.

You also need to understand that an unrealistic alternative E-mail address or phone can play a cruel joke with you, because they could help you restore access to your account in case of a password loss or mailbox hacking by different Mr.

In an SMS message to the mobile phone specified during registration, you will receive a confirmation code, which will need to be entered to complete the registration (unfortunately, you will not be able to create a jmail.com account without a phone).

Then fill in all the fields, click on the "I Accept" button to agree to the terms of the box and send the data. You will be prompted to scroll through the small slider "Course of a young fighter from G. Mile", well, at the last step, a button will appear to enter the web interface for managing your mailbox - "Go to Gmail".

Login and familiarity with the Jimale interface

If you already have a Google account, then in the mail you you can always enter from any page of any Google service, I simply clicked on the button next to my name in the upper right corner:

Well, or simply by typing in the address bar of your browser gmail.com and clicking on Enter.

Jimail Mail interface quite understandable and familiar (it has not undergone significant changes for quite a long time, which, in my opinion, is buzzing, because there is no need to solve the next puzzle on the topic - "where is it now?"):

Already appeared quite a long time ago division of correspondence to Unsorted, Social Networks and Promotions (above the inbox). If you click on the plus sign next to it, you can also add "Alerts" and "Forums".

If you don't need this sorting (like me), then just uncheck the unnecessary checkboxes in the "Inbox" tab in the settings (the six in the upper right corner - "Settings"):

When you first enter the G-Mile, you will be immediately shown that, although your account has been created, there is still something to add and configure to it. In particular, you will be offered to promptly configure the import of mail from mailboxes you already have (both in G-mail and in other similar services). We will talk about this in detail below.

You will also be prompted to quickly add a photo to your account and, if you wish, choose a different design theme. You can really do this right now, because everything is realized literally in two clicks (don't get lost).

A new mail interface is already available in Google Mail for everyone.

Recently, Google Mail has been actively promoting its new interface... You can try it by clicking on the settings button (gear in the upper right corner) and selecting the first item "Try the new version of G-mail".

It is still under testing and is not used by default. There are not many striking differences, but you still have to get used to.

If you wish, you can go back to the old interface, and you can also configure the arrangement of letters in the new Gmail by clicking on the "Interface" button in the drop-down menu of settings. Three options are offered, differing from each other mainly between compactness and clarity:

I have still remained on the old interface (and I will show everything by its example), but you are free to choose yourself (I think that you will understand my screenshots by analogy).

When the web interface of the mailbox is loaded, your browser is checked to see if it supports all this beauty, and if a discrepancy is found, the good old Html version will be loaded. Although you yourself, in the event of a long loading of the new frame, you can switch to the retro interface:

By default, you are offered a mailbox about 15 GB in size(true, this is not only for one mail, but also for yours, and), but if you wish, for a fee, you can increase this limit.

Those few letters that will already be present in your inbox tell about some of the features of Gmail (for example, importing contacts and letters from any email service you previously used) and about the delights.

Pros and cons of GMail, security settings

What is remarkable, by registering a mailbox on Gmail, you are not obliged to give up all the others that you received during your long life on the Internet. It is possible to configure the reception and sending of mail to them from the Google mail interface. This is very convenient, and I have been using it for a long time and successfully (we will talk in more detail about the necessary settings a little below).

Gmail is an online service that is not inferior to the convenience of email programs

Also, one of the messages that came by default will talk about the convenience of using Gmail on mobile phones using a proprietary application. Generally, using to work with mail exactly the web interface, and not a desktop program, has one huge plus - you no longer need to synchronize your various email programs on different devices (stationary PC, laptop, phone, tablet, etc.).

The web interface will be an excellent universal solution, but only if it allows you to implement all those goodies that are abundant in programs for working with e-mail. And, of course, Google is striving with all its might, together with its wonderful Jimail, to become this ideal option, and, frankly, they do it very well.

At the beginning of its journey, Google Mail found itself in the epicenter of a scandal precisely because of the ads with contextual advertising that appeared (by the way, you can have your own website) and not because of the irritation caused by its display. No. It's just that the subject matter of contextual ads in its ideology corresponds to the text that takes place in this message. This meant that the system reads our letters, which caused a storm of indignation.

But over time, all those goodies that Google tossed to users of its free email outweighed the negativity from invading their personal space. In short, we were bought. Sometimes it still comes to mind that this corporation is gradually becoming an "empire of good", and, moreover, how beautiful it all began (read in my presentation). However, back to our rams.

Let's talk now for security of working with your mailbox... I advise you to immediately get into the settings for this purpose (find the gear in the upper right area and select the Settings item from its context menu):

Immediately notice the link located in the footer (bottom) of the Gmail web interface called "More Information". There you can track or configure notification of suspicious calls to your mailbox.

Protecting the entrance to your Jimail mail

If the data stored or received in your mail account is of extreme importance, then you can sacrifice the simplicity of working with the mailbox and set it up (using a password and a confirmation code sent to your mobile phone). You can do this on the page " Security and Login"of your Google account:

There is never too much safety and the main thing is to take care of it before, and not after the thunder has struck (learn from my mistakes). Well, I will nevertheless briefly describe all the possibilities that this double security system provides. So, Gmail two-step authentication allows you to do the following:

Passwords for applications to access your mail from any device

If you use any applications to read e-mail on your desktop computer or mobile phone (tablet), then after activating two-step authentication, these same applications will not be able to access your mailbox. What to do?

There is a way out and it is quite simple. You will need in the area "Application passwords"(see screenshot above - located on the Security & Login page) click on the spoiler. The page that opens will list applications that already have access to your GMail mail account (by the way, you can disable them if necessary).

And at the very bottom it will be possible to set a password for any application to access Jimail's mail (no matter whether it is mobile or stationary, for example, an email client).

First, select the Google application from the drop-down list, which you want to enter (mail, YouTube or other), then from the second list select the device from which you want to log in, and click on the "Create" button. As a result, you will receive a password for this application and instructions for its use:

All you have to do is go to the settings of the mobile or stationary application to change the Gmail access password there to the one just generated.

In my opinion, everything is very simple and convenient. Personally, I am very happy about this opportunity. maximally secure your mailbox from the encroachments of all kinds of radishes seeking to steal money, websites and other material and virtual values. Respect to the developers for this business.

Well, okay, now let's deal with the Jimale mail chips and the settings of this miracle of programming thought for ourselves and our habits.

Labels (folders) and their setting in Gmail

For sorting correspondence in Gmail are used labels and filters... The latter allow you to automatically scatter letters in different folders (shortcuts) according to specified criteria. The shortcut is, in fact, very close to the familiar concept of a folder, but it has wider possibilities. By default, Google offers you a specific set of shortcuts and folders, which are located in the left column. But we are free to customize everything to suit our needs.

How to create a shortcut in Google Mail

First, you will probably need to go to the settings (Gear - Settings) and on the second tab, by activating "yes" or "no", configure the display of the left menu items (some shortcuts can not only be disabled, but also deleted).

There will also be an opportunity to create a new one using the appropriate button. Create shortcut in Gmail You can also when viewing a letter (from the context menu of the icon called "Shortcuts" on the top panel):

In general, I don’t really understand these icons, so for more information and clarity, you can check the box next to the “Text” option in the settings on the “General” tab in the “Button labels” area.

After that, instead of the mysterious icons on the top panel of G-Mail, understandable inscriptions will flaunt:

As you can see, from the above screenshot, in fact, even the Inbox folder is a shortcut. In Gmail, shortcuts can be nested (previously, this required installing an add-on from the Laboratory), which gives even more opportunities for targeting cimus.

How to customize the look and use shortcuts

The created shortcuts should be observed in the left menu(additional directories with the names of shortcuts will appear), and their configuration or deletion is easy to accomplish by clicking on the arrow button that appears on the right (the left arrow opens the list of nested shortcuts, if any) when you hover the mouse cursor over any of them in your mailbox:

A context menu will open, where you will be prompted to choose a color for this shortcut, as well as make a number of additional settings:

Now, after assigning a unique color, when viewing incoming messages in Jimail, you can very easily see what tags they are marked with.

Although, in my opinion, in filters it is best to configure automatic deletion of messages from the inbox if they meet any condition for moving under the label (there is no need to clutter up the inbox - there will only be unfiltered messages):

When viewing this letter, you will also have the opportunity, if necessary, to delete unnecessary labels with a cross:

Removing an Inbox shortcut sends a letter to the archive, but it will still be available in other shortcuts it has (folders, in other words). And, of course, in the folder "All mail" you can always find them safe and sound. Okay, at first this is difficult to understand, but you can imagine all this shamanism as creating the folders you need in the future. There is a possibility if necessary, but this is a last resort.

It is clear that when reading messages you can manually assign them to one or another shortcut (in other words, put them in folders) using the button of the same name located at the top and its context menu. In fact, in this way, you can manually scatter letters from your mailbox to Jimail according to the folders you need and previously created. However, this is a dreary business and, if possible, I would like to automate the routine.

Filters in Jimile and a detailed example of their use

How to do it? With a second tool codenamed Google Mail filters... These miracle filters are available in the settings (from the gear menu) on the corresponding tab. There you will contemplate the filters you have already created (if any) and a link that allows you to create a new impeccable piece of unbreakable logic (called - Create a new filter).

In the window that opens, you need to enable logic and try to set an unambiguous algorithm by which Gmail will filter the correspondence you need. If someone has used desktop mail programs before, then there will be no problems with this.

If the filter doesn't work, you can always tweak it. You can filter, for example, by the subject of the letter, by specific terms found in it, by the address of the sender or recipient (if the message is forwarded to Jimail mail from your other mailbox).

At the next step, the wizard for creating a filter will offer you to assign the fate of those unfortunate letters that will be filtered in accordance with the algorithm you specified. For the above example with filtering mailings that came from the left mailbox, you need to check the boxes in accordance with the screenshot:

Let's let's look at an example of this Gmail filter:

Everything. Create a filter, test it for aptitude, fix bugs and enjoy cleanliness and order in your correspondence on the most wonderful web-based email client.

Import of addresses and letters into Gmail, collection of mail from other mailboxes

Now let's suppose that my agitation for Soviet power took effect and you were imbued with the idea moving to Gmail with all its belongings, i.e. with accumulated contacts and tons of emails. It will not be so difficult to do this, although not very quickly (even with limitless Google capacities, the transfer of an array of correspondence can take up to two days). However, all this will be done automatically, and you only need a little patience in making the necessary settings.

In addition to, in fact, a complete move with all the property to Jimale, this e-mail service will allow you to use all your mailboxes accumulated over a long time, and your opponents who will send messages to them will not even notice that you are no longer there live (replies to their letters will come with the same return address to which they wrote). It's actually a great thing that also works great.

Importing contacts to Jmail from your other mailboxes

All settings are made on the tab "Accounts and imports"... In the "Import mail and contacts" area, you need to click on the link shown in the screenshot:

Import from a huge number of postal services is supported, the list of which you can see on this page. In the first step, the wizard will ask you where Google will pick up contacts and messages, and in the second step you will be asked to enter the password for that mailbox.

After clicking the "Import" button, you will be notified that this is not a quick case. You can make sure that the process is complete in the Google mail settings according to the path indicated in the screenshot:

You can teach Google to drag chestnuts out of the fire (letters to Gmail from your other mail services), but the collection will be carried out not in real time, but occasionally with an interval of one hour. If it is the speed of collecting correspondence that is critical for you, then it is better do the opposite- go to the settings of those same third-party accounts and add to them the forwarding of all mail to Google.

Forwarding mail from other mailboxes to Jemile

Well, and probably also worth mentioning that in the Gmail settings on the tab Forwarding and POP / IMAP you can set the forwarding from your new Google mailbox of all incoming correspondence to your current main mail account.

And if you are used to using a desktop program to work with mail, you can, if necessary, disable the POP protocol and enable a more advanced IMAP to retrieve correspondence and read it on your computer.

Useful settings and Gmail lab

Among all the possible Gmail settings (Gear - Settings), we have not considered the "chat" tabs (which I do not use and do not know what to say about them), as well as the settings for enabling the smart mode of separating incoming messages into important and unimportant ones on the Inbox tab ", Well, the tab "Themes", where you can pull the skin that is most pleasing to your eye on the web interface:

By and large, there is nothing interesting there.

Let's see if we have anything left out of focus on the "General" tab of the Jimale settings:

1. Interface language - well, there's nothing to talk about.
2. The maximum page size is the number of letters (chains, which, by the way, are an amazing invention of Google - all correspondence with the same user comes down to one chain, where you can recall the essence of the matter) and contacts (available from the drop-down list of the Gmail button located above the left list - I advise you to add photos to all your contacts in the settings or for chic).
3. Chains of letters - you can turn off the wonderful function described just above, but, I assure you, not worth it.
4. Keyboard shortcuts are disabled by default, but it is possible that permanent work with mail will become more convenient when you activate it. The list of hotkeys can be seen on this page.
5. Desktop notifications - if you are working with Gmail from under Chrome, you can enable this function, and when fresh messages arrive, a pop-up window with information about this extraordinary event will appear in the lower right area of ​​the screen.
6. Signature - if you don’t want to write at the end “Sincerely, Dmitry Petrovich!” Every time, then just fill it in once in the general settings and this template will be automatically inserted into all letters you send.
7. Autoresponder - you probably received in response to your letters an almost instant response with general words (I am not here now, but I will definitely answer). This is the answering machine. These things just piss me off.

All other settings either have already been discussed by us above, or do not deserve to say something else about them. So, trifles, which, however, may seem useful to someone.

Lab and Advanced Settings at Jmail

Let's move on to the not yet touched upon, but nevertheless, probably the most interesting tab of Settings - Laboratory.

True, it is only present in the settings of the old interface, and in the new one a tab is placed instead. "Advanced"... Some of what could have been included in Labs is now available there (in a new interface).

But in the new interface there is still an opportunity on the "General" tab to put a tick in the "Enable access to experimental functions" field and after saving the settings, they, in theory, should appear on this very "General" tab. But I have not noticed any changes from the installation of this checkbox yet.

In general, Google mail was born in 2004 and was in beta stage right up to 2009. During this time, "Laboratory" has caught on and has become the main source of innovation in this by far the best online mail client.

I have repeatedly observed that additions from the "Lab" over time took place in the main settings. Apparently, Gmail, thus, rolls around new chips and makes a verdict on their implementation based on the collected statistics of their popularity (this is like a test browser, in which successful developments are then introduced into the main project -). Well done, what can I say.

But let's see what is interesting now being tested in the "laboratory", although if you read this article after a while, you will not find much there. I will only consider what I use in my account (please do not kick too much for this). So, what are the useful little things you can screw it to your inbox on Gmail.com:

1. Unread message icon- a small but pleasant trifle. After activating this function, in the tab of your browser where Google mail is open, the number of newly arrived messages will be displayed. Probably, it will not be superfluous.
   
   

View area- this cartoon seemed to me extremely convenient, because I am slowly switching to Gmail from the mail client integrated into the Opera, where everything is organized exactly that way. Now the window for viewing the list of messages can be pressed and the contents of the selected message can be viewed in the vacated area. Conveniently.

Google is the largest search engine with over 40 billion queries per month. The main difference between the most easy-to-use and accessible system is the presence of numerous interconnected and constantly evolving services.

One of the most popular is gmail.com mail - entering Google mail opens up the widest possibilities of its functionality to users. It is not surprising that today Google mail has overtaken many of the most famous mail services in the world in popularity.

Why gmail?

It would seem, how can a search engine mailbox differ from stationary services? But the capabilities of gmail.com are capable of surprising many "advanced" users. In addition to the usual functions of collecting correspondence, the ability to mark and distribute it to thematic folders, gmail mail offers a lot of other "usefulness":

• An excellent filtering system allows you to automatically sort letters by dozens of criteria.
• Import a list of contacts from other mailboxes.
• Thanks to reliable protection against spam of Google mail, many people prefer to collect correspondence from other services in this box.
• Access to mail is possible from any device connected to the Internet.
• Unlimited use of all search engine products without separate registration.
• Providing 15 GB of free storage for photos, letters, documents, and more.
• The ability to create corporate addresses, receive round-the-clock support, organize free video conferencing.
• Provided for the use of a secure protocol, receiving a warning from gmail mail, which is logged in from an unfamiliar IP address.

How can you get access to all these delights, properly set up your mailbox?

Creating a gmail box is as easy as possible

Registration in the service is trivial, but it has some nuances. First, do not confuse it with gmail ru, which has nothing to do with Google. In general, getting a gmail com mailing address is a bonus for users who create an account in the system. If there is none, it is enough to go to the page of the mail service gmail.com mail - entering Google mail will be accompanied by a proposal to correct this "flaw":

1. After clicking "Create an account" you will see a web form where you need to carefully fill in the fields.
2. To begin with, identification data is entered: first and last name, information about gender and date of birth, phone number, alternative mail address, country. The main snag at this stage is to come up with a login, because this is how your future mailbox will be called, and a reliable password. Google mail is very popular, so you have to use your imagination to come up with a simple, unoccupied name. The same goes for the password. Although gmail mail is highly secure, a simple combination may not keep your mailbox from being hacked.
3. Now you can attach your photo, select the interface language.

It is recommended that you enter real information. The phone number and address of the additional mailbox will help you easily restore access in the future if you lose your password or hacked mail. Upon completion of registration, an email with a code will be sent to the alternate mailbox to resolve possible problems with the login.

If you have gmail.com mail, you can easily enter Google mail from all services of the system by pressing the button located in the top menu next to the username. Also, when you enter gmail in the browser, the entrance to your mail will be available.

Login to Gmail.com mail

If you have gmail.com mail, you can easily enter Google mail from all services of the system by pressing the button located in the top menu next to the username. Also, when you enter gmail in the browser, the entrance to your mail will be available. Using a mailbox is possible from any device.

Go to mail from computer

• Go to the service page, enter the name and password that you provided when creating your Google account. If you wish, you can log in with a different username.
• Click "Login" at the top right of the page if you see a listing of mail services when you login.

Go to Google mail from Android

To use mail, add your account and update the gmail app if it's not up to date.

• Log in to the application and in the drop-down menu (three horizontal stripes with an arrow) select "Add account".
• Here you will need to enter the type of the new account and follow all the steps according to the instructions.

Login to Gmail with iOS

To access mail, you need to add one or more accounts.

• After logging into the application, select your account from the menu with the three-stripe icon. If you are using an iPad, this step is skipped.

Acquaintance with the interface and settings of google mail

When you have a mailbox on gmail.com mail, entering Google mail will allow you to very quickly set up the necessary functions. Let's start with the interface. He is familiar, as clear as possible and does not change for a long time. Convenient tools include:

• Separation of letters by appointment. You can distribute correspondence related to social networks, forums, alerts, or leave it in an unsorted folder.
• The ability to organize Skype-like videos and regular chats. If your browser does not support it, which is automatically checked, the standard Html version will be loaded.
• 15GB storage is provided by default, but can be expanded for a small fee.

What is noteworthy, if you have registered for gmail.com mail, entering Google mail does not at all cancel the use of other mailboxes. It is very easy to set up forwarding of correspondence to a new address in any other mail service. You can familiarize yourself with the basic features offered by gmail com, such as transferring the list of contacts and correspondence from third-party mailboxes or about the search engine's social network, in the letters sent to your address immediately after registration.

Google mail sorting settings

To sort letters conveniently and quickly, gmail mail offers effective tools:

• Labels. They are functionally similar to the folders familiar to everyone, but differ in wider possibilities. Initially, you will see a minimal set located on the left side of the page, which is expandable and customizable for your purposes.
• To get started, go to the "Settings" tab, located in the drop-down menu in the form of a gear. In the "Shortcuts" section, by changing the "yes / no" activation, you can hide, activate or delete the necessary menu items. And by clicking the button at the bottom of the window or directly from the letter, it is easy to create a new shortcut folder.
• If you don't like specific icons in gmail com mail, change them to regular text labels in the general settings of button labels.
• The innovation of mail is the organization of nesting shortcuts without installing add-ons. To customize a shortcut, just click on the arrow located to the right of it. In this case, you will be asked to choose a color and customize the shortcut according to several criteria.
• If you delete one of the shortcuts, for example, "Inbox", the contents of the folder are not destroyed, but moved to the "Archive" and remains available in the "All Mail" folder as well.

Nobody, of course, canceled the manual "scattering" of letters among folders in the process of reading them using the familiar "Move" button. The google mail functionality avoids this routine and greatly simplifies your work.

• Filters. This tool is indispensable when you need to automate the process of sorting correspondence. To use the wonderful Google mail filters, you also need to enter the settings menu under the gear icon.
• The window that opens shows the existing filters and a link that will allow you to create an ideal, logically organized mail.
• You can filter letters, for example, by subject, by addressee (both recipients and senders of your own and attached mailbox), by certain terms, etc.
• Next, specify what to do with the filtered correspondence: send to one of the folders, archive, mark, apply a shortcut or forward, delete, etc.

If you have already used such a service, there should be no problems with creating a convenient sorting algorithm.

Gmail.com mail inbox security

An indisputable advantage of the service is the ability to track suspicious attempts to access the mailbox, as well as set up alerts in such cases. This can be done by following the "Additional Information" link in the "Settings" section.

• If the correspondence that you exchange or store is extremely important, it is worth sacrificing convenience and wisely setting up the security of your mailbox. In the Security and Login section, it is recommended that you create 2-Step Verification. When entering, you will need to not only enter a password, but also confirm access with the code sent to your phone.
• Carefully check the tab settings for unnecessary links in the signatures of emails that are turned on without your knowledge of the autoresponder.
• Make sure that there are no unknown names in the account access section and unauthorized addresses in the email sending settings.
• Check your POP and MAP settings, filters, etc.
