Email. E-mail address

Each box on the Internet has its own address. Without it, it would simply be impossible to use mail. That is, if a person sends and receives letters on the Internet, it means that he has an address.

The name of each box is unique and unique. You can not change it, you can only register a new box with a new name.

It's like, for example, a mobile phone number. What really appointed, this is. You can not change it, you can only get a new one.

Address email  can consist only of English letters, numbers and some characters (dot, hyphen, underscore). No Russian letters!

Also in its composition is the symbol @ (it is read as a "dog"). On the computer keyboard, this sign is located where the key with the number 2. To print it, you need to switch the keyboard to English, press the Shift key and, without releasing it, press the key with the number 2.

To sum up:

E-mail address  is the unique name of the box on the Internet. It must contain the @ symbol. An address is assigned when registering mail.

The following is obtained. When we created a mail on the Internet, we were assigned an address for it. Now letters come to him.

What is my address

Let's start with how the e-mail addresses are formed. When a person wants to get his personal mail on the Internet, he goes to some mail site (Yandex, Gmail, Mail, Rambler or another).

Then he goes through the registration. This is something like a questionnaire, which must be filled - without it, the mail will not be given. So in this very form there is a field of login and password. As we understood earlier, the login is the name in the mail system, and the password is the key that this name will open.

This is the very login - this is the key part in the name of your box.

Immediately after it is the @ icon. And after it comes the name of the postal site on which you have your own box.

For example, I registered mail on Yandex. Login - this is what I will open it, so I remembered it and even wrote it down. He's like this: samopalis

Means the address of my box: samopalis + @ + yandex.ru

Neither a plus sign, nor even a space in the name should not be. So my email address is: [email protected]

This is the address I have to say or write to a person to get a letter from him.

Nuances

Let me remind you once again: each e-mail address on the Internet is unique.

The second address can not be the same!

But there are some peculiarities in the mail systems, which often causes confusion. I want to tell you more about this.

Yandex Mail

When you get a name in this system, you are given a unique login plus part @ yandex.ru

But that is not all. In addition to each login, "increments" of the following type are given: @ ya.ru, @ yandex.com, @ yandex.by, @ yandex.ua, @ yandex.kz

That is, you can give someone your address in any of these formats, and if a person writes a letter to him, then it will fall straight into your mail without any problems.

So, if I have an address [email protected], I can easily write on my business card [email protected]  or any other option - the letter will still come to me.

But that's not all! Also, you can use your mobile phone number as your login. Naturally, with the prefix @ yandex.ru or any other (@ ya.ru, @ yandex.com, etc.). More information about this can be found on the link.

Mail.ru

When you receive a mail box on the mail.ru site, you are asked to choose a name for it with any of the endings: @ mail.ru, @ list.ru, @ bk.ru, @ inbox.ru.

But this does not mean that you can use them all. Conversely, the name will work only with one prefix specified at registration.

This means that if you registered your ivan login with a prefix @ bk.ru, then you can enter your mail only with this ending and with no other. With the standard @ mail.ru mail just will not open.

Moreover, if someone sends you a letter NOT to the address [email protected], but to the address [email protected], You will not receive it. In the best case, the letter will not go anywhere, and at worst it will get to another person who has the same login, but with another prefix.

For example, when registering a mail, I wanted to choose a name for myself [email protected], but it turned out that it was already taken. I had to choose with another prefix. If suddenly someone wants to write a letter to me [email protected], it will not come to me, but to another person.

Rambler.ru

The situation is the same as with mail.ru. You can create an address with the following prefixes: @ rambler.ru, @ lenta.ru, @ autorambler.ru, @ myrambler.ru, @ ro.ru

Having received the box with the prefix @ ro.ru, enter the mail with the same login, but under @ rambler.ru it is impossible. And the letters when sent to such an address before you also do not reach.

Where my email address is written

You can find out your e-mail address right inside the box. By the way, it is also automatically inserted into every email you send.

In Yandex.Mail address of your e-mail can be found by looking in the upper right corner of the box:

In the mail on Mail.ru it is also written at the top right:

In the box on Gmail, you need to click on the circle with the little man (or your icon / photo) in the upper right corner. A window will appear where the address will be written:

In the mail on Rambler, the address appears, if you click on the name at the top right.

One of the most important and used Internet services is email  (English e-mail or email, short for electronic mail); mail or e-mail, in common parlance "soap". This technology and the services provided by it for sending and receiving electronic messages ("letters") over a distributed (including global) computer network.

E-mail in many ways resembles the usual postal communication. Having written the letter on a sheet of paper, the sender puts the sheet in an envelope, seals it, pastes the stamp and inscribes the address of the recipient. Then he puts the envelope in the nearest mailbox. After a while, the letter will be delivered to the recipient. If it turns out that for some reason the letter can not be delivered, it will be returned to the sender. E-mail does the same thing much faster with the help of the Internet and computers, so it is mostly used today for daily business and personal correspondence. Instead of paper and pen, a keyboard is used, with which the text of the letter is typed in a special window the mail program  or a browser. Letters are sent by clicking the "Send" button or the like. In the role of post offices serve mail servers, and postal channels serve as Internet channels. Mail servers store users' electronic mailboxes. As soon as the user peeks into his mailbox, he immediately sees the incoming messages. And then - it's a matter of a few minutes (or seconds) to read them (view). The advantages of e-mail are obvious: free of charge, speed of delivery of letters and ease of access to your e-mail box (simply having a computer connected to the Internet).

In e-mail, the mailbox acts as a virtual repository, to which mail arrives and stores; each mailbox has its own address. The address is a record of the form: [email protected]where mymail is the name of the mailbox itself mail server, and mailserver.com is the address of the mail server on which the mailbox is created. It is important to note the presence of the @ (dog) in the e-mail address: this is the sign that this is the address of the mailbox, not the site.

What is a letter sent by e-mail? E-mail messages are electronic documentssimilar to those created using programs such as Microsoft Word, Excel, WordPad or Notebook. In addition to the usual text by e-mail, you can send voice messages, images, office documents - in short, anything that can be written to a file.

Usually, special e-mail programs are used to create, send and receive e-mail messages - for example, Microsoft Outlook Express, The Bat!  etc. Another popular way of working with mail does not involve the use of a special mail program - just a regular browser. It is enough for the visitor to go to the mail page to send and receive letters.

It is important! \u003e\u003e Often an Internet service provider who connects a user provides him with an e-mail box that is included in the paid package of services. Its address is indicated in the documentation attached to the concluded agreement. To learn how to access your mailbox and configure it, you can contact the provider's technical support.

If, for some reason, the box is not provided, then in the simplest and cheapest version (which does not mean the worst) you can use the services free server  e-mail, which now exists quite enough:

Usually when working with the web interface, the main factors are the mail design, the size of the mailbox provided, the domain zone, stability of work, the degree of protection from unauthorized mass mailings - spam. Some postal services (Gmail, pochta.ru, etc.) provide an opportunity for everyone to register for free mailbox of unlimited volume. In addition to mailboxes on some servers (for example, on pochta.ru) you can get free domain names of the third level and place a virtual web server on the network. A Rambler-mail provides its users with the ability to create an ICQ account simultaneously with the mailbox (ICQ). It's good, if the server supports the POP3 and SMTP mail protocols for using standard mail programs.

How to create your own freeelectronic mail box?

To create your e-mail, you need to go to the registration page of one of the above-mentioned mail services, come up with the name of the mailbox (login), specify the real name and surname (if you create a personal, rather than an anonymous box) and click the "Continue" button "Next", etc.). Some services will offer to register for a choice in one of the domains included in the mail system. When filling out the fields of the registration form, it is necessary to take into account that the name (mail login) must necessarily start with a lowercase English letter and contain only English alphabet characters (a-z), numbers (0-9), and underscores (_). You can only enter one name per registration.

It is important! \u003e\u003eWhen choosing a login, you should avoid names from a small number of characters (up to 5) or common words (cat, love, papa, sexy, etc.), otherwise this box will become a convenient target for spam mailings that automatically generate simple the names of the mailboxes on different mail domains.

Then you need to enter the desired e-mail address in the corresponding cell.
In case this address is already occupied, you can try to register one of the alternative e-mail addresses, which can be listed in a special form, or choose another address yourself.

After choosing a name, it is often suggested to fill out a registration form, after completion of which it is usually required to enter in the special cell a control code for protection from automatic registration, shown here in the picture, and click on the registration button. If for some reason the picture with the control code does not load, you should refresh the browser page. If this did not work, then probably, the function of displaying pictures is disabled in the settings of the Internet browser. After turning on the option of displaying pictures, you can return to the registration procedure.

Then you will be asked to Agreement on the use of free service.  It must be read and agreed with all its conditions (put a "tick" in the appropriate cell). Continuing the registration procedure (clicking on the "Next" button), the user automatically accepts the terms of the agreement.

The next step will be to enter twice password for the created mailbox. The password should usually include at least 6 characters and contain only digits (0-9) and characters of the English alphabet (A-Z, a-z). Do not create a simple password, as this will make the box vulnerable to intruders and can lead to loss of confidentiality of correspondence. The password should be kept confidential and not lose it. In case the password is forgotten or for some other reason is not accepted by the mail server, and its recovery tools (see below) are not reserved, serious difficulties are possible in proving the rights to this address.

At this stage, you can complete the registration. To do this, click the "Finish" button. If the user wants to set parameters during the registration process to recover the lost password, you can proceed to the next step.

Step "Security Question— secret answer »  allows you to set a security question and answer to it, with which you can change the password if it is forgotten or lost. That is, if necessary, by following the link "Forgot your password?"  on the main page, you can correctly answer the security question and set a new password. The answer should exactly match the one you specified when registering. It should be such a question, the answer to which no one  can not know or pick up. Do not use quotation marks (neither double, nor single, nor reverse). Here you can also specify a different e-mail address (if available) for password recovery. You can use this e-mail box to retrieve the password from the mailbox in case it is forgotten.

When you click the Finish button, you can be prompted to check all the specified data. To finalize the registration of the e-mail address, click the "Ok" button ("End", etc.).

After these actions are completed, the user enters the new mailbox, where you can see the list of folders to work with. To start working, you can click the "Write a letter" button.

It is important! \u003e\u003e In the future, to enter the mail service on the main page of the mail server, it will be necessary to enter the name (login) of the mailbox (address) and password. To enter them you need exactly the same as when registering: keeping the register (uppercase / lowercase letters) and language keyboard layout (Russian / Latin).

In our time, no one can do without e-mail. Communication over the network has acquired a mass character. Many questions - both business and personal - are resolved in this way. It is convenient, fast and does not require much effort. A similar method of information exchange is available for every user who has a computer and the Internet. Therefore it is important to know what is the e-mail address and how to write it correctly. Thanks to this service, you can quickly contact someone, forward important documents or just chat with someone who is far away from you.

We will tell you how to become the owner of a mail box on the Internet

Electronic Mail (e-mail) services are used everywhere. Each organization or institution, along with other contacts, always has an e-mail address. It should be for any PC user. Without it, you can not register on websites, subscribe to newsletters, gain access to closed resources and forums. It is also needed for the operation of some programs.

This distribution of e-mail is due to the fact that the services for sending messages are accessible and understandable to everyone. They appeared a very long time, but still remain relevant. E-mail does not require a powerful computer or fast Internet. There are many different sites on which it can be registered. Everyone has a different interface and functional, so there are options for every taste. If you do not like online services, install special utilities on your computer - email clients.

The e-mail address is unique for each user. It's like a phone number or an index - there are not two identical.

You can send messages of any length, add attachments to them: files, pictures, documents. Such a letter will be delivered instantly. Most e-mail services have a huge tool for text formatting. Different fonts, outlines, colors, background insertion, drawings are available. You can send this greeting card. And the recipient will see it on the same day.

What does the e-mail address consist of?

E-mail has a clear structure and is formed in a certain way. It consists of several elements. The elements themselves may differ, but they must be written in Latin letters. It is acceptable to use numbers, punctuation marks and some other symbols. This is a generally accepted standard. Here's how the email looks: " [email protected]". We will analyze each part of the address in more detail.

Structure E-mail addresses  not so complicated

• Login. This is your username or nickname. A unique identifier by which the system of receiving and sending messages will calculate that it is your e-mail. It must be invented independently. It can be anything, the main thing is that it does not coincide with the nickname, which already exists in the mail service. When registering e-mail, you may receive a warning "This login is already taken" or something similar. Then you have to think of and write down another name. It is not necessary to change it completely, just add some numbers or symbols to it so that it becomes unique.
• Next comes the delimiter character "@". It is called "Commercial at" or simply "Dog". On the keyboard it is located where the button with the number "2" (you can print it in the English layout). This sign is required in all e-mails - it stands between the login and the domain. In different countries it is called differently. For example, in Finland it is "Cat" or "Cat's tail", in Italy - "Snail", in Bulgaria - "Monkey", in the USA - just "at". On public Internet resources, this symbol is sometimes replaced by "at" in parentheses. This is done so that the address does not fall into the database of spam bots. When sending messages, you must replace "at" with "@".
• Domen (domain). The URL of the service on which the e-mail is registered. It can be a corporate or any free site (for example, mail.ru or gmail.com). Many resources offer several variants of domains. You can not invent it yourself - you can only choose. Many organizations create their own domains, but this is done for a fee.

Look at how to write an email address on a specific example: " [email protected]», « [email protected]».

How to register e-mail?

Several sites with the function of free registration e-mail:

• Yandex
• Gmail
• Rambler

Viewing incoming mail to Google is quite convenient

They are not just for creating e-mail. Each of them has a huge set of information, entertainment or simply useful services. To get a personal address, you need to do the following:

1. Go to the resource.
2. There will be a button "Create an account", "Register", "Register mail" or something like that.
3. Fill in the fields. Usually it is necessary to write a name, the desired login, specify a security question and answer to it, set a password. If you do not want to enter a real name, you can replace it with a nickname. But in the e-mail, which you need for work or some official affairs, it is better to write the correct user data so that they are displayed in messages to your customers, colleagues and employers.
4. Password is desirable to make difficult. Not related to the login, name, date of birth or anything similar. So that it can not be picked up.
5. The login can consist of letters of the Latin alphabet, numbers or special signs. If you enter an invalid character, the system will warn you about this.
6. Confirm the registration.

Dialog for creating a mailbox in one of the systems

Large organizations register their own domains. It looks presentable. Serious companies prefer not to use free e-mail services.

If you do not know how to come up with an email address, try something like this:

• Surname with initials or abbreviated full name. You can add numbers, dots, dashes, underscores. Convenient for business communication. By login, it is immediately clear who owns it.
• Nickname, which you often use on the Internet. Those who know you by this nickname will be able to recognize your mail at a glance.
• In some services, the address is automatically generated from your name (if you specified it). The system will offer several logins to choose from. If one of them suits you, use it.
• It is better to create a nickname that is easy to remember. Do not ask an incoherent set of letters or numbers if you are going to use the service for communication or work.

How to send an e-mail?

1. Log on to the email site or start your email client.
2. Click the New Mail button. It can be called and in a different way.

5. The largest field is for the body (content) of the letter.
6. When finished, click on "Send".

The web-mail interface for various services is approximately the same

It is quite easy to understand how the e-mail user's address is being formed. It consists of three parts: a login, a delimiter character @ and a domain name. These elements are fixed and can not be interchanged. Each e-mail is a unique set of symbols, there are no two identical ones. Login can be thought of, the domain - only choose from the proposed options. The address should consist of letters, numbers or some characters.

Almost every person knows what ordinary mail is. Almost everyone came across her. However, the combination of email sometimes makes many people think about what it can mean. It's a kind of mail, but why it's electronic. A person who does not know what it is for is not able to understand this combination. In order to learn more about this concept, you need to understand what the notorious e-mail is.

E-mail exists for a longer period of time than the Internet itself. She appeared in 1965. It was used mainly by users who exchanged information with each other on one huge computer device.

Technologies continued to improve over the years, and the mail developed along with them. In 1972, a utility was created, which was called Arpanet. it was used to exchange information between users. It is this channel for the transmission of electronic messages was the predecessor of the Internet network.

It should be considered a very significant stage for the development of e-mail the time when people began to actively use all the possibilities of the Internet. They understood everything about the worldwide web. The Internet was used by a very large number of people. Over time, they began to replace the standard writing of a letter on paper and sending it to a postal address by electronic correspondence. The proportion of ordinary correspondence began to decline in corporate workers and in ordinary people.

How Email Works

Actions with electronic type mail, which include its writing, sending, receiving are carried out thanks to the SMTP Internet connection protocol. Currently, Russian-speaking people very often call e-mail jargon, among which soap, electronica and many other expressions. However, the most correct names for email are email or e-mail.

What are the principles of work between the two options of mail are identical. However, they also have differences. In addition, both ordinary mail and electronic have their negative and positive qualities.

E-mail has the following positive qualities:

• no payment for sending the letter. Users pay only for access to the Internet.
• High level of speed of delivery of messages. This can take only a couple of minutes.
• Ease of use.
• Sending a formatted message.
• Send messages with a variety of files.
• Natural resources are not used as opposed to writing a letter on paper.

There are also negative e-mails:

• Delay in the delivery of letters for technical reasons for several days.
• The message may not reach the person to whom it was sent.
• An unauthorized user can intercept an e-mail.
• The size of the message can not be more than the weight.
• The presence of spam and virus messages in the network, which are sent by e-mail.

From this it follows that, in terms of its focus, e-mail is a complete computer analogue of standard mail. It also has an address, a destination, a sending message, and a mailbox to receive and store mail.

How does e-mail work?

Many modern users and companies have their own mailbox, which they authorized. Directly its name is on the mail server. The design of the e-mail address is the following: login @ domain. top-level domain.

In this situation, by login is meant the name of the registered person or his pseudonym, which he invented for himself. A lot of effort should be made to think about what the name should be. After all, all the simplest logins are already taken. The user name must be unique within the same domain. To write it, you should use Latin letters, numbers, but you can not use a space.

The @ icon is used to separate the login from the domain. It is often called a dog.

The domain and the top-level domain designate an Internet resource on which the e-mail address is authorized. To create a mail on Yandex, you must use the domain yandex.ru, for google mail you need to apply the domain gmail.com.

AT mailbox e-mail, as well as in the mail box that is in the house, all the letters that are addressed to a specific person are stored. This mailbox is located in the mail server section. In it, all letters are divided into specific folders for the convenience of users. The maximum message size in them can vary depending on the server settings.

For a detailed illustration of how e-mail works, you should consider a simple example of sending and receiving an e-mail. For example, a user with an email address [email protected]  sends a message to [email protected]

To begin with, the sender needs to go to his email site and write a message. After that, specify the sender and send it. Further the letter gets on the server of Yandex where it is checked for correctness of registration and further there is a check of that to whom it is addressed.

When using certain verification programs, the system itself determines on which mail server the recipient's address is located. Further in this situation, the Yandex server is connected by the mail server and sends the message there via the SMPT protocol.

After this, work begins server mail. It determines whether the email is really intended for its owner. And if everything is correct, then the message is placed at the address [email protected]  mail in incoming messages.

If such an e-mail address does not exist, the message is sent in the opposite direction to the recipient. Actually it also works with unclaimed letters in regular mail.

How to create an e-mail

To date, the presence of at least one e-mail address is a simple necessity for every Internet user. His absence can lead not only to the loss of the opportunity to communicate with his family and friends absolutely free of charge, but also you can lose the chance to register on any Internet portal.

It has already been considered what is electronic mail. Now you should carefully understand how to create your own account. At present, an example of creating mail in the Yandex system will be considered.

This mail from the domestic search engine is very popular. It is absolutely free. First you need to complete the registration process. To do this, you need to visit the browser or the site yandex.ru and find there section "Start a mailbox."

After that, a certain form will be opened for filling. In it it is necessary to indicate your name and it. However, you should not invent pseudonyms. After all, if it happens that access to the mail will be lost, you will have to try very hard to prove that this or that user is its owner.

To create a login, you must use Latin letters, numbers and dots. However, you can not use a space. As the login is entered, its availability is determined. You must choose a unique user name. It is necessary to carefully select the name for the name of the email, because it is the representative of the user on the Internet.

After clicking on the next, a section for writing a password appears before the users. You need to come up with a strong password for this purpose. You can not use the same set of letters and a symbol for different services. After all, if this password  will be hacked, then access to all the accounting pages will be lost. You need to come up with a complex password that can not be cracked by selecting the most obvious combinations of letters and numbers. You can not use your date of birth, last name, first name, etc. in the password.

After registration, you can enter information about your mobile phone. You can also specify your age and start using e-mail.

In the mailbox itself, there will be a request for quick setup. This item can be skipped and immediately go to your folders with messages and start using them.

Here incoming letters already have one message from Yandex. You can open it with a single mouse click. For comfortable use of mail in it is provided at once several folders for letters. In them to the left there is a number that is an indicator of letters.

In the Inbox, there are messages that come from other senders.

In the "Sent" folder are all the letters that were sent by the user.

In the "Deleted" folder there are letters that are left on temporary storage after they have been deleted.

In the "Spam" folder are located all the messages that the system considers spam.

Drafts store messages that the user himself noted as a draft.

To go to a folder, you just need to click on it with the mouse. On the right there is a list of all the letters in it.

To write a new message, click on the item "write".

To start, you must enter the recipient's address and specify the message subject. If there is a desire, then you can edit the message. You can change the sender's or recipient's mail address. Also, the message can be supplemented with attached files of various types. After the letter has become what the user wants it to see, the lone can send it.
