You can receive messages from anyone who knows your email address, and then read them and reply;
• Sending and receiving files. In addition to regular text messages, almost all types of files can be sent to e-mail: documents, images, and music. A file sent by email is called an attachment;

If the recipient works online, you can get a response in a matter of minutes.

In addition, sending messages e-mail is free. Unlike sending a regular letter, there is no need to buy a stamp or pay for a service, no matter where the recipient lives. You only need to pay for an Internet connection or a special e-mail program.

What you need to use email

To use email, three components are needed:

1. Internet connection. To connect your computer to the Internet, you must first register with an Internet service provider. An ISP provides the Internet, usually for a monthly fee. See What you need to connect to the Internet.
2. Email application or webmail services. Email programs can be downloaded or purchased from Microsoft or another vendor. Email programs often provide more features and are faster than webmail services. Before setting up an email program, you need to obtain some information from your ISP, usually your email address, password, incoming and outgoing email server names, and some other details.
   If you don't want to download or buy an email program, you can sign up for free webmail services: Gmail, Windows Live Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail, etc. These services allow you to check email using a browser from any computer connected to the Internet, even if it belongs to another person or is located in a public institution (for example, in a library).
3. E-mail address. You can get an email address from your ISP or when registering with a webmail service. An email address consists of a username (any alias, not necessarily a real name), an "@" symbol, and the name of an ISP or webmail service (for example, [email protected]).

Create and send email messages and files

The following describes a typical a way to populate a message box in an email program. (The steps may differ depending on which program or Web-based email service you are using.)

• In the To field enter your email address at least one recipient. When sending a message to multiple recipients, separate the email addresses with a semicolon (;).
• You can enter email addresses in the Cc field additional recipients- persons who should read the message, but do not need to respond to it. They will receive the same message as the recipients in the To field. If there are no additional recipients, leave this field blank. Some e-mail programs also provide a CC (PC) field - it allows you to send messages, hiding certain names and e-mail addresses from other recipients.
• In the Subject field, enter message subject.
• In the large empty area, type Message text.

To attach a file to a message, click the Attach file to message button on the toolbar (located directly below the menu bar). Find the file, select it and click Open. The file will appear in the Attach field in the message header.

People in the modern world spend more and more time on the Internet - looking for and finding work, reading the news, communicating on social networks, checking the weather, buying, selling, earning money, saving, making friends, watching movies, listening to music, and often just lounging around. Today it is difficult to find a person who does not know what a search engine is, online mode, ICQ, blogs, how to use e-mail. But they still exist, and this text is intended for them.

In the usual sense, mail is the exchange of letters and parcels. So far, the power of human thought has not reached the level to send parcels through e-mail, but perhaps this will come true in the near future. Despite this, e-mail has many advantages.

1. In an email, you can send not only messages in the form of text, but also attach files to the letter: tables, photos, drawings, videos, presentations, and so on. Letters can be deleted, forwarded to other people, stored, filtered.

2. E-mail allows you to deliver correspondence (information) instantly, saving a lot of time and effort.

3. There is no need to go to the post office, because you can use e-mail without leaving your home, if you have the Internet and a computer.

4. Profitability - there is no need to pay for each letter, regardless of the amount of information in it. It is enough that the Internet service is paid to the provider in a timely manner.

5. Efficiency - you can check your mail and answer a letter even from a mobile phone with Internet access.

So, let's answer the question: "How to use e-mail"?

First you need to go to the site of a certain search or mail system, for example, "Yandex", "Google", "Rambler", "Mail.ru" and so on.

Let's try using an example to start mail on Google. At the top of the site, find and click "Mail", a new window will appear to enter the mail and your account. Since you don't have a Google mail yet, press the red button in the upper right corner - "Create an account". Next, personal data is filled in - first name, last name, username, password, gender, date of birth, mobile phone, alternate mail address. You create the username yourself, it must be unique (if there is already a user with such a login, the system will warn you and ask you to enter a different name), consist of Latin letters, the length of the name is from 6 to 30 characters. Keep in mind that if you are going to conduct business correspondence via e-mail, then you should come up with and choose more discreet logins.

Next, you need to enter a password for the mail. It should be strong enough, preferably containing uppercase and lowercase letters, symbols and numbers, and at least 8 characters long. Enter the password again to confirm it.

Your date of birth must be entered on this site in order to be able to access materials appropriate to your age. The fact is that a Google account allows you to have access to services such as Gmail (mail), YouTube (video portal) and Google+ (social network). You can set your account so that no one sees your age.

Gender, as well as mobile phone number is filled in at the discretion of the user.

To register mail, it remains only to prove that you are a real person (and not a robot), and enter the indicated Latin letters on the keyboard. If the signs are difficult to read, you can click on the "Audio" sign, the system will dictate them to you. If you do not want to do this, please provide your mobile phone number. A confirmation code will be sent to your phone in the form of SMS, you will need to enter it in the "Confirm account" field.

So, you have your own e-mail box, you can send and receive letters. How to write a letter? We find the "Write a letter" button, in the window that appears in the "To" field, write the recipient's address. If you want someone else to receive a copy of the letter, enter another email address in the "Copy" field. The "Subject" field can be left blank, but if you specify the subject and essence of the letter, it will be more convenient for the recipient. You can write text in the letter, format it, use the "Attach" button or the "Paperclip" icon to attach files, insert links, photos, pictures, save a draft of the letter. You can check the spelling before clicking the submit button. If you want to know exactly whether the addressee received and read it, check the box "Notify of read".

It's easier to read received emails - you just need to click on a new email (usually in bold). If you no longer want to receive emails from a certain author, you can mark one of them as spam. Further, all letters from this address will be automatically sent to the Spam folder. So, now you have an idea of ​​how to use e-mail, you can correspond with business partners and friends, register on social networks, make purchases over the Internet and much, much more.

The fact that the ability to work on a computer today is necessary for everyone and everyone is beyond doubt even among skeptics.

Nowadays, not knowing how to use e-mail is like not knowing how to read. Sending a report to management or a resume to an employer, making pen pals, conducting business communication, exchanging photos, etc. - all this is impossible without mastering the intricacies of e-mail. That is why only lazy people do not have their email address today. Here we will talk about how to start your own email account, how to send and receive emails, forward attachments, and much more.

9.4.1. How to set up your e-mail box?

In this section, we will consider the order of opening a mailbox using the example of the mail service of a popular portal www.yandex.ru.

* * *

On the main page of any Internet resource that provides free e-mail services, there is a link designed to switch to the mailbox formation mode. This link may be named differently; on the www.yandex.ru at the time of writing, it is called Get a mailbox. After clicking on this link, the dialog shown in Fig. 9.22.

Rice. 9.22. The first stage of creating a box

At the first stage, you must enter your last name and first name, as well as the name of the mailbox to be created ( login). All these data are entered from the keyboard. When entering a login, you can use letters of the English alphabet, numbers, as well as underscores and hyphens (spaces in the name are not allowed).

* * *

During the login process, the mail service automatically checks if it is currently busy. If it turns out that a mailbox with that name already exists, you will be offered other login options close to the one you tried to enter (they are offered anyway, see Fig. 9.22).

After filling in the specified details, click the button Farther to proceed to the next stage of creating a mailbox (Fig. 9.23).

Rice. 9.23. The second stage of creating a box

At this stage, you should enter the password, which will later be used to access the mailbox. To enter a password, you can use the same characters as when entering a login, as well as special characters ( % , & , + and etc.). The password must contain at least 6 and no more than 20 characters.

* * *

To avoid an error when entering a password, it should be entered twice: in the field Password and in the field Confirm the password. If identical values ​​are entered in these fields, then under the field Confirm the password the inscription will be displayed entered correctly(See Figure 9.23). If, however, an error was made when entering the password (an error is any difference in the fields Password and Confirm the password), then under the field Confirm the password a corresponding informational message will be displayed prompting you to re-enter the password. While the differences are in the margins Password and Confirm the password are not resolved, the mailbox cannot be created.

Sometimes users forget or lose their mailbox password. To solve such problems, a special mechanism has been implemented that allows the user to access his mailbox without entering a password. The meaning of this mechanism is to answer a secret question. This secret question and the answer to it are indicated at the second stage of the mailbox formation in the fields Security Question and Answer(See Figure 9.23). Moreover, the question itself is selected from the proposed drop-down list, and the answer to it is entered from the keyboard. Examples of security questions: Mother's Maiden Name(see fig. 9.23), Favorite dish, My school nickname etc. Obviously, the control questions are formed in such a way that only a specific person can know the exact answer to them. If the password is lost, the system will issue the security question specified during the formation of the box, and if the answer to it is correct, then access to the box will be open.

In field Other email (if any) you can enter the previously acquired email address, if available. This field is optional. If it contains an email address, registration information will be sent to this address immediately after the mailbox is created. Also, if you wish, you can specify your mobile phone (however, this is not recommended)

In field Check Digits from the keyboard you need to enter the numbers (without separators and spaces!), which are displayed above (see Fig. 9.23).

After filling in the listed details, you need to click the button Register– as a result, the screen will display information that the registration has been successfully completed (Fig. 9.24). Here, if you wish, you can enter some additional information about yourself.

Rice. 9.24. Completion of registration

You can enter them, or you can just click on the link Start using mail- immediately after that, the mailbox interface will open on the screen (Fig. 9.25). To subsequently enter your mailbox, you need to enter your login and password in the appropriate fields on the main page of the portal (in our example, www.yandex.ru) and click the button To come in.

Rice. 9.25. Mailbox Interface

The left side of the interface contains several folders for storing electronic correspondence. The following folders are offered by default: inbox, Sent, Remote, Spam and drafts.

All incoming e-mail, with the exception of letters recognized as spam, goes to the folder inbox. This folder is open by default when you log in to your mailbox.

Folder Sent designed to store sent (outgoing) electronic correspondence. When sending each letter, a copy of it (with all attachments, if any) is placed by default in the folder Sent.

In folder Remote electronic correspondence is stored that was deleted using the link Delete.

To folder Spam All incoming correspondence is placed, which is recognized by the system as spam. This folder can be quickly cleared using the link located to the right of the folder name (it appears if there is at least one letter in the folder). By the way, folders are cleaned in the same way. Remote.

* * *

In folder drafts you can store letters that for some reason are not intended for any of the folders listed above.

In order to move messages from folder to folder, mark them in the list using the appropriate checkboxes, then in the drop-down list Move to folder(this list is located on the right side of the interface above the list of letters) select the required folder and press the button located on the right OK.

Above the list of letters there are several links designed to switch to one or another mode of operation. The list of these links in different folders may look different. Since the order of their use is simple, we will only consider links that are located in the folder inbox.

With a link Write the transition to the mode of creating a new e-mail is carried out. At the same time, an interface opens on the screen, in which the addressee (or several addressees), the subject of the letter are indicated, the text of the letter is formed, and, if necessary, files are attached that must be sent along with the letter.

* * *

If the current mail message (or several flagged messages) is spam, then you should use the link This is spam. Using this link, you can report spam to the postal administration so that appropriate action is taken against spammers. When clicking on a link This is spam a window opens on the screen in which you need to confirm the fact of spam.

Chapter The address book is designed to maintain a list of recipients with whom the most active correspondence is supposed to be maintained. To add a new recipient to the list, use the link Add a note, then in the window that opens, enter the name and surname of the recipient, his email address, phone number, arbitrary comment and date of birth. The only mandatory requisite for each addressee is an email address.

In chapter Setting configuring mailbox settings. In particular, here you can create, edit and delete folders intended for storing electronic correspondence, select the style of letters, customize the mail interface, etc. Separately, it should be noted the ability to filter incoming mail in order to combat spam (the use of "black" and "white" lists). Also noteworthy is the implemented automatic mail collection mechanism, the setting of which allows you to automatically collect mail from all other mailboxes that the user has and deliver it to this mailbox.

Chapter Search designed to quickly search for letters. It is advisable to use the capabilities of this section when working with large volumes of electronic correspondence. As search parameters, you can specify an arbitrary text fragment (which can be contained both in the text and in the subject of the letter) and the email address of the sender/recipient. You should also specify the folders in which the search will be performed.

Thus, we learned how to create our own mailbox on our own. However, in this case, all actions for working with electronic correspondence have to be performed directly on the server, using the interface provided by the mail service. It is much more convenient to use special mail programs to work with e-mail. In this book, we'll take a look at one of the most popular of these programs, Outlook Express.

9.4.2. Purpose and features of Outlook Express

Microsoft Corporation is the developer of the Outlook Express mail program, and this largely contributes to the fact that this program is one of the most popular mail clients.

The scope of this possibility is so wide that it is impossible to answer this question unambiguously. Attachments can be photos, software products, text files, etc. etc. For example, when sending a letter to a relative or friend, you can attach several photos to it; you can write a short letter to the management, and send a detailed report as an attachment, etc. The functionality of sending attached files significantly expands the possibilities of e-mail.

Email Ethics - How to Send Email Correctly

5:895

The rules of email etiquette or "etiquette" are just as important as the rules of a telephone conversation or a face-to-face meeting. Sending email correctly is easy if you know a few simple rules.
Always send an email with the subject line filled in. The presence of this column will help the addressee determine the significance of the message and facilitate the work with electronic correspondence.
Be polite. Remember words of welcome and gratitude.
Follow the rules of grammar and punctuation. An abundance of mistakes can be mistaken for your incompetence and disrespect for the addressee.
Use capital letters only when necessary. In electronic etiquette, text printed in capital letters is perceived as shouting.
Write small messages that are logical in structure. Break the text into paragraphs, use short sentences. If the information cannot be shortened, format it as an attachment.
When replying to a letter, quote excerpts from the original message. This makes it easier for the recipient to remember what was said.
Do not email confidential information, credit card numbers. Information security is paramount.
Do not use emoticons, bright backgrounds and colored fonts in business letters.
At the end of the letter put a signature (4-7 lines). It will help the recipient identify the sender of the letter and provide additional information (telephone, fax).
After writing a letter, read it, putting yourself in the place of the recipient.
