Creating an Email Account

                 Before we get  into this process of sending and  receiving an  email, it is important  to create an  email
                 account.  Either  we can  have a  paid email service by creating  an  email using an  ISP server  or  we can  create
                 an email account by using a free web based email service provider. Some of the commonly used are: Hotmail.
                 com, Gmail.com, Outlook.com,  Yahoo.com,  rediffmail.com etc.  You can  write the email address of any  of
                 these in the address bar of any browser window. Let us now proceed to create an email account in the Gmail
                 email service:
                 Step 1    Connect your computer to the Internet and type www.gmail.com in the address bar browser window. It
                           will display the following screen:

























                 Step 2    Click on Create account option.
























                 Step 3    A window will open which will ask for the new username and password. It is always advisable to
                           choose a strong password so that it is difficult for others to have access to your account. At the time of
                           assigning a username, you may get a message “this user already exists” as there are so many users.
                             This is to take care that only unique email ids are created. So, keep trying different combinations to
                           create a unique username. After this is done, click on “Next” button.
