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.
