Creating an email account using Gmail
Step 1 -Open the Gmail web site
To create your Gmail account you only need a web browser - the

program you are using to read this page - and an internet connection.

You should now get to a page that looks something like the one

below. At the time of writing Gmail offers a little over 7Gb of inbox

space - though not unlimited but still more than enough to keep any

prolific emailer occupied for years.

Click on the Sign up for Gmail link that I have circled in the
screenshot and then proceed to the next page to get your free Gmail
email address.

This page describes the process of getting a Gmail email address for

yourself and continues from the previous page.

4
Step 2 - Enter all the required information in the "Create
an Account" online form
After you click on the signup link, you shall be shown the Create an

Account form with several fields that need your inputs.

5
Do not worry if the screen displayed to you and the screenshot image

on the left are not exactly the same.

You now need to start filling the form. Once you have entered your

first and last names, it is time to choose a login name. This is

important as your login name will decide the email address you

will get, and in case of a Gmail account, would be your-chosen-

login-name@gmail.com. So be sure to pick a login name, also

called the username, with care.

Step 3 - How to choose a login name or username for

your email address
Choosing a login name is part art and part common sense. And

because it determines what your email address will be, I suggest you

spend a little time over it. Since, email addresses need to be unique

which means no two people in the world can have the same

address, there is no guarantee that your preferred login name would

be available - more on this below. The following is my advice and

suggestions on how to choose a login or username

6
The availability of a login or user name can be verified by entering it

first in the text field and hitting the check availability button.

Step 4 - Choosing a password for your email

Securing your Gmail email account with a strong> password is

imperative. Think of the password as the key combination to your

safe and you need to give the same amount of importance. A

7
combination of uppercase and lowercase letters with some digits

thrown in would be a strong enough password. on the right of the

textfields in which you enter your password a sort of meter would

indicate the strength of the password.

You need to enter the password twice and you can leave the

"Remember me on this computer" box unchecked.

Step 5 - Protecting your Gmail account with a security

question
You now need to either select a security question from the drop down

list or enter one - and you need to provide the answer. This additional

security helps in getting your email account password if you forget it.

You may also enter a secondary email address but this field is

optional, i.e. you can leave it blank. And rightly so, because if the

Gmail address is your first email account you will not have an

alternate email ID.

8
Step 6 - Word verification and confirmation
After providing your secondary email address - you can leave this

blank, if you don't have one - and your location, you need to enter the

characters that you see in the picture above the field in your form.

Why is this required? So that Gmail knows the inputs are from a

human being and not some automated program.

Now that everything is set, you can go through the Terms of Service

and click on the "I accept. Create my account." button which will

create your very own free Gmail account! Hurrah and congratulations.

To access your Gmail account in future, you need to go to the web

site (links mentioned above) using a web browser and enter your

username (login name) and password once again.

Solutions to some problems in getting your Gmail email
address
Here are solutions to two common problems faced by account creators:

Login names of my choice are not available

Gmail is a very popular service and it is likely that the login names

you choose are no longer available. The only solution to this dilemma

is to keep trying to work with different permutations and combinations

and also brainstorming to come up with new ideas.

Gmail Account Creation Failed

Occasionally you might get a screen like one below that displays an

"Account Creation Failed" message.

The error message is a result of Gmail's spam filters working

overtime! As mentioned on the help pages, Gmail refuses to create

email addresses from a computer/connection if it exceeds a defined

limit. Web users trying to create a lot of addresses at once, like a

10
class or a group, may hit this limit. This is Gmail's way of protecting

itself from users who they believe will be creating email addresses for

spamming. The solution is to go through the process of getting your

Gmail address from another computer using a different.

Send a Gmail email - how to create and send

an email message
Compose a new email message in Gmail
Click on the "Compose Mail" link located under the Gmail logo (top-

left). You'll now see an online form (the email composition section)

with three fields. Ideally, to send Gmail email you need to provide 3

little bits of information - the email address of the recipient, the email

11
subject and email body/message. So what are these?

The email address of the recipient

It's the only item that's required to send an email and rightly so

because trying to send an email without specifying an address is akin

posting a blank envelop in the mail box - you need to address it to

someone... right?

12
The email subject line

This can be anything you want - you can also leave it blank but I don't

suggest that. The email subject is like a one-liner that describes what

you are about to write. It doesn't need to be very long; just a few

words would be fine.

The email contents - the main message

The main email message goes in the big (huge) box. You can write

as much as you want and we shall also look at saving an email

message and continuing it later if you need to abandon it in middle.

Start by entering the recipient's email address in the To: field. By the

way, you can send Gmail email to more than one recipient; all you

need to do is enter the additional email addresses separating each

one from the other by a comma. You can also send the email to

multiple recipients through Gmail Cc and Bcc. Now type the one line

email subject. Finally come to the third field in which you shall write

the actual message.

Plain text or rich-text email

Gmail allows you to compose email of two types -plain text and rich-

text. And what is the difference you ask?

13
As their name suggest, plain text email is simple vanilla flavour

without any formatting which mean text will be in black and white

default font face. I guess you can understand the dissimilarity better

when we compare it with rich-text email message.

With rich-text message you can embellish your email message with

various fonts in different colors and sizes, web links, emoticons,

alignment and much more. For details, refer the tip on how to write

Gmail e-mail with rich-text. But here is a brief anyway because we

don't want to lose track of our topic at hand, do we?

Right above the text box in which you type in your email message is

what I like to call the "formatting bar" - see image below. It has

several buttons/icons and you can understand what each one does if

you move the mouse cursor over it. If you don't see this toolbar, you

are probably using the older Gmail version - switch Gmail versions

read to know more.

Some of the rich-text formatting that I use quite often include:

• putting text in bold and/or italics

• changing font size and font type (the font family)
• adding color to selected text

14
 • highlighting text
• including a web link (URL), emoticons
• adding formatted lists - ordered or unordered (bulleted)
If you are writing a long email (we've all written a few in our lives) and

have to run off for an errand, you can always save it (the "Save"

button is at the top and the bottom) and it will send to the "Drafts"

folder. Once you get back in front of your computer, go to the Drafts

folder, click on the email message and resume your efforts. FYI,

Gmail automatically saves the email message you are composing so

that you don't lose what you have already written - can be really

frustrating if you've ever gone through this ordeal.

Send the Gmail email... quickly

When you have finished writing your email, click on the Send button

and the email will be on its way. When you send a Gmail email, a

copy is placed in the Send Mail folder for your future reference. This

is really helpful sometimes when you either need to dig out old

correspondences or forward / resend the message. And I hope you

checked the email for spelling mistakes using the Gmail spell

checker; if not, there is always next time...
