Did you ever want to open a new email account but did not know how to open a new email account?
Then this video is for you.
Hello, my name is Aekta and in this video we will learn 'How to open an email account'
These days there are several free email services available.
such as Gmail Yahoo Mail and Hotmail
In this video, I will show you how to open a Gmail account.
My e-mail address is kyakaise123@gmail.com
By the end of this video, you will be able to open your own email address
So... come on! Let's open an e-mail account
First open the Browser
After opening the Browser, type "GMAIL.COM" in the address bar above
the Gmail home page is open now
If we had an email address, we could have entered the username and password and could have logged in
but we are coming here for the first time so we will have to click on the red button 'Create An Account'
As soon as you click on the button, a new page opens up and there is a form here
As soon as we fill the form, our new email account will have opened
It's that easy
My mother does not have an email account till today. So let's open an email account for her.
This is just an example. When you fill this form, please enter details about yourself
Her name is Shashi Bala
After I input the name, I am being asked to choose a username
But the username should be such that it is easy to remember and unique. Someone else should not have taken that username already
Let's input 'shashibala' and see if it is available in gmail
Oh oh... Gmail is telling us that this username has already been taken up and it is suggesting some alternatives
ok... let me try another name 'shashibala1' ... oh this name is also taken already
'shashibala123' ... this is also taken
If there are many people with the same name as you, it is often hard to get your desired username
That's why people often use a combination of letters and numbers to get a unique username
so... let's try to add some numbers to her name to make the username unique...and then let's see if it is available
Yes! it's available... because I did not get a a red coloured message below
Now I am being asked for a password. A password is like a key and you should always keep this secret.
Choose a password that is easy to remember and one which others cannot guess easily.
For now, let me input 'kyakaise'
It's telling me that the password is strong
If you enter a simple password, anyone can guess it
Now we have to re-type the password typed above... 'kyakaise'
You must remember that the two passwords must be identical and exactly match
Now let me put her Date of Birth - August 8th 1950
The gender is 'Female'
We are being asked for a mobile number an an email address. But she does not have an email address so let's leave this blank.
If you do not want to input the Mobile number and email address, you can leave it empty.
Now in the next field, you are being told to prove that you are not a robot
Often hackers create bots that may create fake ids. So gmail has created a verification step so you need to type these letters above on the field below.
If you are not able to read the letters clearly, you can press this refresh button and get a new set of letters
Yes, I can read this now. So, let me type it and edialEm
Remember - you will be shown a different set of letters or numbers so you should input those
Next is Location; her location is India so let's select India as the location
And let's click here. This is Google's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy
You can read the Terms of Service by clicking here
But I have read these before hand so I am going to click here and to 'Next Step'
On clicking 'Next Step' a new page opens up... and now our email address is ready.
Now I am being asking to upload a profile photo for Shashi Bala
but I do not have a photo right now so I am going to skip this for now... and let's click on the blue button 'next step'
On clicking 'Next Step' a new page opens up
Here you see 'Welcome Shashi' and our email address shashibala8850@gmail.com has been created
Let's click on the blue button 'Continue to Gmail'
Once we press this button, we are inside the Gmail inbox where the Gmail team has sent us 3 emails and this is our welcome message
The email account is ready!
but remember, we have just logged into the email account
If you want to sign out, click on the arrow above button above and you will be signed out of Gmail
and now were are back where we started - on the Gmail login page
Remember - please do not share your password with anyone. Please note it some where and keep it safely so that if you forget it you can refer to the paper or dairy.
In this example we created an email address shashibala8850@gmail.com. The username was shashibala8850 and the password we chose was kyakaise
It's not necessary for you to use the same username or password. You may choose a username and password you like.
