Specific conditions for different providers can be very different. A mailbox from a provider can be provided free of charge or for a fee, separate conditions determine the size of the box and a list of possible additional services.

· Corporate mail service

The corporate address is obtained at the place of work. The mail server in this case belongs to the organization, mailboxes are allocated to employees.

· Commercial postal service

Commercial postal services provide mailboxes for a fee. They take money for the creation and support of the mailbox.

·Free Postal Service

Free services simply provide the opportunity to use the mail to everyone.

As a rule, many people approach the choice of a mailbox for their e-mail lightly - they puzzle over which account and password to come up with for a long time, but at the same time they do not attach any importance to which service to choose. Often, when registering free mail, they are guided, first of all, by the name of the domain. Someone wants this domain to display their location, like [email protected], but for others it is important that the address is simple and very easy to remember, as, for example, [email protected] Meanwhile, you should pay attention to completely different features of mail - what tools are used to combat spam, whether mail clients are supported, how stable the service is, etc.

Many users have an ISP-provided mailbox at their disposal. However, for those who lead an active life on the Web, it is not enough. An email address is required when registering on various services and forums, and using a box from a provider for these purposes is fraught with the fact that after a while it will turn into a spam collection. Therefore, many users always have at their disposal not one, but several mailboxes at once - one for correspondence, and the rest for registering in various online stores, communities, etc. This approach is good because it is always easy to refuse "additional" boxes if the need arises.

So, what are the best mail services to use for receiving and sending correspondence? Read our review.

Mail.com

If you try to come up with the simplest version of a domain address for mail, then imagine something more trivial than an address [email protected], difficult. If you try to follow this link in a browser, the free email service of the same name will open. Upon closer acquaintance with this service, it turns out that it is not so simple at all. This service offers about three hundred domain addresses for mail alone - that's really where there really is plenty to choose from. Offered in a huge number of mail domains are sorted into categories to make it easier to navigate in this variety. So, in the list of suggested names for mail there are names of cities and countries, for example, paris.com or singapore.com. You can also choose a domain for your email based on your hobby, such as elvisfan.com or bikerider.com. And what only professions are not in this list! From archaeologist, sociologist and orthopedist to engineer and politician. There are also domains for fun people who want to stand out with their originality (the domains humanoid.net and tvstar.com were especially amused in this group), as well as domains with country names and related to religion.

As for the domains themselves, there are no sites at these addresses and, what is especially strange, there is no forwarding from these addresses to mail.com.

Mail.com offers users a paid email option with unlimited space, no ads, and a number of other benefits. Free mailbox of three gigabytes has a system of customizable anti-spam filters. You can also set five email addresses in your account settings, from which the service will automatically download incoming correspondence to your mail.com account.

The mailbox web interface includes a notepad. In this notebook it is convenient to make various notes, any text entries with a length of no more than five thousand characters. Notes can be classified, sorted into groups, etc. For example, you can leave yourself a reminder that you need to send someone a letter of congratulations, or about some other important event. The idea of ​​such a tool, it would seem, is quite interesting, but our attempt to leave a message in Russian did not lead to anything good - the text immediately turned into abracadabra. The lack of support for the Russian language is undignified for such a large service, especially since in the list of domain names for choosing an email address there is an option russianmail.com. Agree, it's rather strange to have a mail account with such a domain, and at the same time not be able to work with mail tools in Russian.

In conclusion, we note that for some reason we were not able to complete the registration on the Mail.com service right away. It's probably because of the picture with the confirmation code, which is supposed to protect against automatic registration - on Mail.com, she didn't want to let us through. Apparently, we were just unlucky - preventive work was carried out on the site, and after a few hours, it was possible to register accounts without hindrance.

Registration on one of the most popular email services in the world has a significant drawback - by filling out the name form for the account, it is impossible to immediately check whether such a user already exists. In addition, even when trying again, the service does not offer guaranteed free options for the email account, but simply states "This login is not available." Considering how many users use mail on this service, it becomes clear that it will not be easy to find an unoccupied concise and understandable name.

After registering an email account, you can work with all services Yahoo! using the same account. The mailbox on Yahoo! Mail includes a chat, so that by logging into the web interface of your mail, you can exchange instant messages with anyone who uses the same Yahoo! or Windows Live.

The mail interface is available in both English and Russian. Despite this, you should not place high hopes on the translation of email tools - some phrases are frankly baffling with their meaninglessness.

The size of the mailbox on this service is not limited, however, the size of sent attachments should not exceed 10 megabytes.

Yahoo!Mail has two interfaces - classic and updated. The user can quickly switch between these options without ending the current session on the server. The newer version of mail is similar to working in an email client - you can simultaneously view the list of letters and the text of the selected message, and the messages are loaded almost instantly and do not require a page refresh. However, the new version of the interface does not work in all browsers. For example, Opera is not officially supported.

The mailbox contains an address book. It can copy contacts from various email clients - Outlook, Outlook Express, Netscape/Thunderbird and Palm Desktop. You can do the opposite - export the address book to these applications.

For an additional fee ($20 per year), users can expect an extended set of features. The paid version of the Yahoo! Mail Plus mail service has a number of advantages - support for mail clients that work with the POP3 protocol, larger attachments - up to 20 megabytes - and some others. However, the most interesting feature of the paid version of the service can be considered the AddressGuard anti-spam system. Its essence is as follows. Suppose the user already has a free Yahoo! account, say [email protected] He uses this box both at home and at work, so the likelihood of a spam attack is quite high. The easiest way to protect yourself from the invasion of advertising and junk mail is not to give the address to everyone. Suppose a user decides to register in an online store. To do this, using the AddressGuard system, he creates a so-called disposable mailbox, say, [email protected](the user comes up with the name for this one-time box). This address is used by the user when registering in this store. Any correspondence that comes to [email protected], automatically enters the box [email protected] Some time later, to the address of the disposable box [email protected] spam starts coming in. The user deletes a specially created one-time address created using the AddressGuard system, after which the spam flow stops. It would be nice to adopt this anti-spam system for other popular services.

One of the advantages of the Rambler Mail mail service is support for the IMAP protocol, which is an alternative to the POP3 protocol (the latter is also supported by the service). The maximum size of an attachment that can be sent in one letter using this mail is up to twenty megabytes. This is one of the best "indicators" among the test participants.

Especially for mobile phones and other portable devices, such as PDA, the mail service provides a simplified version of the mobile mail service, available at mobile.rambler.ru.

Initially, the mailbox size is 50 megabytes. This volume can be increased to 1000 megabytes, though not immediately. The free space for letters provided by Rambler Mail can be increased by an additional 50 megabytes once a day. If you calculate, it turns out that this "under-gigabyte" is achieved in as much as twenty days, unless, of course, you get tired of increasing the box every day. Of course, 50 megabytes for mail is quite a sufficient amount, but only if you do not send large attachments and do not conduct active correspondence. If the mailbox is started for work, then, we believe, sending documents and communicating with business partners will quickly run out of free space.

Somewhat confusing is the information about the maximum allowable letter size. The maximum size of a sent message with attachments is 25 megabytes. There is a warning in the terms of use of the service that the file is encoded during transfer, and therefore its volume increases by approximately 30 percent. This, in turn, means that the actual maximum file size that can be uploaded will be no more than 18 megabytes. The maximum size of the received letter can be up to 25 megabytes.

If the mailbox is accessed from a region where a keyboard with a Russian layout is a rarity, you can use one of the service's useful tools - a virtual keyboard - to type.

This popular mail service does not need advertising. Many still remember that when Gmail just started its work, registering accounts on it was possible only by invitation, and the size of the mailbox at that time seemed just huge - a whole gigabyte. But time goes by, today the Gmail mail service is one of the most popular on the Internet, and the volume of the free mailbox provided is regularly increasing. This is easy to see for yourself - on the start page of the service there is a counter that constantly runs forward and "winds" the size of the mailbox on Gmail. At the time of writing, this number exceeded seven gigabytes.

Please note that although the maximum attachment size for a single email is 20 MB, the message you send will not be delivered if the total size of the text message and attachment exceeds this size.

Large mailbox, provided to Gmail users, gives some people ideas about how to misuse it. But you should not speculate on your account. It is enough to start actively sending or receiving large batches of data through the Gmail account, and the service will immediately block the account, first for a short period, then for a longer period of time, and if the user does not change his line of behavior, he will completely close his account for violation service usage rules. The same can happen if the service detects any "unusual use" of mail, for example, when the service performs a mass mailing of letters, among which there are many undelivered messages that bounced back. Also, the suspicion of the service can cause a large number of connections to the mail web interface in a relatively short period of time. At one time, we were "lucky" to check this situation on ourselves - when the "Enter" key stuck on the keyboard, the service quickly reacted to numerous reloads of the mail page and temporarily restricted access to the mail account.

Sorting letters in the mailbox Gmail has a distinctive feature - all sent emails are grouped with replies to them. These groups are called "chains", they are very convenient for keeping track of the history of correspondence.

Fight against spam Gmail is implemented, in general, not bad, but not without flaws, and from time to time the service does not let through completely harmless letters. By marking the incoming letter as spam, you can be calm - the next time the junk message will go to the Spam folder, bypassing the Inbox. But if Gmail mistook one of the correspondents for a spammer, then even if his address is marked as trusted, there is still a chance that the next time the message will be mistaken for spam. This issue will likely be fixed in the future, but if you use a mailbox on this service, we would advise you to review the contents of your spam folder from time to time. There is no, no, and there is an erroneously filtered letter in it.

A lot of attention in Gmail is given to security. The bottom of the page displays information about when you last logged into your account and whether it is open on any other computer. In addition, Gmail shows the IP address on which the account is opened. This feature is especially useful for those users who often check mail from different locations and may forget to log out of their account. If desired, you can quickly end all sessions except one. If you wish, you can get more detailed information about the use of the account. For example, by clicking on the "More Information" link next to an IP address, you can see which IP addresses you've accessed Gmail from recently and how (mobile phone, POP3, etc.) . This is a very useful feature to help you make sure that no one else is using your account.

If you decide to use the Gmail service, we advise you to pay attention to the ads that are displayed unobtrusively on the page with received messages. The fact is that, unlike other services, where the abundance of advertising only causes irritation, Google's advertisements may well interest you. Firstly, there are few advertisements on the page with mail, and secondly, the topic for advertisements is not random, it is selected taking into account the words that are found in received and sent mail messages. For example, after you send a letter to a friend that you have always dreamed of having a car, an advertising message from a company that sells this particular product may appear on the page.

The Gmail mail service allows you to search for a key phrase in all correspondence. The search results will be displayed on the screen, and the requested phrase will be highlighted in yellow.

One of the interesting features of Gmail, which became available to users relatively recently, is the presence of colorful themes for the design of the mailbox. Users have 30 themes at their disposal to make Gmail, for example, sparkle with a chrome finish or look like a retro notepad. You can choose between "nature" themes, which change depending on the time of day, or "weather-sensitive" themes that can make your Gmail window rain. In addition, now funny characters can live permanently in the mail. Among the new Gmail themes is even the old-school ascii-style Terminal interface, which was created as a result of a dispute between two engineers. To choose a theme to your liking, go to the "Settings" section and select the "Themes" tab.

The name of this service is confusing to many, most mistakenly suggest that this service may have something to do with Google's email service. Even the Gmail.ru logo is made in a rainbow palette and resembles the logo of another service from Google. But, nevertheless, this is a completely different project that has nothing to do with Gmail. The number of domain names for mail registration on this service is steadily increasing. The fact is that the policy of Gmail.ru is to attract the owners of any domain names who want to organize a free mail service. The only requirement put forward by the resource is that the website must have a daily attendance of at least 500 visitors. This is where the whole activity of the service ends - registration for any of the proposed domains does not pass, due to which the pseudo-service gets into our black list.

Users who decide to have a mailbox like [email protected], will be quite surprised when they see its interface.

Doesn't it remind you of anything? There is no doubt - the web-interface of this mailbox has practically no differences from the web-interface of the mail gmail. The similarity is visible in everything - the same menu, tools for editing text, a set of tools. The fact that the mail on bigmir.net works on the engine of an advanced mail service from Google is also evidenced by the fact that if you open the mail management help, you can find yourself on the Gmail mail help page. The secret is revealed simply - in 2007, bigmir.net took advantage of the Google Apps Partner Edition affiliate program and changed the mail engine to a module similar to Gmail. At the same time, users benefited - they received a stable operation of the service, the ability to automatically sort letters, and spam protection. And also - the constantly growing volume of the mailbox (on the bigmir.net page there is even a winding counter of the current mail size, the same as on Gmail). The only difference between the services is a different domain name.

Almost every mail service develops its own anti-spam technology (it really is a headache for the entire Internet!). The service "KM Mail" was no exception, which uses a special anti-spam tool called "Quarantine". This method of combating spam consists in the fact that the received letter is placed in the "Inbox" folder only in one of two cases. The first is if its sender is on the recipient's "white list". The second - if the sender confirms the automatic request sent to him when receiving a message from him. To confirm, you must either follow the link specified in the letter, or answer, leaving the letter unchanged.

Each sent message can be attached to several files with a total size of no more than 7.5 megabytes.

All incoming mail is checked by Dr.Web anti-virus, which blocks mail worms, Trojans and other viruses from entering the mailbox.

In the mailbox settings, you can set up an SMS notification about the arrival of a new letter, so that each time new messages arrive, you can quickly respond to them. Unfortunately, not all mobile operators support this feature, so before setting up, you should familiarize yourself with the list of available operators. This function works both in Russia and in other countries of the near abroad, for example, in Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Latvia, Belarus, etc.

The first thing that pleases when registering on this service is a mailbox of unlimited size. The service rules state that after registration, the mailbox occupies 100 megabytes, however, the free space counter in the mailbox has a maximum mark of 512 megabytes, so it is difficult to judge the exact size of the mailbox immediately after its creation. In general, the space in the mailbox can be as large as needed - as soon as the free space is less than 10 megabytes, on the folder list page, to the right of the mailbox full indicator, an "increase" link will appear, allowing you to increase the size of the mailbox by another 100 megabytes. You can increase the size of the box many times, but not more than once a day.

Postal address registration is available in the following domains: pochta.ru, fromru.com, front.ru, hotbox.ru, hotmail.ru, krovatka.su, land.ru, mail15.com, mail333.com, newmail.ru, nightmail. ru, nm.ru, pisem.net, pochtamt.ru, pop3.ru, rbcmail.ru and smtp.ru.

The secret question, which must be specified when registering a free mailbox, has to be invented and typed in the appropriate field on your own. As usual, this service does not offer pre-prepared questions, and, it seems to us, in vain - why waste time filling out a question, if the main thing is the answer typed by the user.

When entering the mail web-interface, the service shows not only the time of the last e-mail access through the browser, but also the last access via the SMTP, POP3 and IMAP4 protocols.

Anti-virus and anti-spam are used to protect correspondence. The service supports spell checking and allows you to translate typed text from English into Russian and vice versa. If necessary, you can use the auto-response function. In this case, you can create a number of rules according to which a response will be automatically sent. This feature is very convenient to use when you go on vacation - everyone who sends letters can receive a notification, for example: "I'm on vacation in the Maldives, I forgot my phone at home, it's useless to call. I won't be home until the 21st."

If within six months the service has not recorded any authorized access to this account (via the web interface or using a mail client), the mailbox may be closed.

Of the additional features of the Pochta.ru service, free hosting should be noted. The conditions of this hosting are very modest, there is no support for CGI, PHP, ASP, JSP and other scripts that require execution on the server side. And the amount of space for the site will fit only for a business card site - in total, up to 256 megabytes of data and up to 1000 files can be stored on an FTP server.

In addition, the service offers to use its own file storage with the ability to restrict access by password. The maximum file size, as well as the total size of all uploaded files, should not exceed 16 megabytes.

The most popular Russian free mail service immediately provides a 10 gigabyte mailbox. Mail sizes can be increased many times, and the size of the mailbox increases by 2 gigabytes at a time.

This mail service is fighting not only against spam, but also against spammers who try to use the [email protected] service for their own nefarious purposes. However, this does not mean that mass mailings cannot be performed using a mailbox on Mail.Ru. Distribution of promotional messages by e-mail is possible, but only on the condition that the company or individual who does this has received confirmation of consent to receive such mailings from the addressee. All mail passing through the servers of the Mail.Ru mail service is automatically scanned for viruses by Kaspersky Anti-Virus.

For those who work with e-mail through a browser, [email protected] makes it possible to use the diary. This tool is a handy organizer where you can store various reminders of scheduled meetings, business contacts, etc.

Another handy feature of the service concerns file transfers. Any letter sent from this service can contain up to twenty attachments, with a total volume of up to 30 megabytes. However, if you need to send larger files, this is not a problem. In this case, they will be automatically uploaded to the [email protected] service and sent as links in the message. Using this feature, you can send 20 files with a total volume of up to 20 GB with one letter.

If the letter received on the Mail.Ru mailbox contains a lot of attachments, you can not waste your time downloading each of them separately, but download all the attachments at once, in the form of a single archive.

For those who are concerned about the problem of data confidentiality, and who are afraid that an attacker will find out the password for e-mail and gain access to correspondence, the service provides the ability to protect data with a password. A new folder is created in the mailbox, all important messages are moved to it, after which the access rights to this folder are limited by a password. In case the password is lost, to recover it, you can come up with an additional secret question, the answer to which, of course, will not be known to the attacker. The folder itself with "hidden" data can be made invisible to email clients.

And, finally, another plus of this service is the wide possibilities of formatting messages. You can use up to 136 different emoticons in the text of letters, use bulleted and numbered lists, use a different typeface, background color, etc.

It's no secret that many people use e-mail to receive notifications from various social services - forums, communities, etc. For such users, on the main page of the Yandex.Mail service in the block of the same name, you can see the counter of notifications from several social services at once - Livejournal.com, vkontakte.ru and Odnoklassniki.ru.

The mailbox size on Yandex.Mail is unlimited. After registering the box, its initial volume is 10 gigabytes. When it is more than 98 percent full, the service prompts the user to increase the volume for storing letters by an additional gigabyte. And so - ad infinitum.

A typical attachment when sending letters from Yandex.Mail can take no more than 20 megabytes, however, larger files can also be sent, but using another service - Yandex.People, which any mailbox owner can use for free.

Anti-spam mailbox protection is implemented in several stages. First, when a new message arrives, the obvious garbage is filtered out by the mail service, i.e. messages that are easily identifiable as spam. A characteristic feature of spam, by which the service control determines such messages, is an unadministered sending server. If this fact is detected, the Yandex service will reject the received letter and send a notification to the sender's mail server indicating the reason for the denied access, so that in case of misunderstandings, this problem can be resolved. At the next stage of the scan, emails are scanned for viruses and other unwanted attachments. The scan is performed by the Dr.Web anti-virus program.

In the process of sending a letter, an unpleasant situation may arise when the sender himself does not suspect that the letter he sent contains a virus. Some mail services, when a virus is detected in such a letter, do not let it through. If this letter contained nothing but a virus, such an action by the mail service could be considered justified, but in this case the sender reports some useful information, therefore, after deleting the letter with the attachment, not only the virus, but also the reported useful information in the text. The Yandex.Mail service takes this circumstance into account and acts differently - the message will be rejected only if the letter does not contain text. If there is text, the mail service will mark this letter as infected.

After the message has passed the antivirus scan, a filter starts working that processes new signs of spam - a large number of recipient addresses, the presence of keywords and phrases, etc. Messages that are transferred by the service to the "Spam" folder can be deleted after two weeks.

The mail service provides flexible filter settings - by sender, by message subject, etc. Incoming letters can be sorted, automatically forwarded to other boxes. To save traffic, in the service settings there is an option to disable the display of images in messages.

If you use a mail client to check correspondence, then when downloading messages using the POP3 protocol, an additional X-Spam-Flag: YES mail header will be added to each spam message identified by the protection, and the phrase will be added to the Subject field. To cancel inserting such a header, go to the "Personal settings" section and select "unmark the subject of the letter."

One of the shortest mail domain names is the mail address on the Ukrainian i.ua service. Incoming mail on this service is protected by Kaspersky Anti-Virus. Control of incoming correspondence is carried out by its own anti-spam filter. The developers of the mail service strongly recommend "training" this filter by pointing it to messages with undesirable content. After some time, the filter will be able to work independently, making fewer and fewer errors in the definition of mail garbage.

The mail service works with the POP3 protocol. For some unknown reason, work with the alternative IMAP protocol is not provided, and the resource rules even indicate that such a possibility is not planned in the future. The SMTP service is provided only to VIP users, for an additional fee.

To work with the mail web-interface, you need to have Flash 9 (or higher) installed. If this is not possible for some reason, for normal operation it is necessary to enable the "disable advanced mode for adding files" item in the mail interface settings.

Received letters should not exceed 15 megabytes in size, and you can send a message that does not exceed 10 megabytes. There is a restriction on i.ua servers, which is aimed at combating spammers. Therefore, even users of VIP accounts cannot send a large number of letters using this service in a short period of time.

Mail on i.ua does not live very long - 90 days after the mailbox has not been accessed, it stops receiving messages, and after the same amount of time the mailbox is completely deleted. If, after 180 days, a user is not logged in, their account will be terminated and their account will be available for other users to register. If you try to authorize in an "abandoned" mailbox, the mail can be restored, but the letters deleted by the service by this time will be lost forever.

Conclusion

Providing free e-mail is perhaps the most common service on the Internet. Every second major portal today offers to get a free postal address. However, this issue should not be rushed. The choice of an address for your e-mail should be approached carefully - sometimes the convenience of the web-interface tools hides the unstable operation of the web service, the lack of support for the POP3 protocol, or weak protection against spam. We hope that this test will allow you to avoid mistakes when choosing free mail, and you will not need to start a second and third mailbox just because the first one is filled with spam or does not accept messages.

When choosing a mailbox, a new user puzzles over the name of the future e-mail for a long time, carefully sorting through the account and password options, but does not attach any importance to the choice of service. True, sometimes attempts to pay attention to what kind of emails are present, and their goal is to pick up a sonorous or easy-to-remember domain name. But we should focus on completely different advantages of mail: how stable the service is, the quality of customer support, methods of fighting spam, etc.

Mail.com

There are more than 300 types of domain addresses. In this list, you can find the name of the country, and even the city. Many addresses indicate an attitude to the profession, religion and just fun, for example, "humanoid.net". The mailbox has a capacity of 3 GB and a filter system that allows you to configure settings to combat spam. But, the inability to work in Russian makes this resource unattractive.

Yahoo Mail

It is difficult to choose a concise name, especially since the resource does not immediately check for uniqueness. Although the use of the Russian language is provided, the translation of the names of some instruments is confusing, even for a linguist. Unlimited mailbox size and address book.

Rambler mail

The initial size of the mailbox - 50MB is enough if you do not conduct active correspondence. Further, you can increase daily by 50 MB. The maximum send size is 25 MB. It is convenient to have a virtual Russian-language keyboard.

Google Gmail

Sufficient (1GB) volume of the box and mail (20Mb). Of those mails, it has the most stringent spam control. The service is able to block the user's account if it suspects mailing or other "inappropriate" use of the resource. The fight against spam, in general, is carried out at the level, but sometimes harmless letters are filtered out. And, even if you mark the addressee as trusted, it is not a fact that the system will miss his letter tomorrow without delay.

Gmail.ru

Has nothing to do with Google. Designed to organize free mail for domain name owners with a site traffic of at least 500 visitors a day. But it will not always respond to a request to register a new user for an existing domain.

mail.bigmir.net

Cousin of Google Gmail. The same strict spam control. Nearly 8GB of space for correspondence. Possibility of access from a mobile phone. The only difference is a different domain name.

E-mail.ru

The austere interface and fast loading make for a good initial impression. But any attempts (after registration) to send a letter to another domain address are futile. Attempts to do the opposite also failed.

[email protected]

The fight against spam and spammers is well organized. Letters are checked by antivirus. The volume of the box - 10GB, can be increased. Using the "[email protected]" service, you can send up to 20 files with a volume of up to 20GB at a time. A lot of attachments can be downloaded in one archive. Extensive text formatting options and the additional ability to store materials in a password-protected hidden folder. The most popular of all what mail is on the Russian market.

Each new Internet user one day begins to rack his brains for a long time, coming up with the name of his future e-mail.

When creating a mailbox for the first time, all the concentration, apparently, goes to the login and password, so few people think about the quality of the service itself.

Of course, some users pay attention to the easy-to-remember and sonorous domain name. When choosing a postal service, you can focus primarily on

• service stability,
• methods of dealing with spammers,
• interface convenience,
• availability of additional features that this or that mail provides.

Below we will consider common free mail services, and the choice is yours.

The volume of 10 GB of the mailbox is pleasant, it can still be expanded as letters accumulate. A good fight against spammers, but sometimes spam breaks through, probably due to the popularity of the mail service in Runet.

There are also many nice and convenient additional services, such as "", which allow you to transfer files through the cloud storage among your devices and send files to other people if necessary.

Rice. 1 How to find all its features if you have mail in Mail.ru

If you have Mail.ru mail, then in order to see all its possibilities (all projects, all services), you should:

Formatting of the text in the letter on height. However, for a change, it is sometimes better to send a , rather than a letter, straight from your mailbox.

Known service Answers Mail.Ru.

Those who have their own website will find it useful to know about services such as Mail.Ru Rating and Webmaster's Office. To access them, you must have mail on Mail.Ru.

In my opinion, a convenient and reliable postal service. I like it for safety and capacity, for functionality and convenience. See for yourself. In addition to reliable mail with good spam filters, there are many additional convenient "chips".

This includes the collection of mail from other mailboxes of various services, the ability to link a phone number to mail and receive a mailbox with your own phone number like 79991234567 @ya.ru.

There are Photos, Videos, Internet Meter, as well.

There is a browser - Yandex.Browser, which runs on the same engine as Google Chrome, but has some differences, but what about without them?

Yandex mail domains: yandex and ya

Yandex.Mail has a short domain - this is what comes in the mail name (that is, in the login) immediately after the dog symbol: @. In the following mail name examples

• [email protected],
• [email protected],
• Nadezda @yandex.ru

differences in logins are only in mail domains: mail.ru, gmail.com, yandex.ru. And this, of course, is already different mail, with different services.

As for the Yandex mail domain, it does not matter whether you send a letter to @yandex.ru or @ya.ru, it will still come to one addressee.

Each owner of Yandex.Mail has the opportunity to use, designed to store, transfer and send files.

Of course, if the file is not very large, then you can just send it to the letter.

If the emails contain actual addresses, they become active links, and when you click on them, Yandex.Map opens.

An important service on the Internet is email. It allows you to send and receive letters from all over the world. Email is not just one service. This term combines a wide range of services created by different companies. What kind of emails exist is a rather interesting question for Internet users.

E-mail works a lot. Their similarity lies in receiving and sending letters. However, there are differences between emails. They are associated with the presence of additional functions, the need to pay for the service provided.

The presence of differences suggests what types of e-mail exist. The first type is provider mail. They are created by companies that provide users with access to the Internet. For example, several years ago there was MTS Mail. The service was launched in 2011. Subscribers of this operator could create mailboxes with domains @mymts.ru, @mtsmail.ru free of charge. In 2014, the project ceased to exist.

The second type is the usual free services on the Internet. It is most convenient for residents of our country to use mail from Yandex, Mail.ru, Google (Gmail), Microsoft (Outlook.com). The interface of these services is presented in Russian.

The third type is corporate mail. They differ from ordinary mail in that their address indicates the domain of a particular company, and not the well-known free service. Corporate mails are created in different ways. One of them offers "Yandex". This company provides a free mail creation service with a specific domain. This service can be used by ordinary people, organizations, portals. Corporate mail does not require maintenance. Yandex engineers do the necessary work on their own.

Email from Yandex

Understanding what emails exist, you should first of all pay attention to the Yandex service. It is one of the most popular in our country. The service has been operating since 2000. E-mail has several important advantages:

1. Created reliable protection against virus threats. Dr.Web anti-virus is used to scan emails.
2. Well thought out spam protection. The company has developed a special product. It's called Spam Defense.
3. The volume of the mailbox is not limited. This is a very important plus, because many emails from other companies do not have it.

In e-mail, you can create folders for sorting letters and specify certain rules (from whom to collect letters in this folder, on what topic). Also, the service has several sections for automatic sorting:

• "Communication" for letters from ordinary people.
• "Purchases" for correspondence with online stores.
• "Trips" for letters with booking tickets, hotel rooms.
• "Social networks" for automatic notifications coming, for example, from "VKontakte".

Service from Mail.ru

What e-mails exist in Russia? In addition to Yandex, the list also includes Mail.ru. This service has been in existence since 1998. Today Mail.ru is the most popular mail in Russia. It also provides protection against viruses and spam.

If you look into the settings of this mail, you can see the “Anonymizer” there. This is a young service that started its work in 2015. This service allows you to use an anonymous address. Thanks to the Anonymizer, users protect their main mail from unwanted emails that often begin to arrive after registering on various sites.

Features that made mail from Mail.ru popular

Some people are so interested in Mail.ru that they are not even interested in the question of what kind of email list exists. Popularity is due not only to the above-mentioned pluses. A huge number of people use this service for 2 reasons. Firstly, Mail.ru has a social network "My world". Access to it opens after registration of e-mail. In My World, you can find friends, meet new people, post your own and view other people's photos, play games, etc.

Secondly, the company operates "Mail.ru Agent". This is a special program for instant messaging, making video calls and sending SMS messages. Mail.ru Agent has been released in several versions. One is designed specifically for computers, and the other is designed for mobile devices.

Google Mail Service

The list of all internet emails includes Gmail. This is the name of the Google mail service. It is actively used by citizens of Russia. It is also considered the most popular in the world. Advantages of this mail service:

• the presence of a spam filter;
• availability of a mobile version, on which mail is available in more than 40 languages;
• checking incoming and outgoing mail along with attached files for viruses.

Gmail supports 2-step verification. Any user can enable it at will to enhance the protection of their account. With activated two-step authentication, each time you enter the mail, you need to enter not only the username and password, but also the verification code that comes to the number of the linked phone.

The disadvantage of the Gmail mail service is that the mailbox size is limited. At the time when the service was just created (and this happened in 2004), only 1 GB was available to users for storing letters. However, as the company developed, this figure grew. Since 2015, users have been offered 15 GB and the possibility of increasing up to 30 TB.

Microsoft Outlook.com Mail

The answer to the question of what kind of emails exist may also be Outlook.com. It was created by Microsoft. In the proposed mail, you can specify additional addresses (for example, for shopping, work). The main mail can be used for correspondence with friends. Letters arriving at the main address end up in either the Inbox or Junk Mail. Letters arriving at additional addresses are stored in additional folders.

A few years ago, there were no ads in the mail service. Now it is, but any user can turn it off. The company offers 2 paid mail versions:

• with no ads
• enhanced protection against phishing and malware;
• premium customer support;
• 1 TB of OneDrive cloud storage.

Other benefits of Outlook.com mail

After registering mail, each user has access to the OneDrive cloud storage, which was mentioned above. The free version of Outlook.com only comes with 5 GB. The storage is designed to store various files, photos. It can be used not only through a browser, but also through a special application for a computer.

Microsoft has also developed other services that can be accessed via mail - these are "Tasks", "Calendar". There is access to create files (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.). Skype is built right into the mail, allowing you to correspond with friends, acquaintances, colleagues, relatives, and make calls.

Making free mail

All those e-mails that exist on the Internet and are named above have long had the function of customizing the background. The standard theme can be replaced with a beautiful design. For example, in Yandex mail, there are several dozen topics that set a certain background. You can choose a weather, cartoon, game, children's theme.

Gmail also has a lot of themes for design. It is also possible to install any image. The user can upload a beautiful image from the Internet that he likes, or some personal photo, a memorable frame.

Other free mail

There are other services mentioned above. However, it is impossible to show all emails, as there are several dozens of them. Another example is:

1. ProtonMail. This is Swiss post. It is available in different languages. The Russian language is among them. In Swiss mail, sent and received letters are encrypted with a special algorithm. This feature provides a high level of security.
2. AOL Mail. This is a secure email service. The company that developed it operates in America. The mail service has multilingual support, unlimited capacity. Numerous domain names are supported (@aol.com, @games.com, @love.com and more).
3. GMXMail. A free email service owned by a German company. Its main features are an unlimited mailbox size, spam and virus protection, a contact list in which you can set an address, photo, phone number for each interlocutor.

It is impossible to give a short answer to the question of what kind of e-mails exist. Yes, and you do not need to know all the services. All e-mails perform their basic functions qualitatively, so any of them can be used. It is only recommended that you always write down your login and password, indicate true information about yourself when registering, so as not to lose access from mail in the future and be able to quickly recover from a hack.
