Tips & Warnings for Email and Web Surfing
Start collecting the email addresses of people you care about before you sign up for email, and let them know as soon as possible what your new email address will be, so they can add your address to their email address book. Otherwise, any email you send may end up in the trash or the Spam folder.
If you use your email for business, it’s a good idea to have a DIFFERENT email address for personal interactions. There is no rule that you only need ONE email address.
If you are accessing the internet away from your home, ALWAYS close the browser after you are finished. Leaving it open allows the next user to click on the back button or look at the history and read your personal business.
Remember to write down your new email address, your username, if any, your password, and the URL where you go to access your email. It’s easy to think that you’ll remember it, but why take the chance? Write it down.
Starting an E-Mail Address
Step 1 Find the email hosting site that’s right for you.
For example, if you love being organized and you always want to hear about the news, AOL mail is the right one. Or if you want to stay VERY neat and keep track of EVERY email, Outlook Express is good for you (but Outlook Express by Microsoft is NOT on the internet). Keep reserching webmail sites if those are’nt nice sites for the kind of tech-person you are.
Step 2 Find a name that describes you well. Like if you are a model and smart person do ‘modelsmart’@emailhostingsite.com. Keep it as short and sweet as it can get.
Step 3
Think about your hobbies and/or interests! Do you like talking to your friends? Ask them for their email. And if you like fashion then sign up for newsletters from your favorite most stylish brand names. And keep on signing up for newsletters by going on a site you like such as http://www.computerduniya.in and giving your email.
How to Open a Free Email Account
Email is almost a requirement in today’s busy, technological world. Job applications, credit cards, banks, clubs and organizations, all request email. It’s the most convenient way to communicate in writing, and you can send music, pictures, letters, files, and many other applications with it. But perhaps you don’t have internet access at home, or your Internet Service Provider has no email account associated with it, or the email they offer is inadequate.
Things You’ll Need
· INTERNET ACCESS, whether at home or at the library or at a friend’s house, or at a college or other institution
· A UNIQUE NAME for your email address (the email provider will help you with this)
· At least once-a-month ACCESS TO A COMPUTER with internet access
· PAPER AND PENCIL for jotting down passwords, etc.
