Follow all the instructions on the page, filling out all the needed details. In some cases, you may feel uncomfortable letting out certain information. Don't worry, most of the time email accounts do not need information such as telephone and street address, and you can skip these completely.
4

Read over the service agreement and click the box saying that you agree to abide by the email system's rules. Once completed, click on the Submit or Enter button at the bottom of the screen.
5

Congratulations! You have now created an email address. Continue on to import your contacts, message with friends, or write emails, plus much more.

1
Tell your friends and family about your new email, gather their information and add them to your contacts list. Note that many email accounts nowadays save your contacts automatically when you send email to or receive email from a person or institution.
- To bring up contacts, find the contacts tab or simply type in the first or last name of the person you want to email, or the beginning of their email address. Their email address and contact information should automatically pop up.
  - This often means you don't have to "save" someone as a contact in order to send them an email.
2

Import your contacts if you're changing email accounts. Navigate to your Contacts tab, and find the import button; then follow any directions that follow. Usually it's as easy as dragging and dropping a .CSV file into your browser window.

Find the "Compose" button once logged in to your email account. It shouldn't be too hard to find; often it's a different-colored button.
2
Type in the email address of the person you want to send an email to. If you don't remember the person's email address but have previously sent them an email, your account might recognize the saved email address if you begin to type in their name.
- If you want to copy a person on the email, hit "CC," which stands for "carbon copy."
- If you want to copy a person on the email without the original recipient knowing that you've copied the email, hit "BCC," which stands for "blind carbon copy."
3

Include a subject. This is what the email is about or concerning.
4

Type the message, or body, of your email. This is your communication or what you want to explain to the other person.
5

After double-checking for errors, click "Send. " Make sure your contact's email address is correct, and that your message contains no spelling mistakes or formatting errors. Send your email.

Question

What are the different components of an email?

Formally, the components of an email are much like those of a letter. You have a greeting or acknowledgement followed by a comma, then the body, then the salutations and signature. Informally, you really don't need to use a particular structure. If you need to send a file or picture, you'll have to use the attachment function.
Question

How do I create an email?

There is a circle at the top left of Google. Click that, and it will pop up (Create Account).
Question

How do I remake an email account?

If there is something wrong with your current email, change it. You could go in your email account section and make changes, or you could create a new email account all together.
Question

How do I create an e-mail account?

Go to any website for email, enter your information and register your account.
Question

Can I create an email address with a smart phone if I do not have access to a computer?

Yes, you can.
Question

How old do I have to be to have an email?

Usually, you have to be at least 13 years old, but email services such as Yahoo! and Outlook have no age limit.
Question

What if I'm 12 and want an email?

Then, if you ask for your parents permission you can get them to help you make an email. Failing that, you can just lie about your age and put 13 or whatever the age limit is to make the account. Nobody can check, and trust me plenty of people do it (and have done it), including myself.

Thanks for submitting a tip for review!

Don't be too desperate if your inbox is empty. It takes time to get emails.
Make your e-mail easy to remember.
Don't send e-mails to people you don't know.
Do not delay your email because when you check again,your inbox may be too full!
Do not waste your email by checking every 2-4 months or so,because a lot of email service providers shut down your account after a certain amount of time that your account has been inactive. But the least that you could do to make sure that your account stays active,is to check it every month.
Don't keep constantly checking your new email for a new message. This will only make you more desperate for mail.
Don't be too desperate about emailing. People have lives and may not reply to every tiny email.
