Www.Gmail.com - Google Mail - Join Gmail For Free

If you need a free email account, you can easily get one with Google. The Google email account is called Google Mail or Gmail. In order to get started you will have to click on Create an account. This will take you to a page where you will have to fill in some information in order to get the Google Mail or GMail Account.

You will have to enter your First Name, your Last Name, and your Desired Login Name. The Desired Login name is very important. This is what you will be providing others with when they ask for you email address. So you should make sure that your Desired Login name is not too long and that it does not have too many numbers. Try to find a name that is simple and easy to remember. This is especially important if you have your own business. You want to make a good impression with your clients so you should provide them with an email address that reflects your company. If your company sells solar cells for example, then you would want to get solarcells@gmail.com. In this way, the name connects to your business. You would not want to give them the email of hotstud@gmail.com. This can definitely be your private email but it would not work for business purposes. Always think about what kind of impression your email will make.

Unfortunately, because there are literally millions of people who have a free Gmail or Google Mail account, finding a good name that nobody else has taken is going to be very difficult. Sometimes you can spend hours going through different configurations of the name that you want. It is amazing how many people have thought of all the different names that you want. And you will be surprised at how many people have your name too.

The next important item is your password. You have to select a password that will be difficult for people to hack into but something that you will remember. There is no point in using a series of random numbers or letters if you will never remember it. It has to be something that will come to you easily but not to others who may want to hack into your account. It definitely should not be your birthday, the name of your spouse, your home address, etc. These are the first things that a hacker will try. Your password must have a minimum of 8 characters.

You will then have to choose a Security Question here. The purpose of the Security Question is to help you when you forget your password. There are four Security Questions that you can choose from. You can also write your own. You will then have the provide an answer to the question. If you provide the correct answer to your security question, you will get your password sent to you.

This leads to the next important item that you will need in order to get your free Gmail account. You will have to provide a recovery email. This is where you will get your password if you forget it. However, if you do not have another email account, you can leave this blank. Finally you will have to provide your location and your birthday. You will then enter the word verification, accept the terms of service and click on I accept. Create my account button.

Great! Now you have a free email account. You should write down your new email address so that you do not forget it. When you are ready to start using your new Gmail account, you will need to go to the Gmail website at www.gmail.com here and login with your username and your password. You are now ready to send your first email.
