In this tutorial, I will show you how to enter your Mail mail. We will learn how to enter the mail.ru email box on a computer and phone, receive and send letters from it. We will also talk about what to do if there are problems with logging in.

Mail login

Mail Mail is the most popular free e-mail service in RuNet. Through it, you can instantly send and receive letters from any country in the world. They are delivered in a few minutes and, in addition to text, they can also contain files: photos, documents, music and videos.

If you already have a mailbox in Mail, then now I will show you how to enter it correctly. And if there is no such mail yet, then you first need to register in the system. Read about it.

How to enter your mailbox on a computer

You can enter my Mail page from any computer: from a PC, laptop or netbook. Even from someone else's computer: at work, school or in a club.

To do this, open a browser, go to the mail.ru website and enter your login information. Now I will show you how to do it right.

On a note . A browser is a program for the Internet through which you work on the network. It can be Google Chrome, Yandex, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer or another program.

one . Open a new tab.

2. Type mail.ru in the address bar and press the Enter button on your keyboard.

The main page of the Mail.ru site will load. To get into your mail, you need to enter your login information in the rectangle in the upper left corner.

The program may have already filled in your data from a previous login. Then just click on the inscription "Mail". Immediately after that, your box will open.

3 . In the "Box name" line, type the login from your email. The login is the part of the address before the @ sign.

For example, if the mailbox address [email protected], then type ivan.petrov56 in this field. No spaces and no dot at the end.

If the postal address ends not with mail.ru, but with list.ru, or bk.ru, or inbox.ru, then click on the adjacent @mail.ru field and select the desired ending.

four . In the "Password" line, type the code from your mailbox (it will be typed in dots). Then click on the "Login" button.

If you open your mail on someone else's computer, uncheck the "Remember" box.

A personal account will open on the mail.ru website. This is your e-mail Mile. It looks something like this:

On a note . I just showed you the entrance to the mail.ru mail through the browser. But you can work with letters in another way - in a special program (mail client). The most popular such program is Microsoft Outlook. But there are others: Windows Mail, The Bat!, Mozilla Thunderbird, Apple Mail, etc. Read more about setting them up at the link.

How to enter the mail from the phone

On modern mobile phones and tablets, you can fully work with Mail mail. There are two ways to do this - through the browser or through the application.

Login through a browser is when you launch a program for the Internet and go to your email box in it. And the application is a separate program that is installed on the mobile. It is more convenient to work with mail through the application.

Ways to enter mail.ru mail from a smartphone or tablet

Browser Login

one . At the top of the browser, type m.mail.ru and go to this address.

2. Click on the inscription "Mail".

3 . In the "Login" field, type the name of your mailbox before the @ sign. For example, if the title is [email protected], then you need to print ivan.petrov56

In the event that your mailbox does not end with mail.ru, then in the next field, where @mail.ru is written, select the desired ending. It can be @inbox.ru, @list.ru, @bk.ru.

four . In the "Password" field, type the password for the mailbox and click "Login".

If you enter the mail not from your device, but from someone else's, then remove the bird from the "Remember" item.

A list of incoming emails will open. That's all - you have entered the email box!

Mobile app

Working with letters through a browser is convenient, but only if you rarely use mail. Rarely means no more than once a week. In other cases, it is better to use an email client. This is an application that helps you quickly receive and send letters.

But there is another option - the official Mail.ru application. It has more features:

  • Search across all emails in a mailbox
  • Grouping emails by topic
  • You can add multiple mailboxes and quickly switch between them
  • You can add not only Mail boxes, but also other services: Yandex, Gmail, Yahoo, etc.
  • There is an address book, a personal spam filter, notes and much more.

You can download the official Mail.ru application from the links:

Mail.ru mail registration

You need to register only if you do not yet have a mailbox in Mail. After all, registration is the creation of a new email with a new address. If you already have a box, you do not need to register!

one . Open a new tab, type mail.ru in the address bar and press Enter on your keyboard.

3 . Fill in each field of the questionnaire.

Name . Print your name.

Surname . Type your last name.

Date of Birth . Enter the date, month and year of your birth.

Floor . Choose gender - male or female.

Desired postal address. In this line you need to print the name for your future box. You can use both letters and numbers, as well as a period, underscore, or hyphen. But the letters must be typed in the Latin alphabet, because all addresses on the Internet are only English.

Pay attention to the end of the address. Initially, it is @mail.ru, but you can choose another one: @inbox.ru, @list.ru or @bk.ru.

Password . Here you need to type the code with which you will open your box. It must contain English letters and numbers. At least six and without spaces.

Password confirmation. In this line you need to type the same code as in the previous field.

Telephone . Here the site asks to print your mobile number. This is optional, but I highly recommend specifying it. After all, if there are problems with access to the box, the easiest way to restore it will be through the phone.

An example of filling out a registration form

When all fields are filled in, click the "Register" button. The system will ask you to print the numbers from the picture, and then your new email box will open. You can immediately use it - send and receive letters.

Learning to use email

All actions with mail take place in the user's personal account. Through it we receive and send letters, photos and documents.

The mail.ru personal account looks like this:

Folders on the left side:

  • Inbox - here are all received messages.
  • Sent - this is the folder where the sent letters go (they are duplicated in it).
  • Drafts - a folder where your unsent messages are saved. Through this folder, you can restore the letter after a failure.
  • Spam - advertising junk is placed here.
  • Trash - this is where the messages that you have deleted from the mailbox are stored.

The most important folder is the Inbox. All new messages (except spam) get into it. Messages that have not yet been opened are highlighted in bold, and those that have already been opened are highlighted in light blue.

To open a letter, you just need to click on it with the left mouse button.

How to send a letter

To write and send a letter, click on the button that says "Write a letter" in the upper left corner.

A new page will load. In the "To" line, type the email address of the person you want to write the letter to.

On a note . All addresses on the Internet consist of letters of the Latin alphabet (English). Approximately in the middle there is an @ sign, after which the mail site is written. There is no dot at the end. Example: [email protected]

In the subject line, type the subject of the letter, that is, briefly say what it is about or from whom. You can print the topic in Russian letters.

The text of the letter is printed in a large white box. If there is a lot of text, this field will automatically expand (a slider will appear on the side).

After you fill in the required fields, click the "Submit" button once and wait a few seconds. If everything is in order, a page with the inscription "Your letter has been sent" will load. A copy of the email will remain in the Sent Items folder.

How to send a file

To send a photo or document, you need to do everything the same as when sending a regular letter. Namely, fill in the "To", "Subject" field and print the text of the letter.

But just before you click the "Submit" button, you need to add a file inside. To do this, click on the inscription "Attach a file" (under the line "Subject").

A small window will appear. Find in it the photo, document or other file that you want to send, and double-click on it with the left mouse button.

The window will disappear, and the file that you added will be shown in the letter.

The site mail.ru does not open - what to do?

Check if it opens on other devices: on the phone, on another computer. If it opens, then the problem is on your side - most likely it is a virus.

If the Mail does not open anywhere, then in this case we are talking about blocking it.

I wrote in detail about how to solve these problems in the Vkontakte entry article, in the part "What to do with login problems." The principle of action is the same, only wherever vk.com is written you will have mail.ru.

I'm trying to restore access to the mail, but the error "The specified mailbox does not exist" pops up.

Such an error appears in one of two cases: either you make a mistake when entering the address (see), or the mailbox has been deleted.

By the way, according to the rules of the mail.ru site, the administration can delete the address if it has not been used for 6 months.

Is inbox.ru, list.ru and bk.ru mail also Mile?

Yes, these are Mail addresses too. But these are all different consoles, and, therefore, different electronic boxes. That is [email protected][email protected][email protected][email protected]

I didn't find the answer to my question

Try to search in the official help service or ask your question in the comments to the article.

E-mail, in our time, is needed everywhere: make an appointment with a doctor, buy tickets via the Internet, register in social networks. Therefore, I will tell you how to quickly and free of charge create a new mailbox on Mail.ru

Registering a mailbox on Mail.ru

To register, go to the site mail.ru(type in the address bar of the browser). A page will open with a special form in the upper left corner.

Start of registration in mail mail ru

Registering a new mailbox on mail.ru

Page opens Registration. There is nothing difficult in filling out the registration form. First name 1, last name 2, date of birth 3 are required, but no one will check whether you wrote honestly or not. You select your gender by switching the button 4 .

How to choose a mailbox name (postal address)

In the line Desired mailing address 5 , there will be options for email names compiled automatically, taking into account your first name, last name, date of birth. You can choose from the proposed list, or you can choose a good name yourself.

The name must be 4-31 characters long. In addition to Latin (English) letters, you can use numbers, underscores (_), a period, or a hyphen (-), but the mailbox name cannot begin with these characters. Be prepared for the fact that the simple name you want to use is already taken and you will get the answer that "A box with this name already exists".

You can choose a mailbox name in four domains: mail.ru, inbox.ru, list.ru, bk.ru. Your email, depending on this, might look like this: [email protected] , [email protected], [email protected], [email protected].

If a beautiful name is taken in one domain, then check in other domains. To do this, click on the domain that is visible in the box 6 (in my example - bk.ru), a list of four domains will open, and you choose the one you like from the list. When you complete the choice of the name of the mailbox - proceed to enter the password.

How to choose a strong password for your mailbox

If you are going to use e-mail for a long time and for serious purposes, then password 7 must be strong. Russian letters are not allowed. And while we love to use meaningful words, it's best not to. If your password is hacked, you will not only lose your emails, but it will also be difficult for you to get your mailbox back.

The password must be at least 6 characters long, but it must not be all numbers. It must contain English letters, numbers, and symbols (for example: $, %, #). Letters must be used, both lowercase and uppercase. As you type, hints will change to the right of the password: weak password, medium password , strong password . Make sure the password is strong - then you can sleep peacefully!

To make sure that you entered the password correctly, in the next field 8, enter the same password again. After that, immediately write down the name of the electronic mailbox and password in a notebook before you forget!

Enter your mobile phone number

The Phone 9 field must be filled in in case you forget your password and cannot get into your mailbox. Anticipate such a nuisance!

To do this, select your country from the drop-down list and enter your mobile phone number. Within a minute you will receive a message with a confirmation code.

Enter confirmation code

Enter the Code received by SMS in the appropriate field and click the Continue button.

How to register a mailbox without a mobile phone?

If you don't want to indicate your mobile phone number, then click the link I don't have a mobile phone 10 . An additional field will open. Enter an additional e-mail in this field, if you have one, and click the Continue button. . In principle, you can not specify anything, but keep in mind that if the password is cracked or lost, it will be difficult for you to return your mailbox.

When you register mail without a phone number, a window will appear in which you need to enter the code from the picture. I, for such cases, keep a magnifying glass at hand. And, anyway, I have to click the link 2-3 times. I don’t see the code to update the picture to a more legible one!

Registration without a mobile phone

Have you entered a code? Now press the Continue button and you will be in your new mailbox. There you will find 3 letters from the Mail.ru Team with congratulations and recommendations for working with e-mail.

Although no! You will see the contents of your new mailbox, but a settings window will appear in front of it.

Setting up your new mailbox on mail ru in 3 steps

So, I'm showing you how to quickly complete the mail setup.


Step 1: Upload a photo and create a caption

In the first step, a window will appear where you can upload your photo and create a signature that will be inserted into every email you send. After these steps, click the Save button. However, if you don’t have a photo at hand, and you haven’t decided on a signature yet, then click on the Skip button, and you will find yourself on the next step.


Step 2: Choose a subject for your mailbox

The second step is to choose a theme that will decorate the mailbox while you work with letters. After choosing the theme you like, click the Save button. You can click the Skip button - then the Classic theme will remain. As I see it, for most users, this is exactly what remains.


Step 3. Install the mail ru mobile application

The third step is to install a mobile application from Mail.ru. If you register on a smartphone, you can immediately click the App Store or Google play button (depending on your smartphone model) and install the application on your phone.

  4. We receive a confirmation code via SMS.
  5. Let's go to our mailbox.

Hello, dear readers of the blog site. Today I want to continue the conversation about the most popular services, and we are next in line - Mail.ru mail. I won’t say that he is a generator of promising ideas and innovations in ensuring the convenience of working with correspondence, but he is the leader in this market in Runet and this alone deserves respect.

In addition, over the past year and a half, the Mail.ru e-mail development team has expanded significantly and they have managed to implement almost everything useful from the competitors' tools.

Also added is a convenient viewing of photos and office documents attached to letters directly in the web interface, mobile versions and applications, language support, a correspondence collector, a new interface, virus protection and much more.

Although they do not yet have such a high level (two-step authorization using a cell number and trusted computers), they still do not have a similar service, but most users of Mail.ru Mail all this is either not needed, or they never bothered with it at all. Therefore, I offer you an excursion into the possibilities and nuances of this free service, and you will decide whether to use it or not.

The history of creation and the current position of Mail.ru mail

She has been leading her story since the distant 1998 (not much later than that moment,). True, then the project was called Port.ru and assumed the development of a free mail service engine for its subsequent sale abroad (at that time, far from everyone knew us,). However, due to a combination of circumstances, this project was tested in RuNet on the Mail.ru domain and in the very first months of its existence showed phenomenal results in the growth of the number of users.

As you can see from the screenshot, it was then proposed to use Yandex to search the Internet on the Port.ru portal. Later, after moving to a new domain, the owners began to offer their users , while simultaneously developing their own , to which they plan to completely switch in the near future (or have already switched).

Actually, to be surprised at the monstrous popularity of mailboxes from mail.ru it’s not worth it, because at that time Gmail and YaPochta did not exist at all, but there were only bourgeois projects (and), which at that time did not indulge the user with support for the Russian language. The new product with a Russian-language interface was liked and the number of registered mailboxes began to grow exponentially.

My first account was also registered on Mail, because at that time a similar service from Yandex had just appeared (2000) and had not yet gained due popularity, and before the advent of Gmail, I had to wait a few more years. There were no special problems with his work (still not hacked), and after some time, having sat down firmly on the brainchild of Google, I simply set up forwarding from my first mailbox to a new one in Gmail. Until recently, I didn’t even go into the Mail.ru mail interface.

I, as a person who is keenly interested in everything new and promising, quickly moved to Gmail when I was still in its beta testing stage (registration was possible only by invitation). However, the majority of users of this system have remained faithful to it (it works fine) and this is a general trend in the development of this market. Beginners have to rely mainly on the influx of new users, and not on poaching the audience from competitors.

That's why Mail.ru mail service until almost 2011 did not develop much, resting on the laurels of popularity received in the past years, when competition was very weak. However, the gap between their capabilities and those of their competitors widened, and they even began to think about moving.

The owners became worried and decided to invest in the development of the service in order to keep up with the competitors completely hopelessly. The development team was tripled, and in a year and a half everything that I briefly listed at the beginning of the article was issued to the mountain. As a result, the situation has now stabilized and shares of postal giants in Runet stuck in positions like this:

  1. Email Mail.ru - 25 million users
  2. The brainchild of Yandex - 16 million
  3. Still alive - 4 lyama
  4. Gmail - about the same

In the world ranking, the mail service from Mail, although it occupies a modest fifth position, is still an impressive result, especially considering that more than two-thirds of the audience of this giant is concentrated in Russia:

At the moment, about 400 million mailboxes are registered on Mail.ru, 100 of which can be called active (they log in and check their correspondence at least once every three months). And out of this hundred, a whole fifth is accounts whose owners remove mail every day. Monstrous volumes - about three to four thousand letters pass through their data centers in just one second.

On this excursion into the history and reasons stimulating the development of Mail.ru e-mail can be considered complete. It's time to go directly to the description of registration, login, settings and opportunities that this mailbox provides to its users.

Registering a mailbox in Mail.ru (creating an account)

So, let's start by tradition with the registration of the box and the entrance to it. Everything is simple and hassle-free. Go to the registration page and enter your first name and last name, as well as the desired E-mail address, or rather its beginning, in the proposed form fields, because there will be only four endings (@mail.ru, @list.ru, @bk.ru or @inbox.ru):

Please note that in this way you not only create an E-mail in mail.ru, but also get access to all other services of this mega-portal (actually, a universal account).

It would seem that there is nothing difficult here. However, many thousands of mailboxes are hacked precisely because of setting simple passwords that are easy to remember, but at the same time easy to pick up (brute force, for example). There is an erroneous opinion that since you have nothing to steal, then no one will break it.

They will, because there are a number of reasons why mailbox hacking is still relevant and is in demand:

  1. Absolutely any box is valuable for a hacker, because then, together with a bunch of others, it can be sold to spammers who need them to send messages in millions of copies. If you want to help spammers and get your account blocked in Mail.ru, set the password to QWERTY or 123456 mail. Hacking in this and two subsequent cases is carried out automatically by using the database of the most popular combinations or dictionaries.
  2. In a hacked box, you can inadvertently (automatically) find the data of your accounts in social networks, monetary systems, data for accessing websites and other things necessary in the life of a hacker, which can then be sold wholesale or retail (or monetize yourself).

    Even if passwords for these useful things are not found, then it will always be possible to request their recovery, and accounts in most cases will be tied again to this very hacked Email.

  3. You may be blackmailed to return the box or the confidential data stored in it. There are a lot of options, and in this case there will be, as a rule, one payment method - paid SMS.
  4. Well, and the rarest case - you will be broken purposefully by order of ill-wishers or competitors. In this case, only a really strong password and its recovery using an SMS message that will be sent to the cell phone number specified during registration can help.

I hope these arguments have convinced you of the need creating a complex password when registering with Mail.ru. Another thing is that it is not so easy to come up with, let alone remember.

This is where help comes in. A cool program that will generate a complex combination for you and remember it. The main thing is not to forget the password from Kipas himself, and he will already store all the rest (it’s not superfluous to make a backup of the encrypted database with passwords in several places for greater reliability - I personally store it in).

I also strongly advise you not to be shy enter your cell number when registering in Mail.ru-mail, because this will make recovering a lost password a trifle (otherwise you will have to fill out the appropriate form for a long and tedious time or write to support - [email protected]), and withdrawal of your account is almost impossible.

If there are good arguments not to do this, then you will have to click on the link “I don’t have a mobile phone” and, in the old fashioned way, come up with a security question and an answer to it, which, by the way, are easily broken if an attacker starts digging into your social networks or other places, where you could leave information about yourself.

Again, social engineering (or a simple divorce) should not be discounted when, by E-mail or in the same social networks, they can unobtrusively ask you in an innocent form for the answer to your secret question or slip a fake letter supposedly from the mail service with a link to a fake site that will be similar to the Mail.ru mail login form as two drops of water, with the exception of the URL in the address bar of the browser.

From this follows the conclusion - you need to go to the site of the mail service only by clicking on a link from your browser bookmarks or search results.

If you indicated your mobile number in the second step of registration, then after clicking the "Register" button, you will receive an SMS with a confirmation code on your mobile phone, which you will need to enter in the window that opens:

After that, you will be taken to the page of your newly created mailbox and there you will find several messages from the development team. Actually, that's all. It remains only to deal with today's capabilities of [email protected] and see what can be configured there so that reading and writing letters, opening attachment files and doing other things would be easier and more convenient.

Login to Mail.ru-mail - folders, inboxes, filters and ...

As I have mentioned more than once, this service has existed for a very long time and many users have accumulated several mailboxes that were created at different times and for different purposes. You can, of course, assign forwarding or collection of letters to one from all the others (we'll talk about this a little later), so that you don't log in and out of your account every time.

However, not so long ago, the mountain itself approached Magomed, namely, possibility of multiple entry to your Mail.ru accounts. Let's say you first log in to one of your accounts as usual:

Then you can already click on the name of your E-mail in the upper right corner of the window and click on "Add mailbox" to carry out entrance to another mailbox:

After successfully logging into your second account, you can now quickly switch between them by simply clicking on your Email (at the top of the window on the right) and selecting the desired option (or entering another mailbox on Mail.ru):

It turned out to be quite convenient, although it may not be useful to everyone. But now let's talk, in fact, about the atmosphere itself and.

Their new interface turned out to be quite concise and not at all overloaded. The left column displays a list of your folders (initially there will be only five - Inbox, Sent, Drafts, Spam and Trash, but you will be free to do as many as you like) and a couple of pretty handy filters that allow you to show only unread or only marked messages:

It seemed inconvenient to me that the "Settings" button is hidden in the "More" drop-down list and cannot be found right away (although it is duplicated in the upper right corner of the window). When viewing the list of letters in the Inbox (or any other folder), you will see it in front of the sender's name avatar, or the first letter stylized as it from his name.

You don't like it? No problem - from the "View" drop-down list, select the "Compact" option and the extra graphics will disappear.

Letters from the list in Mail.ru can be moved between folders using the "Move" button at the bottom and top of the window, as well as by dragging and dropping with the left button pressed. If you need to move several messages, then just select them with checkmarks. They are first deleted in the Recycle Bin, which can be cleared when you log out of your account, depending on the settings you have made. By the way, there is an option, if necessary, along with all its contents.

It is possible to use Hotkeys. For example, the keyboard shortcut Ctrl and the left or right arrow will allow you to navigate between previous and next letters while viewing them, and the Delete key will send the message you are viewing to the Trash.

All modern mail services use a spam cutter, and almost everywhere it does not work perfectly - it either skips spam or classifies it as quite decent letters. The second option is, of course, much more dangerous. In Mail.ru, the spam cutter works quite tolerably, but in addition to it, there is the possibility of manual filtering.

Mark spam messages with checkboxes in the Inbox or any other folder (except for the Spam folder) and click on one of the "This is spam" button located at the top or bottom:

It is clear that from time to time you still have to look through the Spam folder for lost letters, and whenever you find them there, do not be too lazy to tick each of them and use the “Not spam” button. The spam cutter will learn in this way and make fewer mistakes when filtering correspondence.

I liked how Mail.ru's new electronic interface organizes marking of letters. Many people use the unread filter, both on stationary mail programs and in the web interface. But it’s not always possible to quickly make a message read or unread.

Here it was implemented extremely simply - move the mouse cursor to the letter and you will see an outline of an orange circle in front of it, clicking on which you mark the message as unread(it will be highlighted in bold in the list and preceded by an orange circle):

Second fast a way to mark letters in Mail.ru mail organized with checkboxes. All unread and flagged messages can be viewed using the corresponding filters located in the left column. Simple, but tasteful.

As I mentioned, you are free to add as many new folders to your electronic interface as your heart desires. To do this, it will be enough to click on the link "Set up folders" in the left column under the list of existing ones. As a result, a settings window will open, where you will need to click on the button located at the top "Add Folder":

In the window that opens, you can give the folder a name, define its hierarchy (at the top level or nested in some other of the existing ones), prohibit the removal of mail from it by stationary programs, and even put a password on it, which may not be superfluous to increase security or when several people work with one account (for example, corporate).

Tepericha about filters in the box from Mail.ru- where without them. Actually, they don’t offer us anything beyond outstanding (whether it’s the Gmail case), but on the other hand, the whole thing is extremely clear at the first meeting.

Find "Settings" in the upper right corner of the window and go to the "Filters and Forwarding" section. There will be only one “Add Filter” button, but from its context menu it will be possible to bring to light the “Create Forward” option. However, while we are talking about filters, so just click on the button.

As a result, the filter creation wizard will open, which is quite simple and logical. First you need create conditions, upon fulfillment or non-fulfillment of which (the words “contains” or “does not contain” before the fields with conditions), you will need to take some action. Conditions can be applied to such attributes of letters as the sender (the “from” field), the recipient, the subject of the message, its size, etc.

When writing conditions in Mail.ru mail, you can use the asterisk symbol "*" to replace any number of characters with it, as well as the vertical stick sign "|", which replaces the logical operator "or", allowing you to combine several possible options.

There can be as many conditions as you like, and the action will be performed either on the fulfillment of at least one of them (the option at the bottom of the screenshot “if one of the conditions is met”), or on the fulfillment of all conditions (the option is “if all conditions are met”).

Next, we should explain to the electronic interface, what action should be taken when “bingo” appears according to the conditions specified a little above. The most common option is probably to move a letter that meets the conditions to some folder created specifically for this:

You may want to flag or even delete this email. In addition, you will have the opportunity to forward this correspondence to another e-mail box (in fact, this will be a forwarding option that is not always implemented, but only by condition), as well as reply to it with a pre-prepared "stamp" or apply some other some filter (create a cascade).

Probably, it would be correct to include the contents of the Spam folder in the run through the filters, because messages that are not spam at all can randomly get there too. On the other hand, you can limit the filtering area to a separate folder, which can be selected from the drop-down list. Well, then click on the "Save" button and enjoy the work of the created algorithm.

It will appear in the "Filters and Forwarding" settings section, where you can quickly turn it on or off as needed. There you can set up and forward letters from the mailbox to Mail.ru to your other E-mail in popular mail services. To do this, just select the option "Create forwarding":

In the window that opens, specify the Email address where you want to send all correspondence from this mailbox, and click on "Save". After that, a new line will appear on your page with filters and forwards, but it will be highlighted in red, meaning that all this economy is not involved until you click on the "Confirm" link and enter the code sent to the forwarding E-mail :

When you confirm everything, your correspondence will be sent directly, immediately after arriving to your mailbox in Mail.ru, to the address specified in the forwarding settings.

Other Mail Settings and Options

Although it is not the most sophisticated of all existing ones, some of its features are worth paying attention to. Let me try to arrange it in the form of a list with a common name - what else is good about email from Mail.ru:

  1. Developers take pride in what they provide oversized mailbox, which initially has dimensions of 10 GB. When it is filled, you will be given another two gigabytes of living space each time.
  2. They also talk about the unlimited size of attachments, but here they are definitely cunning, because only files less than 25 MB will be transferred and stored on mail servers, and if this limit is exceeded, attachments will already be stored on the servers of the [email protected] service. This means that in a month they will be deleted, and the size of one attached object still cannot be more than 1 GB.
    1. But there is good news for attachments to letters(sent and received in Mail.ru boxes):

      When you receive a message with attachments, you can directly in the list, click on the paperclip and see their full list with size (weight). When you move the mouse cursor over files with photos, you will see their thumbnails next to them:

      If you click on any attachment file, a new window will open in which you can scroll through them all, and fully view the pictures and office documents. For items that cannot be viewed, a "Download" link will appear.


    2. If a open email with attachments in the electronic interface of Mail.ru, then at the bottom you will find previews of all attached files; the ability to display them as a list or as a tile; and also get the opportunity to download each object individually or all together in one archive, which will significantly increase speed and convenience:

      As I mentioned, when you click on some types of files, they can be view directly in the mail web interface without downloading to your computer. This will be true for presentations, office documents (Word, Excel, Power Point), photos and music.

      If the file is an archive, then the Mail.ru interface will allow you to read the list of objects contained in it, which, if desired, can even be downloaded separately:

    3. Remarkably, all attachment files that have ever been attached to letters can be viewed separately, and if desired, filter only attachments of a certain type by selecting from the top menu "Files", and in the left panel by selecting their type:

      When you create a message in the mail.ru web interface, then to attach files you will have the corresponding button in front of your eyes. Although it will be possible to simply drag the necessary files into the browser window with the mouse. But this is not the main thing.

      From my own experience, I know that most users do not really bother with their weight and size when sending photos, and modern cameras give out simply monstrous resolutions on the mountain. To use, even if allowing, most of us do not like or do not know how.

      This creates an inconvenience for mobile Internet users and, more importantly, creates an increased load, requires a lot of storage space from the servers of Mail.ru itself. Therefore, thinking first of all about their loved ones, they gave us a rather useful, in my opinion, opportunity. automatic photo cropping when attached to a letter:

      On the larger side, they will leave 800 pixels, which can reduce the weight of the photo by an order of magnitude without affecting its quality when viewed on a monitor screen. You only once need to decide on pruning, and in the future it will already be carried out without any questions. Well, and a little bonus - when you move the mouse cursor over the attached photo you can turn it, which again will allow you not to bother with photo editors.

  3. There is support in mail from Mail.ru themes for the electronic interface (at the very bottom of the window there is a link "Themes"), which, in fact, is already the norm for this type of service. But there is also the possibility letters using a fairly large set of templates (the "Style" drop-down list in the upper right part of the form for writing a new message). This can be useful when writing congratulatory or some other special letters:

    A little to the left is a block of buttons for the implementation of the typed text, it or several other languages ​​​​that are supported by mail.ru-mail, as well as for express checking it for errors. It won't be redundant.

  4. All messages and attachments in Mail.ru go through virus check with the help of Kasperych, and all links affixed in letters are analyzed for reliability using the WOT service, which I already mentioned in the description.
  5. Some may like the ability to activate and configure free SMS messaging on your mobile phone when messages arrive in a specific folder in your email. All this is connected in the settings (there is a link to them at the top of the window on the right) in the SMS notification section:


  6. If I'm not mistaken, this system did not have correspondence collector from mailboxes of other popular services (Gmail, Yandex mail, etc.), but there was only the possibility of sending correspondence to them. So, now there is such an opportunity. It is available from the settings in the "Mail from other mailboxes" section:

  7. And finally, I would like to recommend that you go to the password and security settings to indicate the mobile number, if you have not already indicated, or at least enter an additional E-mail, which will allow you to quickly recover a lost or stolen password. With a static one, it will also be possible to bind to this IP:
