With the development of technology, human life, on the one hand, becomes more complicated, and on the other hand, it becomes much easier. More recently, 20-30 years ago, sending a letter was a whole procedure: a pen, a piece of paper, an envelope. You write a letter, throw it in Mailbox waiting for an answer. What now? I typed the text, one click, in a few minutes you can already read what the interlocutor sent you. Let's figure out how to send mail via email.
First you need to have a computer, Internet access, your email inbox and the address of the person you want to send a letter to. If you do not have your e-mail, then it's okay. Before the email, let's start it.
There are many free "Yandex", "Mail", "Google", "Rambler", etc. We go to the site of any of them and register a box for ourselves. To this end, click on the button "Registration in the mail" or with a similar name, follow the prompts. After a couple of minutes, the mission will be completed, and now you can proceed directly to the answer to the question of how to send mail by e-mail.
We click on the “Write a letter” button, and a special form for writing a message will open in front of us. Enter the recipient's email address in the "To" field. If this data is already in our address book, then they will appear as the letters are written and will be offered to us to automatically fill out the form. Just click on the desired address that appears.
If you want to send the same letter to other people, then specify them in the "Copy" field. You can enter addresses in the “Hidden” field, and then the recipients will not see and know that this information has been sent to someone else.
Fill in the next column - “Subject”. In it, as briefly as possible, we indicate what this message is about. The recipient must understand what the message is and open it for reading.
Next, in a special field, write the text of your letter. To this end, set the cursor there and start typing. Once you've submitted all your thoughts, click the "Submit" button. That's it, the letter went to the recipient, about which you will receive a notification.
The basic information was given above, When performing this operation, you can change the color of the text and font, as well as enable spell checking, and your message will be error-free.
It is possible, which is very important, to send the file by e-mail. That is, you can attach photos, documents, videos and other information to the letter. And the recipient will be able to view, download and save it on their computer right in the letter.
For this purpose, click the "Attach a file" button, and a form for searching for it will open. With help file manager find what we need and double click. Everything, the necessary file (photo/video/document) is attached to the letter and will go with it to the recipient.
So we answered the question of adding files to it. Now you can forget about envelopes and be sure that your letter will reach the addressee in an instant.
In modern realities, most Internet users use e-mail, regardless of age categories. Because of this, the correct handling of mail is essential for any person with a clear need for the Internet and communication.
The process of writing and then sending messages using any mail services is the first thing that every user needs to be familiar with. Further in the course of the article, we will disclose the topic of sending letters by e-mail with some detailed clarifications.
In addition to the above, it is worth noting that almost every mail service, although it has unique features, the main functionality still remains unchanged. This, in turn, will allow you, as a user, to easily resolve difficulties when sending mail.
Remember that each sent message reaches the address almost instantly. Thus, it is not possible to edit or delete an email after it has been sent.
Yandex Mail
The Yandex mail service has been demonstrating excellent stability in the operation of the mail forwarding system for many years. Consequently, given E-Mail is the most recommended at least of the Russian-language resources of this variety.
We have already touched upon the topic of creating and further sending messages in the corresponding article on the site.
- open home page e-mail from Yandex and perform authorization.
- Find the button in the upper right corner of the screen "Write".
- In the graph "From whom" you can manually change your name as a sender, as well as change the display style of the official Yandex.Mail domain.
- Fill in the field "To whom" according to the address Email the right person.
- If required, at your own discretion, you can fill in the field "Subject".
- Be sure to enter the message to be sent in the main text field.
- To facilitate subsequent communication, it is recommended to activate the internal notification system.
- After completing the message, click the button "Send".
The automatic system of this service will help you with entering the full E-Mail.
The maximum size of the letter, as well as design restrictions, have extremely blurry frames.
Please note that Yandex.Mail, like other similar services, provides the ability to automatic sending emails after a predefined period of time. In this case, the frames can be set in full accordance with all possible preferences of the sender.
In the process of editing, in case of unstable operation of the service when writing large letters, drafts are automatically saved. You can find them and continue sending later in the appropriate section through the navigation menu of the mailbox.
This is where all the existing capabilities of Yandex.Mail regarding the procedure for writing and sending letters end.
Mail.ru
If we compare the Mail.ru mail service in terms of its capabilities with other similar resources, then the only noteworthy detail is the fact that high level data security. Otherwise, all actions, in particular, writing letters, do not stand out for something special.
- After completing the authorization procedure, go to the mailbox.
- In the upper left corner of the screen under the main logo of the site, click on the button "Write a letter".
- Text column "To whom" must be filled in according to the full E-Mail address of the recipient.
- You can also add another recipient using the functionality automatic creation copy of the message.
- In the next presented column "Subject" add short description reasons for applying.
- If necessary, you can upload additional documents using the local data storage, or other previously received saved text messages with files.
- The main text block on the page, located under the toolbar, must be filled with the text of the appeal.
- Here, again, you can set up a system of notifications, reminders, as well as sending a letter in a certain period of time.
- Having finished filling in the required blocks, in the upper left corner above the field "To whom" click the button "Send".
- Upon sending, the recipient will receive the mail instantly if his mailbox allows it to be received properly.
The type of addressee's mail used does not matter, since any mail services interact perfectly with each other.
The field can be left blank, but in this situation, the meaning of sending mail is lost.
As you can see, a mailbox from Mail.ru does not differ much from Yandex and is not capable of causing any particular difficulties during operation.
gmail
The mail service from Google, unlike the previously mentioned resources, has a unique interface structure, which is why beginners often have difficulty mastering the basic features. However, in this case, you just need to carefully read every detail on the screen, including tooltips.
In addition to the above, it is important to draw your attention to the fact that Gmail can often become the only working email service. This concerns most of all specifically the registration of an account on different sites, since the message processing system implemented here actively interacts with other E-Mails.
- Open the official website of the mail service from Google and sign in.
- In the left part of the Internet browser window, above the main block with the navigation menu, find and use the button "Write".
- Now in the lower right part of the page you will be presented with a basic form for creating a letter, which can be expanded to full screen.
- Enter in the text field "To whom" E-Mail addresses of people to whom you want to send this letter.
- Count "Subject", as before, is filled in when clearly necessary in order to clarify the reasons for sending mail.
- Fill in the main text field in accordance with your ideas, not forgetting to use the service's capabilities regarding the design of the sent mail.
- Note that the message is self-saved when edited and notifies you of this.
- Click on the button to send mail. "Send" in the lower left corner of the active window.
- Upon sending the mail, you will be provided with a notification.
For multiple message forwarding, use space separation between each specified destination.
Gmail, as you can see, is aimed more at work than for communicating with other people through mail.
Rambler
Electronic mail Rambler box has a design style very similar to Mail.ru, but in this case the interface does not provide some features. In this regard, this mail is more suitable for communicating with users, and not for organizing a workspace or mailing.
- First of all, login to the official website Rambler mail and complete the registration followed by authorization.
- Immediately below the top navigation bar for the services of the Rambler site, find the button "Write a letter" and click on it.
- Add to text box "To whom" E-Mail addresses of all recipients, regardless of the domain name.
- To the block "Subject" insert a short description of the reasons for the appeal.
- Complete the main part of the message creation interface as you wish, using the toolbar if necessary.
- If necessary, add any attachments using the button "Attach file".
- When you're done creating an appeal, click on the button with the caption "To send a letter" at the bottom left of the web browser window.
- With the proper approach to creating a message, it will be successfully sent.
As you can see, during the operation of the service, difficulties can be avoided by following the basic recommendations.
In conclusion, to everything said in this article, it is important to mention that each mail has a not very different functionality for responding to messages once sent. In this case, the creation of the answer is made in a specially designated editor, which, among other things, contains an early letter from the sender.
We hope you managed to figure out the possibilities of creating and sending letters through common mail services.
If you need to send copies of some letters in Mail.ru mail to another mailbox (email), i.e. send not all mail, but only the one that comes from a specific address or contains some specific words, then according to this detailed instructions“ ” setting will take 3 minutes.
Step 1. In the mail, we find the desired letter in the "Inbox" and mark it with a checkmark, then in the "More" drop-down menu, select "Create filter":
Step 2 A page with a lot of filter settings will open, in order to set up a filter for sending some letters to another email, put a tick in the first line “From” and insert the address or part of it from which these letters come from in the column opposite. In the second paragraph, we indicate the address to which copies should be sent. In the third paragraph, indicate what to do with the received letter in your mail. Next, enter your email password and click "Add Filter": 
Step 3 Now a letter with a confirmation code is automatically sent to the address you specified, this code must be entered in the appropriate field, which you will find in the left menu "Filters". The top line will be an unverified forwarding address, click on this link and you will see a field to paste the code:
After setting up, the specified letters will come to you and to the address that you indicated and confirmed with the code. To set up forwarding all incoming mail use another .
And permissions.
Probably, you have already noticed that when you receive letters from some authors, in the "to" section there is a list of several dozen emails of different people. Moreover, neither you nor these people gave their consent to the fact that these emails were “exposed”. Naturally, one of the recipients will unsubscribe from this mailing (we are all tired of the flow of spam to our mails). But one thing is certain - all recipients will treat the author of the mailing list as a non-professional person. And they are unlikely to agree to accept his proposal.
How to do so, so as not to send a letter to each addressee separately and at the same time "not to shine all in front of everyone"?
Almost any mail service allows you to do this.
Let's consider this possibility on the example of the most popular email for business mailings gmail.com
Usually, you use the Compose window to send a letter. By clicking on it, you see a new "New Message" window, into which you insert everything you need to create and send the letter itself.
In the "Recipients" window, we usually insert the emails of our recipients.
What if there are several? When you insert your cursor into this window, two more options automatically appear: send a copy and a blind copy.
Copy means "exact copy". This field is used when you just want to send an email to someone who is not the primary recipient.
Bcc, on the other hand, means "exact hidden copy". It works the same as Cc, but this field hides all recipient addresses.
Thus, using this field is one of the better ways send a letter to a large number of people and keep confidentiality. So, do not spoil the relationship with them. Using this feature, you can insert up to 30 emails. And this means that with one click of a button you can send this letter to 30 recipients at once, without showing their emails.
And then in the "Subject" window you need to write the subject of the letter ( 1
). It should be concise, but at the same time accurately inform the recipient about the essence of the message.
In the next window, paste the text of the letter itself ( 2
). Here you can edit it, format it, change the font, font size, appearance, color, apply numbered or bulleted lists, highlight quotes, and so on ( 3
).
And, if necessary, you can insert an image into the body of the letter ( 4
) or attach a file ( 5
).
This mail gives maximum amount editing options.
Similarly, you can send a letter to several recipients at the same time by mail yandex.ru.
Only there are fewer opportunities for editing the text of a letter on this mail. Therefore, I will only show the procedure for sending letters.
Click on "Write" and then in the "To" window ( 1
) paste the email address of the first recipient, and then select the "Copy" function ( 2
) or Bcc ( 3
). Depending on whether you want all recipients of your letter to see all emails or retain their right to confidentiality of addresses, choose one of the functions. To add each next email to the list, you must click on the button with the image of a man with a plus sign in front of him ( 4
). Then you can select your permanent recipients from the drop-down list or enter their emails manually.
And then, as usual: write the subject of the letter in the "Subject" window and insert the text of the letter itself.
Pictures can be downloaded from Yandex Disk and files can be attached too, as usual.
The mail.ru service offers you almost the same thing.
Click on the "Write" button, a window appears in which, when you click the mouse in the "To" window ( 1
), a drop-down list appears with a list of your permanent recipients ( 2
). You can choose from this list what you want. Or just insert the desired recipient's email address manually.
If you need to send this letter to a whole group of recipients at once, then choose one of two functions: "Copy" or "Bcc".
To do this, click on the button at the very beginning of the window for email recipients ( 1
) and in the drop-down list ( 2
) choose what you want ( 3
or 4
).
This mail allows you to attach files to the letter ( 1
) and edit the text of the letter itself ( 2
). Approximately in the same volume as the mail on yandex.ru.
That, perhaps, is all I wanted to tell you about today.
I hope that these little tweaks will help you not only save your time, but also not violate the privacy of those people who have entrusted you with their email addresses. Always think about the safety of those people who have trusted you. Be professional!

According to various sources, from 50 to 95% of all emails in the world - spam from cyber scammers. The goals of sending such letters are simple: infect the recipient's computer with a virus, steal user passwords, force a person to transfer money “to charity”, enter personal data bank card or send scans of documents.
Spam is often annoying at first sight: crooked layout, automatically translated text, password entry forms right in the subject line. But there are malicious letters that look decent, subtly play on a person's emotions and do not raise doubts about their veracity.
The article will talk about 4 types of fraudulent letters, which are most often followed by Russians.
1. Letters from “government organizations”
Fraudsters can pretend to be tax, the Pension Fund, Rospotrebnadzor, sanitary and epidemiological station and other government organizations. For persuasiveness, watermarks, scans of seals and state symbols are inserted into the letter. Most often, the task of criminals is to scare a person and convince him to open a file with a virus in an attachment.
Usually it is a ransomware or a Windows blocker that disables the computer and requires you to send a paid SMS to resume work. A malicious file can be disguised as a court order or a subpoena to call the head of the organization.
Fear and curiosity turn off the user's consciousness. Accountants' forums describe cases when employees of organizations brought files with viruses to their home computers, as they could not open them in the office due to antivirus.
Sometimes scammers ask you to send documents in response to a letter in order to collect information about the company that will be useful for other fraud schemes. Last year, a group of scammers managed to scam a lot of people by using the "fax paper request" distraction.
When an accountant or manager read this, he immediately cursed the tax office, “There are mammoths sitting there, e-mine!” and switched his thoughts from the letter itself to the solution technical problems with dispatch.
2. Letters from "banks"
Windows blockers and ransomware can hide in fake letters not only from government organizations, but also from banks. The messages “A loan has been taken in your name, check out the lawsuit” can really scare and cause a great desire to open the file.
Also, a person can be persuaded to enter a false Personal Area, offering to see the accrued bonuses or receive a prize that he won in the Sberbank Lottery.
Less often, scammers send invoices to pay service fees and additional interest on a loan, for 50-200 rubles, which are easier to pay than to deal with.
3. Letters from "colleagues"/"partners"
Some people receive dozens of business letters with documents during the working day. With such a load, you can easily fall for the "Re:" tag in the subject line and forget that you have not corresponded with this person yet.
Especially if the poisoner field says "Alexander Ivanov", "Ekaterina Smirnova" or any simple Russian name that absolutely does not linger in the memory of a person who constantly works with people.
If the goal of fraudsters is not to collect SMS payments for unlocking Windows, but to harm a particular company, then letters with viruses and phishing links can be sent on behalf of real employees. A list of employees can be collected in social networks or viewed on the company's website.
If a person sees a letter in the mailbox from a person from a neighboring department, then he doesn’t look closely at it, he can even ignore antivirus warnings and open the file no matter what.
4. Letters from Google/Yandex/Mail
Google sometimes sends emails to owners Gmail boxes that someone tried to log into your account or that Google Drive has run out of space. Fraudsters successfully copy them and force users to enter passwords on fake sites.
Fake letters from the "administration of the service" are also received by users of Yandex.Mail, Mail.ru and other mail services. Standard legends are: “your address has been blacklisted”, “password has expired”, “all emails from your address will be added to the spam folder”, “look at the list of undelivered emails”. As in the previous three paragraphs, the main weapons of criminals are the fear and curiosity of users.
How to protect yourself?
Install an antivirus on all your devices to automatically block malicious files. If for some reason you do not want to use it, then check all at least a little suspicious mail attachments on virustotal.com
Never enter passwords manually. Use password managers on all devices. They will never offer you the option of passwords to enter on fake sites. If for some reason you do not want to use them, then manually type the URL of the page on which you are going to enter the password. This applies to all operating systems.
Wherever possible, enable SMS password verification or two-factor authentication. And of course, it is worth remembering that you cannot send scans of documents, passport data and transfer money to strangers.
Perhaps many of the readers, when looking at the screenshots of letters, thought: “Am I a fool to open files from such letters? From a mile away you can see that this is a set-up. I won't bother with a password manager and two-factor authentication. I'll just be careful."
Yes, most of the fraudulent emails can be exposed by eye. But this does not apply when the attack is directed specifically at you.
The most dangerous spam is personal
If a jealous wife wants to read her husband's mail, then Google will offer her dozens of sites that offer the service "Hacking mail and profiles in social networks without prepayment."
The scheme of their work is simple: they send high-quality phishing emails to a person, which are carefully composed, neatly laid out and take into account the personal characteristics of a person. Such scammers sincerely try to hook a specific victim. Find out from the customer her social circle, tastes, weak spots. It may take an hour or more to develop an attack on a specific person, but the effort pays off.
If the victim is caught, they send the customer a screen of the box and ask them to pay (the average price is about $100) for their services. After the receipt of money, they send a password from the box or an archive with all letters.
It often happens that when a person receives a letter with a link to the file "Compromising evidence video on Tanya Kotova" (hidden keylogger) from his brother, he is filled with curiosity. If the letter is provided with a text with details that are known to a limited circle of people, then the person immediately denies the possibility that the brother could have been hacked or that someone else is pretending to be him. The victim relaxes and disables the goddamn antivirus to open the file.
Such services can be accessed not only by jealous wives, but also by unscrupulous competitors. In such cases, the price tag is higher and the methods are thinner.
Do not rely on your attentiveness and common sense. Just in case, let an emotionless antivirus and a password manager insure you.
P.S. Why do spammers write such “stupid” emails?
Carefully crafted scam emails are a relative rarity. If you go to the spam folder, you can have fun from the heart. What kind of characters are not invented by scammers to extort money: the director of the FBI, the heroine of the Game of Thrones series, a clairvoyant who was sent to you by higher powers and he wants to tell the secret of your future for $ 15 dollars, a killer who ordered you, but he sincerely offers to pay off .
An abundance of exclamation marks, buttons in the body of the letter, a strange sender's address, an unnamed greeting, automatic translation, gross errors in the text, a clear overkill of creativity - letters in the spam folder simply "scream" about their dark origin.
Why do scammers who send their messages to millions of recipients not want to spend a couple of hours writing a neat letter and spare 20 bucks for a translator to increase the response of the audience?
In a Microsoft study Why do Nigerian Scammers Say They are from Nigeria? the question "Why do scammers continue to send letters on behalf of billionaires from Nigeria, when the general public has known about 'Nigerian letters' for 20 years," is deeply analyzed. According to statistics, more than 99.99% of recipients ignore such spam.
But one out of 10 thousand is underway and this person is an ideal victim who is completely divorced from reality and does not know how to use search engines. At risk are the mentally ill, and people who suffer from drug addiction and alcoholism in severe form.
A spammer who trades in extortion absolutely does not need relatively normal people to answer his letters. All of them will not transfer the money, but will simply distract with questions. He needs contacts of reference weirdos who will gladly send Daenerys $ 500, because the squirrel in their head approves of this.
Of these priceless specimens, the most solvent ones are selected and subjected to careful personal psychological processing. For example, a 50-year-old woman from the Kamchatka Territory recently translated 4.5 million rubles to the American military who found her in Odnoklassniki, fell in love, promised to marry, but after three months
