How to Use G-Mail?

G-mail is the Google e-mail service. It is not dependent on any e-mail software like Outlook or Mozilla. With this web based e-mail you can access your mail account from any system, anywhere, where there is internet connectivity. Here are some tips on how to use your Gmail account.

The first step towards using G-mail is to create an account. The process is simple and easy. Go to the Google home page and click on create new account tab. This will open up a page that will ask for details like your first name, last name, username, (as chosen by you) and password. Once all these details are given the process of creating an account is over. You can now access all Google features with the username and password you registered.

You can additionally add a signature to the end of every Gmail message you send. By default there is no signature, and it should be turned on if required. Your signature can be any name you wish like your first name alone, nick name or anything according to your whims and fancies. The only criterion is it should be a text and no images can be added as signature.

To turn on signature, just log on to your Gmail account and select settings in the right upper corner of the page. Enter the preferred text in the box available near signature. Confirm and save changes. From now on your signature will be there automatically at the end of every mail message.

Using G-mail is simple and highly powerful. Ensure that you make the best use of it.
