How to get a free E-Mail account

1. Click on an E-Mail provider at left

2. Find the link that says join or sign up

3. Follow the directions on the screen - User Name - Begin with a letter, and use only letters (a-z), numbers (0-9), the underscore (_), and no spaces
4. You may have to choose something unusual because many user names have already been used. Try adding numbers.

5. Password - usually at least 6-8 characters long, no spaces

6. Secret Question - If you forget your password, the company will ask you for the answer to your secret question. Choose one like "what is my first child's middle name?"
7. There will usually be a section where you must interpret letters from an image and type what you see.
