| 00:01 | Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on Introduction to Gmail. |
| 00:06 | In this tutorial, we will learn to- |
| 00:09 | Create a new google account |
| 00:12 | Login to gmail using the google account |
| 00:16 | Write an email |
| 00:18 | Send an email |
| 00:20 | View an email and |
| 00:22 | logout of gmail. |
| 00:24 | We will also learn about some of the important mailboxes like Inbox. |
| 00:30 | For this tutorial, you will need - a working Internet connection |
| 00:35 | and a web browser. |
| 00:37 | For demonstration, I will be using Firefox web browser. |
| 00:42 | Lately, Google has provided a single account for all Google products like: |
| 00:48 | Gmail YouTube |
| 00:50 | Google Play Google Docs/Drive |
| 00:53 | Google Calendar.... and more. |
| 00:57 | So, with the same login, you can operate any of these. |
| 01:02 | Let's begin by creating a new google account. |
| 01:06 | Open your web browser and type: http colon slash slash gmail dot com (http://gmail.com). |
| 01:16 | It will take us to the page where we can see 2 options at the top right- |
| 01:22 | Create an account and Sign in. |
| 01:25 | If this is the first time this page is accessed from your machine, it will look like this. |
| 01:32 | If this page has already been accessed from your machine, then the page will look like this. |
| 01:39 | So, you will see text-boxes to enter your email username and password. |
| 01:46 | And a big button that says Sign In. |
| 01:50 | Below this, you will see a link that says Create an account. |
| 01:55 | Let's click on the Create an account link. |
| 01:59 | We are now in the Google Account creation page. |
| 02:03 | We can see a form on the right, wherein we have to fill our account and personal details. |
| 02:11 | Let's enter our first and last names in the respective text-boxes. |
| 02:17 | I will give my name as Rebecca Raymond. |
| 02:23 | Next, we have to choose our username. |
| 02:27 | Username has to be unique and can be made up of alphabets or alpha-numeric combinations. |
| 02:37 | Let's give the username as "becky0808". |
| 02:43 | If the username is already taken, we will see the following message: |
| 02:49 | “Someone already has that user name, Try another”. |
| 02:54 | Google will also suggest some usernames based on the first and last names we have given. |
| 03:01 | We can give any username of our choice and check for availability. |
| 03:07 | Now, I will give the username as ray.becky.0808. |
| 03:18 | This goes through which indicates this username is available. |
| 03:24 | Now, we have to create a password for this account. |
| 03:30 | The information box on the left tells us how long the password should be. |
| 03:36 | Type a suitable password of your choice. |
| 03:41 | Then re-type the password to confirm it. |
| 03:44 | After this comes Birthday. |
| 03:48 | Select the month from the drop-down. |
| 03:51 | Then type the day and year in the respective text boxes. |
| 03:57 | Now select your gender. |
| 04:00 | I am selecting Female. |
| 04:03 | The next field is Mobile phone. |
| 04:06 | I will skip this for now. |
| 04:08 | After this, is a text box that asks for our current email address. |
| 04:14 | If you have an alternate email address, apart from the one you are creating now, type it here. |
| 04:21 | If you don't, leave it as blank. |
| 04:23 | Let's fill the remaining details now. |
| 04:26 | The next segment “Prove you're not a robot” has 2 verification steps. |
| 04:32 | Phone verification |
| 04:34 | Puzzle verification. |
| 04:36 | We can proceed with any one of these 2 options. |
| 04:40 | I will go with the puzzle verification. |
| 04:43 | Type the text/number shown in the image, in the Type the text text-box. |
| 04:49 | The country where you are located is displayed, by default, in the Location drop-down. |
| 04:55 | I am located in India. So, India is shown in my Location drop-down. |
| 05:02 | Lastly, click on I agree to the Google Terms of service and Privacy Policy check-box, to check it. |
| 05:10 | Once all the details are filled in the form, we have to click on Next Step button. |
| 05:17 | Right now, we will not do so. |
| 05:20 | Let us see what to do, if we select “Phone Verification”. |
| 05:25 | Click on the “Skip this verification (Phone Verification may be required)” check-box. |
| 05:32 | Choose the location as India (भारत) |
| 05:35 | Then click on I agree to the Google Terms and Privacy Policy check-box. |
| 05:41 | And lastly, click on Next Step. |
| 05:45 | It will divert to the Phone verification page. |
| 05:50 | Select a country flag from the dropdown, I am selecting India. |
| 05:55 | Enter your mobile number in the text box provided. |
| 06:00 | Select Text message (SMS) option. Usually, it will be selected by default. |
| 06:07 | Then click on Continue button. |
| 06:10 | You will receive an SMS on your phone. |
| 06:13 | It will now take you to the next part of the verification. |
| 06:17 | Type the verification code you received from Google via SMS, in the text box provided. |
| 06:24 | Click on Continue. |
| 06:27 | We are now in the 'Create your public Google+ profile' page. |
| 06:32 | Here, you can see your name. |
| 06:35 | Below this, there is an option to “Add a photo”. |
| 06:39 | You can click on this to add a photo for your Google profile. |
| 06:44 | There is also a button named “Create your profile”. |
| 06:48 | For the time being, I'm skipping these steps. |
| 06:51 | Instead, I will click on No Thanks button to proceed to my email account. |
| 06:58 | Now, we are in the welcome page. |
| 07:02 | And in my case, it says “ Welcome, Rebecca”. |
| 07:06 | My new email address ray.becky.0808@gmail.com is also displayed. |
| 07:16 | Now, click on Continue to Gmail button. |
| 07:22 | It will start loading your mail account. |
| 07:24 | Based on your internet speed this may take some time. |
| 07:28 | If our internet is slow, we can click on Load basic HTML. |
| 07:33 | It is available at the right side bottom. |
| 07:37 | It will load gmail without any graphical look. |
| 07:41 | Some information boxes will pop-up on the screen. |
| 07:46 | Read them or explore further by clicking on the Next button and then close them. |
| 07:53 | This is the default or Standard view of your gmail account. |
