Revision as of 18:11, 23 June 2015

Time
Narration
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
00:49 * YouTube
00:50 * Google Play
00:51 * 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 you 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.
07:58 The center display area is where we can see all our mails.
08:04 Notice there are three tabs here. We will learn about them in detail, in future tutorials.
08:12 On the left side, we can see some labeled menu items.
08:16 Inbox, Starred, Sent Mail, Drafts, and More are some of the prominent mailboxes of Gmail.
08:29 By default, Inbox is selected and its contents are shown in the display area.
08:36 Notice that Inbox has no. 3 in brackets.
08:41 This indicates the number of new mails that you have received.
08:46 When we create a new google account, we get some mails from the Gmail Team.
08:52 You can read them for more information on how to use Gmail features.
08:58 Now, let's learn how to write an email.
09:02 Click on the COMPOSE button on the left-hand side.
09:06 A window with the name New Message opens up.
09:10 It has four segments.
09:13 To – is the place where we type the email address of the person to whom we want to send the email.


09:21 Here, I'll type the same email-id that we created just now, i.e. ray.becky.0808@gmail.com
09:35 It means that I'm sending a mail to myself.
09:39 Next segment is Subject.
09:42 Here, we can type the brief subject line about the mail.
09:46 Let's say “Welcome mail”.
09:50 Next is the content area.
09:53 Here we have to write our message that we want to send.
09:57 Let's type, “Greetings to all from the Spoken Tutorial Project”.
10:03 In the last segment, there is a blue button that says Send.
10:08 Click on it to send the email.
10:11 Notice the number of mails in the Inbox is now 4.
10:16 To read a particular mail, simply click on it.
10:20 Here is the mail I sent to myself.
10:23 Let's have a look at it.
10:26 Click on the Show Details arrow.
10:29 Here are the email addresses of the sender and receiver.
10:34 Here is the date and time when the email was sent.
10:39 Here is the subject line of the email.
10:43 And the content is here.
10:47 Now, notice that the number of unread emails in the Inbox is 3.
10:54 Now, let us learn how to sign out from Gmail.
10:58 At the top right, you will see your email-id.
11:03 If you had uploaded a photo during account creation then you will see that, here, instead.
11:08 Click on it.
11:10 Here is the Sign Out button. Just click on it to sign out.
11:17 You have successfully signed out of Gmail.
11:21 This brings to the end of this tutorial.
11:25 Let us summarize. We learnt to-
11:28 * Create a new google account
11:31 * Login to gmail using the google account
