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)

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.

06:39	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”.
