Wk 1 Gmail

For the purpose of this course we want everyone to have a gmail email account if you don’t already have one. This will prove very useful anyway and you can forward messages to your existing email account if you have one.

1. Use tabbed browsing. This means IE7 or Firefox. FIREFOX IS PREFERABLE
2. Right click on this long and select open link in new tab to Go to http://mail.google.com/
3. Click on “Create a new gmail account”
4. Fill in the details. IF YOU DON’T HAVE A SECONDARY EMAIL ADDRESS TO FILL IN ASK ME AND I WILL GIVE YOU ONE
5. If you already have an existing (and perhaps preferred) email account you can make sure any messages to this new account reach you.
6. Log onto your email and Click on “Settings” in the top right hand side.
7. Click on the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab and enter the address of your other email account.
