Why is it important to create an e-mail address?

Today, the e-mail address is an essential means of digital communication. It enables you to maintain email relations with people all over the world, whether in your personal or professional life.

An e-mail address is also necessary for registering with online sites or services, as it enables you to be identified and to carry out various actions of your choice. Whether you want to obtain information on an insurance contract, talk to your bank advisor or make an online purchase, everything can now be done remotely, via email.

In the business world, the use of email is very common. For example, if you're setting up a new business, you can use it to communicate with your customers, send quotes, follow up remotely, keep a written record of exchanges, and so on.

How do I create a free e-mail address?

Creating an e-mail address is quick, easy and often free. Several platforms allow you to create a free mailbox. Here are a few options:

Gmail

The creation of a Gmail mailbox is automatically linked to the creation of a Google account. If you already have a Google account, simply go to the Gmail service and create your Gmail address by entering your Google login and password. Otherwise, creating a Google account will enable you to access the Gmail address creation service.

Outlook

If you prefer Outlook, go to outlook.com to create your mailbox. Simply choose the e-mail address of your choice ([email protected]), set a password, validate and you're ready to go! You may also be asked to provide additional information, such as your surname, first name and date of birth, to secure the creation of your mailbox.

By creating an Outlook email address, you can access all Outlook functions from anywhere, as long as you have an Internet connection: mailbox, calendar, tasks, contacts.

Yahoo

The Yahoo platform offers numerous services (news, finance, weather, etc.) as well as a messaging service. To register, go to the Yahoo website, click on "create an account" and then on "register". You will then be redirected to a page where you will need to provide the following information:

• First name
• Name
• E-mail address
• Password
• Cell phone number
• Date of birth

Once you've entered your details, click on "Recognize" and "Verify your phone number". You'll need your cell phone to validate your registration, as you'll receive a code by SMS from Yahoo. With Yahoo, you can create your e-mail address in just a few minutes!

Important information

Whether you use Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo or another e-mail platform, it's important to choose a "strong" password. The more different types of characters you use (letters, numbers, punctuation, lowercase, uppercase), the more secure your password will be, and the less likely someone will be able to hack into your mailbox to check your e-mails or try to trick you.
