Choose one of the web email providers listed above. Look for a "Sign Up" or "New User" button.
Create a new email address. It will include a user name that you create, the @ symbol, and then the email provider's name. For example: JoeBobSmith98@gmail.com or JDoeATX@hotmail.com. Your user name must be unique. If someone already has the user name you want, then you may be given suggestions that you can use instead. Select one of these or try entering another one. You cannot use spaces in your email address but you can use underscores and periods to separate words.
Create a password for the account. The safest passwords are at least 8 characters in length and include letters, numbers and symbols. Your password may be rejected if it doesn't meet the requirements laid out by the provider.
Be sure to write down your new email address and password in a safe place. If you lose your password, you may need to start over and create a new account.
