How to create a personal email account

You can creat an email account for free by signing up to one of these web-based email providers:

 

https://accounts.google.com/signin 

https://login.yahoo.com/account/create

https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/microsoft-365/outlook/

https://www.icloud.com/mail/

https://proton.me/mail/pricing

 

To login and view your emails you just need a web browser or you can save the email app to your phone.

It's a good idea to use an email address which is related to who you are "Joe.A.Bloggs2010@..." is much better than "joeyluvsGTA@..."
