Gmail is an email service provided by search engine giant Google.com. When Gmail was first created, users could only create a Gmail account ID if they were invited by someone else that already had Gmail, but as its popularity has increased, Gmail opened its doors to all comers. Now you can make a new Gmail email address at any time, even if you already have an existing Gmail account.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Visit the Gmail account login page (see Resources).

  2. Step 2

    Click on the "Create an Account" button at the bottom right corner of the screen. You can also click "About Gmail," and "New Features" to find additional information about the Gmail service.

  3. Step 3

    Fill out the information on the "Create an Account" page as accurately as possible. You will have to choose your desired Gmail account ID, a password and a security question for the password. Enter a user verification number and agree to the terms of service, program policy and privacy policy. (Links to these policies will be provided on the sign up page). After entering your desired account ID, you can click the "check availability!" button to see if that email address is free to use.

  4. Step 4

    Click the "I accept. Create my Account" button at the bottom of the form when you are finished. If you did not check the availability of your new ID and it is taken, you will be prompted to select a new ID. Once the account ID is accepted you will be done creating you new account.

Tips & Warnings
  • Gmail constantly adds more total storage space for its users. Gmail allows over 7 GB of storage, which is far more than most users will ever need.
