Creating an email account is essential for browsing the internet, signing up for social networks, receiving important communications, and much more. If you are a beginner and want to create an Alice email, this easy guide will walk you through the registration procedure step by step, explaining simply and clearly how to get your personal email address.

Why choose Alice Mail?

Alice Mail is not just an email service, but also offers you a series of additional benefits:

• Free storage space: You can keep a large number of emails without worrying about running out of space.
• Access to other TIM services: With your Alice Mail account, you can easily access other TIM services, such as TIMvision and TIMmusic.
• Address book integration: Easily manage your contacts and send emails quickly.
• Anti-spam filters: Alice Mail protects you from unwanted emails and phishing attempts.

Accessing the Registration Site

First, open your web browser (like Chrome, Firefox, or Safari) and type in the address bar: mail.alice.it. Press Enter. You will find yourself on the main Alice Mail page, where you can access your inbox if you already have an account, or register to create a new one.

On the main page, look for the button or link that says “Register” (“Registrati”), “Create an account” (“Crea un account”), or something similar. It is usually located in a visible spot, such as the top right or the center of the page. Click on this button to start the registration procedure.

Filling out the Registration Form

Once you click the registration button, you will be redirected to the registration form. This form will ask you to enter various personal details, such as:

• Name and Surname: Enter your real first and last name.
• Date of Birth: Select your date of birth from the dropdown menu.
• Gender: Specify if you are male or female.
• Username: This will be the name you use to access your email and the first part of your email address (e.g., username@alice.it). Choose a username that is easy to remember and represents you.

Tips for choosing a Username

• Use a combination of letters and numbers.
• Avoid using easily accessible personal information, such as your full name or date of birth.
• Choose a username that is easy for you to remember, but difficult for others to guess.
• Password: The password is crucial for protecting your account. Choose a secure password, consisting of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Avoid using passwords that are easy to guess, like your name or date of birth.

Tips for choosing a Password

• Use a password of at least 8 characters.
• Combine uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.
• Do not use the same password for different accounts.
• Change your password regularly.

• Security Question: Choose a security question and provide an answer that only you know. You will be asked this question if you forget your password and need to recover the account.
• Phone Number (optional): You can enter your phone number to increase your account security and receive notifications via SMS.

After filling in all the required fields, read the terms and conditions of the service carefully and check the box to accept them.

Account Verification

Once you have submitted the registration form, you will receive a confirmation email at the address you provided. Open this email and click on the verification link to confirm your identity and activate your account.

In some cases, you might receive a verification code via SMS. Enter this code in the appropriate field on the Alice Mail site to complete the verification.

Accessing the Inbox

After verifying your account, you can finally access your inbox! Return to the main Alice Mail page (mail.alice.it) and enter your username and password in the appropriate fields. Click on “Accedi” or “Login” to enter your inbox.

What to do in case of login problems:

• Forgot password? Click on the “Password dimenticata” (Forgot password) link and follow the instructions to reset it. You will likely be asked to answer your security question or enter a code sent to your phone number.
• Wrong username or password? Carefully check that you have entered your username and password correctly, paying attention to uppercase and lowercase letters.
• Other problems? If you continue to have login problems, contact Alice Mail support for assistance.

Basic Alice Mail Settings

Once inside your inbox, you can customize various settings to suit your needs. Explore the available options in the settings menu, which is usually located at the top right, represented by a gear icon.

Some settings you might want to change include:

• Signature: Create a personalized signature that will be automatically added to all your emails.
• Theme: Choose a theme you like to customize the look of your inbox.
• Notifications: Set up notifications to receive alerts when you get new emails.

Managing Spam and Junk Email

Alice Mail has built-in anti-spam filters, but sometimes some unwanted email can still reach your inbox. Here are some tips for managing spam:

• Never reply to spam emails: Replying to a spam email confirms to the sender that your email address is active and could lead to receiving even more spam.
• Report as spam: Most email clients, including Alice Mail, have a button or option to report an email as spam. This helps improve anti-spam filters and block future similar emails.
• Block unwanted senders: If you repeatedly receive unwanted emails from a specific sender, you can block them to prevent them from contacting you again.

Using Folders and Labels

Organizing emails into folders and labels can help you better manage your inbox and easily find important emails.

• Folders: Create folders to group emails by topic, sender, or project.
• Labels: Assign labels to emails to categorize and filter them easily.

Configuring Alice Mail on Smartphone and Tablet

You can also access your Alice email from your smartphone or tablet. Here are two ways to do it:

• Default email app: You can configure your Alice Mail account in the default email app of your device (like Mail on iPhone or Gmail on Android). Look for the account settings and follow the instructions to add a new IMAP or POP3 account. You will need the following data:
