What is e-mail, how do I create one and use it?

E-mail is a method of exchanging digital messages from an author to one or more recipients. Today’s e-mail systems are based on a store-and-forward model. E-mail servers accept, forward, deliver and store messages. Neither the users nor their computers are required to be online simultaneously; they need connect only briefly, typically to an e-mail server, for as long as it takes to send or receive messages.

Why do I need e-mail in Tanki Online~

1. You can always recover your password if you lost it.
2. In case of some issues with the game you can always contact technical support at help@tankionline.com and ask for assistance.
3. If your account is linked to an e-mail, it is a lot easier to recover it in case your account gets stolen.
There are plenty of options you can choose from if you want an e-mail. Let’s take one of the most popular ones, Google Mail, as an example.

Creating an e-mail account/mailbox~

1. Go to google.com and click on Gmail at the top of the screen.
2. Click on “Create an Account”
3. A page called “Create a new Google Account” will appear. You need to fill in all the fields on the right. The most important one is “Choose your username” as it will define the name of your e-mail. Enter the one you would like to have. If the username you entered is already used by someone else, the system will warn you and ask you to choose another one. Fill in all the fields. Do not forget to check the box next to “I agree to the Google Terms of Service and Privacy Policy”.
4. If everything has been done correctly, a page with congratulations should appear. Click on “Continue to Gmail” there.
5. You will then be directed to your newly created mailbox. If you want to get acquainted with the service, you can read a mini-guide on how to use it, which will appear immediately after you enter the mail box.

Writing an email~

1. Click on “Compose”.
2. Enter the email address of a person you want to contact in the “To” field. For example if you want to contact Tanki Online technical support, you need to write help@tankionline.com. Don’t forget to mention what you are writing about in the “Subject” field and describe everything in the field below that.
3. After entering all the necessary information, send the email by clicking on “Send”.
4. That is it. Your email has been sent to customer support. Now you just need to wait for the response. According to the rules of the game, a reply will be issued within a 30 day timeframe, but usually it takes no more than 8 hours. The answer will be sent to the same email you used to contact customer support.
