How to delete email if you forgot your password

It happens that you need to destroy a mailbox from which you do not remember the login information - login and password. In this case, you first need to try to restore access to your profile.

The first thing you need to know is the exact mail address. After all, the address can either end with @mail.ru or with other endings: @list.ru, @inbox.ru or @bk.ru. And these will be different Mailboxes.

In addition, if you mix up just one letter or number in the name before the @ sign, it will also be a different mailbox - not yours.

Example of an email address

And the second thing you need to know is the exact password. It consists exclusively of English letters; numbers may be used. The size of the letters (large or small) also matters.

Without a password, you cannot delete your page on Mail, so you will need to recover it first. To do this, in the login window on the site, click “Forgot your password?” and follow the instructions.

Read more about restoring access in the lesson “My mail".

What to do if you can’t restore the box? Then you just need to wait: when the address is not used for more than six months, the administration has the right to destroy it.

If you haven't used the mailbox in a while and can't log into it, it's most likely already deleted.

It's easy to check: send a letter to your old email. If you receive a notification about an undelivered message, it means the mailbox is closed. It simply no longer exists in the system.

Or you can try to register this address. If such a username is available, then the mailbox has been automatically deleted.

Is it possible to restore mail?

You can only return the box within three months after it was closed. But everything that was in it will be irretrievably destroyed. Deleted emails and files cannot be recovered.

To restore deleted mail, you just need to open the mail.ru website and enter the correct address and password in the login window.

The box will open without any problems on the part of the system (you won’t even need confirmation), but it will be empty.

Alternative to deletion

Deleting mail is a very important step. After all, all letters and services are immediately erased along with it. This is not always suitable, and now I will tell you about more gentle ways to deal with your address.

Exit from the box

Sometimes a person just needs to close the box specific device. For example, you went to your personal mail on your work computer. And now every time you log into the mail.ru website, the mailbox opens automatically.

To prevent this from happening, you just need to get out account. Then the mail will remain in the system, but this computer it will no longer load automatically.

To log out of your mail on your computer, open the mail.ru website and in the login form, click on the door icon.

Forwarding letters

It often happens that a person has not used mail on Mile for a long time: he has a different address on another site. But he used to leave his old box with different people. And I don’t really want to delete it in case one of them writes.

Or it happens that you don’t want to delete mail on mail.ru, because all sorts of necessary services are attached to it. For example, you have registered Skype, a page on a social network, or a profile on a dating site. And if you close your mailbox, you may lose access to these services.

In this case, instead of deleting, it is better to set up email forwarding. Then, when a message arrives at the old address, it will be redirected to the new one. And it doesn’t matter which site new address: on Yandex, Google (gmail.com) or some other.

1 . We go to the mailbox on mail.ru, from which we need to redirect letters. Click on its address in the upper right corner. From the list, select “Mail Settings”.

3. Click on the “Add forwarding” button.

4 . Specify the address to which letters should be forwarded and click “Save”.

6. After this, the transfer is added, but for it to start working, it needs to be confirmed. To do this, click on the appropriate link and follow the instructions.

If everything is done correctly, the “Confirmed” mark will appear in the “Filtering Rules”. But besides this, you will also need to set the switch to “ON” - just click on it.

That's all! Now all letters will be automatically redirected to another address. If desired, this setting can be turned off at any time.

If you do not receive a confirmation email, check your Spam folder. For me, for example, it ended up exactly there.

Filtration

If you decide to leave Mail because you are receiving unwanted emails (spam), then this can be resolved through filtering. Simply mark those messages that you would not like to receive, click on the “More” button and select “Create a filter” from the list.

Or you can even select the “Delete forever” option. The main thing is not to forget to save the settings and check that this filter is marked “ON”.

This is how you can delete mail ru mail. When deleting a mailbox, you need to understand that everything associated with it will be deleted, namely the blog on Mail ru, if there is one, the account in “My World”, photos, videos and everything else that was uploaded, as well as all letters with information, which may be important.

Of course, this question does not arise if you regularly clean your mailbox, and also if you do not subscribe to various mailing lists, do not use it to register on forums and in social networks. If you at least don’t “expose” your address on the Internet, at least you don’t have spam, although large mail services have already learned how to deal with spam (by large services I mean mail.ru, yandex.ru, gmail.com , although there are other services that are equally protected from spam).

But how to quickly and effectively get rid of megatons of mailings from the category “actions of your friends in the past half hour”, even if you have already exceeded the limit of 4000 letters in a folder (mail.ru limit), after which letters continue to arrive and you can read them? but such a nice bauble as “sorting” no longer works? This is a technological limitation.

But hallelujah, this one comes to the rescue convenient service, like Search, in which you can specify a search template (for example, VKontakte or vk.com) and delete all found letters wholesale. The method is as simple as a rail and I don’t see the point of describing it in detail. If you helped someone, thank God.

We'll look at another, more intelligent method called Filters. The essence of the trick is this - you have the opportunity to immediately sort out all sorts of mailings from personal or work correspondence, so as not to search through the entire mailbox every time for the desired letter.

It’s very nice that now on some services filters can be applied even to messages that were received before these same filters were created - before this was possible on free services there wasn't at all.

So let's get started:

We go to the mail and select Configure folder

After this we select Add folder

A window like this opens...

... and enter the folder name into it, for example, Newsletters and place it not in the root, but, for example, in the Inbox folder.

Although, of course, you can leave Folder position in position Folder on upper level , if, for example, you want to make many subfolders for each newsletter, but this can be done at any time and we will not focus on this. Here we will look at the principle, and then in the same way you can create such folders and set up filters yourself. So for now, let’s do steps 1 through 3 and move on to the next stage.

This is the kind of beauty you should have gotten, now let’s move on to the section Filters and forwarding.

And press the button Add filter

Here in red are important points that you should pay attention to when creating a filter. Filters allow you to filter emails based on a large number parameters. If you need full review filter options, you can go to Help, or write in the comments about the need for such an article, and I will try to make a description as soon as possible.

Let's return to our sheep, i.e. creating a filter. In field "If" we choose From field, Further contains(when you click on this inscription, it changes to "does not contain") and write the mail domains, mail from which should be placed in the mailing folder. Don't forget to check the box Apply to messages in folders- this is done so that all letters that arrived before creating the filter are also moved to the mailing folder (or any other folder that you have defined)

After creating a filter and clicking on the button Save you see this line. There is no need to change anything else here, I can only say that I have more than a dozen such filters - for informational mailings, from couponers, thematic ones, etc., which I wish for you too.
