Today, e-mail is not just a virtual box for correspondence (spam), but also a pass to dozens and hundreds of various information services. There are practically no postal service providers left that do not offer their users additional goodies. And just access to these goodies can be lost if you do not know how to restore mail.
The reasons for problems with access to your account can be very different: from losing your password to a ban. There are solutions for different situations. To prepare you as much as possible for problems with your soap, today we are talking about all the ways that will help you recover email on mail.ru.
Mail.ru password recovery: causes of problems
The two most common problems with accessing a mail account are:
- User forgot login. In this case, mail.ru mail recovery is possible if you remember the full address of your e-mail. The address consists of two parts, separated by the “@” symbol. In the first part, users usually indicate their first name, last name, nickname, phone number. In the second, one of the resource domains (mail.ru, inbox.ru, bk.ru, list.ru). Most often, users make mistakes in writing their name in Latin (for example, major and mayor - both options can sound the same in Russian transcription, but it is important to choose the correct option for the address). If you can’t remember the exact spelling of the address, then the people who corresponded with you can help you restore your mail.ru account - they can easily find your letters and suggest the address;
- The user has forgotten the password. There are different options here. Sometimes a person remembers a password, but for some reason enters it incorrectly. In this case, mail.ru password recovery is possible if you first type it in notepad or another editor without errors (so that you can see that the password is exactly correct). And then copy to the login form. What to do if this does not help - read our article below.
