any advantages of mail.ru account?

[psyche]

are there any advantages of having a mail.ru account? i mean signing up a website or whatever etc.

Believe the "ru" represents a Russian based top level domain address. Not sure that I'd call it an advantage or not. Guess you'd have to deal with whatever Russian laws are in place for privacy and legal requirements for companies hosted in that country.

Emails are easy to use. You can organize your daily correspondence, send and receive electronic messages and save them on computers.
Emails are fast. They are delivered at once around the world. No other form of written communication is as fast as an email.
The language used in emails is simple and informal.
When you reply to an email you can attach the original message so that when you answer the recipient knows what you are talking about. This is important if you get hundreds of emails a day.
It is possible to send automated emails with a certain text. In such a way it is possible to tell the sender that you are on vacation. These emails are called auto responders.
Emails do not use paper. They are environment friendly and save a lot of trees from being cut down.
Emails can also have pictures in them. You can send birthday cards or newsletters as emails.
Products can be advertised with emails. Companies can reach a lot of people and inform them in a short time.
