Before doing this, carefully check your '''spam/junk email box''' for messages from Proteopedia. If you find them, mark them as "not spam" or "not junk" and then you do''' not''' need to do what follows.

==Use Gmail.com==

#Create a new email account at '''gmail.com'''. It is free. (We know that gmail.com will accept messages from Proteopedia.)

:1. Create a new email account at '''gmail.com'''. It is free. (We know that gmail.com will accept messages from Proteopedia.)

::If you already have a gmail account, you may use it but be sure to '''empty the spam mailbox''' first.

# Request a new account at Proteopedia, using your gmail address.

:2. Request a new account at Proteopedia, using your gmail address.

::'''Add a period/dot (.) at the end of your name''' to make it different from your previous account request. (We will also use the period to clean out your old request from our server.)

:::If your first request was for "Eric Martz", make the new name "Eric Martz'''.'''" (See note<ref> If you do not change your name, Proteopedia will deem your request to be a duplicate, and reject it automatically. We have verified that simply adding a period at the end of your name makes it acceptable as a "new name" to Proteopedia.</ref>)

# Carefully look for a message from account@proteopedia.org. You '''must''' confirm your email address from a link in this message. If you do not receive this message right away, open "More" and look in your Spam box (and mark messages from Proteopedia as "not spam"!).

:3. Carefully look for a message from account@proteopedia.org. You '''must''' confirm your email address from a link in this message. If you do not receive this message right away, open "More" and look in your Spam box (and mark messages from Proteopedia as "not spam"!).

# After you confirm your email address, your account will be created (not immediately, but usually within 24 hours, by a human being) and you will receive a second email containing your password. Remember to look in your Spam box.

:4. After you confirm your email address, your account will be created (not immediately, but usually within 24 hours, by a human being) and you will receive a second email containing your password. Remember to look in your Spam box.
