subject: Options To Find People By Email [print this page] There several different options available if you are trying to find people by email. The most obvious way is to take any of their known email addresses and just send them a message.
If you do not have someone's email address you can go through your email history or deleted messages to determine if you have a message form that person. Many times email services will save copies of all of your ingoing and outgoing messages and you can perform a search to find the email address you are looking for. However the email needs to be active and still connected to that person in order to be a success.
If your internet and email history goes back far enough you may be able to find an old email that has the email address you are looking for. Many mailboxes and internet providers will save copies of emails and you can just do a quick search to find the email you are looking for. However if the email is no longer working then you will have to find another way to contact the person.
They also may have their own website or their university may have their information available. You also may be able to guess their email if it is for business as most business emails are assigned using traditional methods and many times you can figure this out.
There are discussion groups you can use like Usenet newsgroups and you may be able to find a person's email if you remember their interests or hobbies. You can search using their email address, name or favorite topics. You can also ask someone if they remember or know the person you are looking for. Many times this can be the easiest way to get someone's information.
If you are using an email address directory service then you do need to realize that many times these services will require a fee. Many websites will let your search for free but then may require a fee for more detailed information. The best are those that have very large directories.
