Email Address Search
Whether you’re trying to find someone’s email address for professional connections or seeking to uncover details about an unknown email sender, email searches and reverse email searches can be valuable tools.
Whilst most listings here are international, they do provide email addresses for Australians.
You may also like to try searching Instant Messenger searches for an email address. As Messenger accounts are based on the use of an email address, and a few are run by the same companies that provide the most popular free email services, they are certainly worth searching.
Performing Reverse Email Searches
A reverse email search allows you to find information about the owner of an email address, helping verify identities or investigate unfamiliar senders.
Methods for Conducting a Reverse Email Search
Search Engines
- Google Search – Copy and paste the email address into Google and see if it’s linked to any profiles, blog posts, or public forums. Use quotation marks (e.g., “example@gmail.com”) for more precise search results.
- Bing or Yahoo – Some connections might appear in lesser-used search engines that don’t show up on Google.
Social Media
Many platforms like Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn allow you to search using an email address. Simply enter the email in the search field to see if a profile is connected.
Use “Forgot Password” options to reveal which accounts (if any) are tied to the email, though you should not misuse this information.

Email Header Analysis
Analyse the email header (available in most email client settings) to detect metadata about the sender, such as their IP address or server location. Use tools like MXToolbox to interpret technical details.
Both email searches and reverse email searches are powerful tools when used responsibly. By utilizing professional networks, lookup tools, and search engine techniques, you can locate email addresses or gather relevant details about their owners. Always ensure that you respect privacy, act ethically, and stay within legal boundaries to maintain trust and professionalism.
