Surely you have ever had the case of having to send an email but you don't remember the address well. Your mind plays a trick on you and you don't know for sure if it was from Yahoo or Gmail, or if it was .com or .es.
The easiest thing would be ask him back to the account owner for the right direction, but it may not be the most feasible option, as we may have no other method of contact with that person than an incorrect e-mail address. So today we bring you two methods to find out that email address that we do not remember well.
The simpler method of the two that we are going to explain today is try to recover the password. But don't worry, we don't want to know the password. What we want is to find out if the account that we believe is correct exists.
To do this, we must go to the login of the page to which the email address belongs, and click on "I forgot my password".
If the result is a error message where we are informed that there is no email address like the one we have written, logically we can know that no such email address. This is the case of the image below.
On the other hand, if the previous option does not interest us or it seems somewhat cumbersome, we have the possibility of using several pages to know if there is an email. In these pages, we just have to enter address on which we want to know if it exists, and they will give us the results.
These services are usually limited to a certain number of queries per hour, although it is normal to query a couple of addresses, so there would be no problem.
- Verify Email: limited to 5 checks per hour, with a friendlier interface.
- email hippopotamus: With 20 verifications per day, it is more limited than the previous option, although in our tests it has proven to be more reliable.
- Email Verifier: the only option unlimited use of the three proposals.
As you have seen, you no longer have an excuse to find out if an email address exists. With two different alternatives, the option that each one chooses depends on their tastes and what they consider to be the most suitable for their needs.
