Find Someone's Email Address - And get Found

How many email addresses do you currently have? how many email addresses have you already had but no longer use?

Or have you lost someone's email address? or have they changed their email address?

Email addresses like business cards don't seem to last very long. You change job, change ISP and out goes the old email address and in comes the new.

You try to tell all of your contacts about the new address but it's impossible to tell all of them.

So how do they get in touch with you now? How do they get your new email address? Or how do you get theirs. Here we will look at the problem from both sides - getting found and finding an email address .

Getting Found

If you change  email address, and have done he obvious of emailing all your contacts of the new address then here are some additional steps to consider to make getting found easier.

• Arrange for email to your old address to be automatically forwarded to the new email address for a suitable period (3-6 months) before expiring the old address. If your old email provider doesn't provide this facility then there  are a number of companies like email-forwarding.biz or return path that will pick up email from various accounts and forward them to the new address.
• Register at an email registry service like findmemail and return path. Where you enter the old and the new addresses and some search details so people can locate you.
• Register yourself at any of the friend reunited related websites (see below in finding email addresses).
• Get yourself your own personal email address so that you don't have to worry about this again in a years time.

Finding Someone's Email Address

If you want to contact someone and don't know their email address then provided you know some details about them ,in particular the last name (surname) then you should be able to find them- provided they want to be found (see anonymous email ).

The more details you have then the easier it is to locate them.
