How to find a person's name from an email address

Web

So I recently got an email from someone on Craigslist, and needed to find out a little more about them. The email address gave me no information about who they were, where they lived, or who they worked for. I googled the address, but nothing valid came up. So I had to find a decent email address lookup tool.

I found this email lookup tool, and I recommend it. Though it comes with a per-use cost, it's worth it, as the interface is very simple, and the results are pretty comprehensive.

It also offers the functionality to find a person's email address by their name, but this currently only works in the US.

So what are you waiting for? Find out whose email address that is now!

    Wow, thanks for this post Justin! It was totally worth the few bucks to find out who's been emailing me lately. Now I know how my secret admirer is!
