i have met an amzing girl on holiday but stupidly lost all her contact details. i know her name and address but she is under 18 and not in the hotmail directory is there any way of finding her hotmail address

Nope. If they're not in the directory, finding someone is extremely difficult if not impossible.

You guys are all lamers! holy CRAP, think for yourselves u MORONS, read, research, learn and stop asking such ~stupid~ questions. - "can you find my friend" - "this person is bothering me".- "how do i change this" - Almost every single question asked here can either be found ON this website, ON the hotmail site, OR with commen sence (not so commen i guess). If i was admin id have your IP's banned for asking such crap. Thats my 2 cents.

I would like to find a out if my friend has a hotmail account. All I have is a name, is this even possible? Could u please help me?

I know of no way to find a person on Hotmail with only their name.

Remember, they may simply not use there name in their hotmail registration, or there could be 100's of people with the same name, or they may not have a Hotmail account at all.

Best you just ask your friend.

Watch out, trying to access peoples email addresses via searching the real name, it does not work, its impossible.

Also doing that makes your browser catch open to viruses, such as malware...

i have a hotmail account and regularly correspond with another hotmail user.

a week back i received an offensive email from an unknown person having a hotmail account.

when i traced the IP using the advanced header option in hotmail, i found that my contact and this person had the same X-IP sender's address.

i am shocked and wondering if the same ip address can be shared by two different people

please advise
