How do I find someone's email address?

Also worth noting are themed directories that people register with, such as linkedin.com (past co-workers) and classmates.com (former school friends) as well as individual alumni sites for the schools you attended. I located a couple of college friends through an online alumni directory run by the university I attended.

Additionally, sending out a call to friends you and this person may have had in common also helps. Considering the "six degrees of separation" theory. It's possible that someone you know has the contact info for the person you're seeking or they might know someone who does.

I need to find a hotmail address, i know its simply a name and i know the persons first name but can't remember how to spell the second, i would recognise it if i saw it in a list. Can such a list be found? Thanks

No. Not that I'm aware of.

I recently found a long lost friend on Myspace, although they haven't logged into their account in quite some time. I was wondering if there was a way to find out which email address they used when logging into their Myspace account? That way I would be able to email them directly instead of trying to contact them with the Myspace account they never use.
Thanks,
Dahlia

1. Yes, as mentioned in the article, do Google search.

Do a search in several different ways : variations of the persons last, first, middle names, state, country, etc. Today, search engines contain billions of records listed MySpace, forums, blogs, etc.

2. Here's another free people and email address search resources :

http://www.people.yahoo.com
http://www.whitepages.com

Find the person with military, college or professional affiliations :
http://www.militaryconnections.com - for military personnel
http://www.facebook.com - find college students.

or by high school
http://www.classmates.com
http://www.reunion.com

How do you obtain the hotmail member directory? I was trying to email this person and accidentally discarded my draft. All i remember is the first word of the email addy and their first name.

I have a hotmail email addres (xxxx@hotmail.com), how do I found out, who it belongs to?
thanks,
Yanna
