Find a Person by Their Email ID
An email ID or email address is used to communicate with people online. It can also be used to gather personal information whenever you need the email ID, as it may be linked to blogs, online resumes or social networking profiles of the person who owns it. An email address is also an effective way to search for a person, since people may change emails because of spam overload or other personal preference, making it more difficult to trace a person whenever you need to.
Instructions
1. Type the email ID into a search engine such as Google.com or Ask.com. You may find something relevant to the email ID. If the owner has a blog, it may be included in the list of search results. Browse through the blog to know more about the owner of the email ID.
2. Search for the email address in social networking sites. Most internet users have accounts in popular social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace. Enter the email ID in the search box and search through the profile matches. Note that for security reasons, you will only be able to search for profiles if you have an account with these sites. If you do not have one yet, create one.
3. Use an online directory or email address directory to look for personal information linked to the email ID. Do a "reverse search" and enter the email ID that you have. The results should give you personal information such as the name, address and mobile number of the person who owns the email ID. If you are asked to enter your credit card or PayPal information, do so to continue the search. Save all the information you can find, and then contact the person, if necessary.
