- How does the email finder work?
- Our email finder generates common email patterns based on the person's name and company domain, then validates each one against the mail server to check if the mailbox exists. We test 10 different formats including first.last, firstlast, first, and variations.
- Is it legal to use an email finder?
- Yes, email finding is legal for legitimate business purposes like sales outreach and networking. However, you should ensure compliance with GDPR, CAN-SPAM, and other regulations when contacting found email addresses. Always respect opt-out requests.
- Why didn't the tool find an email address?
- The person may use an uncommon email format (like a nickname), the company might use a different domain, or the mail server may block verification attempts. Some organizations also disable SMTP verification for security reasons.
- What is a catch-all domain?
- A catch-all domain accepts all emails sent to it, regardless of whether the specific mailbox exists. This means we cannot verify if john@company.com actually reaches John's inbox since the server accepts everything. Many large companies use catch-all configurations.
- How accurate is this email finder?
- Very accurate for verified emails. We only display email addresses that score 10/10, meaning we confirmed the mailbox exists through real-time SMTP verification. However, some valid emails may not be found if they use unusual formats.
- Can I find multiple email addresses at once?
- Yes! Our bulk email finder lets you upload CSV or Excel files with names and company domains. We'll automatically find verified email addresses for your entire contact list. Process hundreds or thousands of contacts in a single job with results ready for download.
- How much does bulk email finding cost?
- Bulk email finding costs 5 credits per email found. You're only charged when we successfully find a verified email address - there's no charge for contacts where we can't find an email. New accounts get 200 free credits to start.
- What file formats does the bulk email finder support?
- Our bulk email finder tool accepts CSV files and Microsoft Excel documents (XLS, XLSX) up to 20MB. Your file needs columns for the person's name (or separate first/last name columns) and the company domain or website.
- What are common uses for an email finder tool?
- Email finder tools are commonly used for B2B sales prospecting, recruiting outreach, PR and influencer marketing, business development, and professional networking. Always ensure you have a legitimate business purpose and comply with applicable regulations.
- What email patterns do you check?
- We check 10 common corporate email patterns: first.last, firstlast, first, last, initials, first initial + last, last + first initial, first + last initial, last.first, and first_last with underscore.
