Though reverse phone lookups have been available on the Internet for some time, there has not always been a way to pair an unknown email address with the person behind it. Anyone can go to a number of online phone number search sites and do a reverse lookup with only a phone number. Reverse email lookup services are less well known, and not as complete as a phonebook, even an online one.
There are many reasons for this. People have been known to create accounts and forget the password, or not use it often, especially if they have multiple email accounts. If this account should be compromised in some way, even if you do find out who the owner is, it may not be the current owner. Another issue is people do not register for email accounts with their full names, or even their real names.
Of course, you could always go to your favorite search engine and type in an email address. You may get lucky and get an accurate hit on someone's Amazon profile, or a name on a blog, but again, if they do not associate their real identity with that email address on those sites, you may not get very far.
Do not be discouraged by this however. Email providers such as Hotmail, Yahoo, Lycos, Gmail, Verizon, and others, often have directories for their users. The user, however, does have the option to not be in the directory, and must usually opt-out to do so. So if the person you are looking for is in the directory, problem solved.
If it is not so easy for you, there are companies and groups who offer premium lookups, not just for email, but for phone, and by name. If all you have is an email address though, they can work with that too. The reason they can find it when you cannot? Data mining. They have taken the time and effort and resources to compile information from public sources, sites that have email information as well as relating information to the email owner including phone number, and sometimes address.
Credible premium services for reverse email lookups will let you type in the email address for free, and give you some kind of information related to the person, at times the city and state of residence, or something to let you know that they have a person they've found that is connected with the address. From there, you can choose to buy a fuller report containing identification of the person, and multiple ways to contact or identify them.
Be wary of any service that asks for money up front without any proof that it can deliver what they promise. Always look for a reverse email lookup service that will let you at least type in the email and get some kind of result before committing to payment.
