There are paid ones and their reliability or accuracy may vary. If you choose to use such a service, make sure that there are others who used it and got good results. What makes the paid email lookup services' reliability questionable is that unless a person intentionally displays their email and name info publicly, nobody can, or has the right to, display this information anywhere.
So, unless you are sure that a paid email lookup service is a legit and accurate one, our advice would be to stay away from them. Another thing you can do is to go to a people search engine such as Pipl.
Some emails are sent from a website owned by an individual and they are in this format: email domainname. In that case, you can search for the owner on domain lookup sites like Who. If the domain name is not privacy protected, you can see the contact details of the registrar.
We learn from background check resource UnMask that people finders are incredibly effective at revealing who an email belongs to. Simply search for the address using a service like Pipl and wait for the results. Some people search sites have very comprehensive databases.
They can scan social networks, regular web docs, and even domain names to find details associated with an email address. In some cases, you might need to subscribe in order to access the search results. It should give you an approximate idea of where the sender is located.
Go through your address books to see if you might know the sender. No worries. If you only know the email address of a person and nothing more, here are some ways that may help you uncover the identity of that unknown email sender.
If there are multiple entries, use the IP address mentioned in the last entry. Now paste the IP address in this trace route tool and you should get a fairly good idea about the approximate location of the email sender. Facebook has a billion users and the likelihood is therefore high that the sender may also have a profile on Facebook. Unlike LinkedIn and most other social networks, Facebook lets you search users by email address so that should make your job simpler.
Just paste the email address of the person into the search box and Facebook will instantly tell you if a profile exists with that email address or not.

When that happens, tracing an email, also known as reverse email lookup, can provide additional context. There are several reasons that a salesperson might want to do a reverse email lookup or check an email address owner. For example, you may have received an email inquiry from someone you are not familiar with at all, and you want to know more about the prospect before you reply.
You may also have a contact in your lead database that you want to connect with, and you are looking to add information about where they work, their role, or mutual connections. In addition, matching the email up to an individual can help you recognize known contacts whose email addresses have changed as a result of a business acquisition or reorganization and, therefore, reduce the risk of duplicate records in your contact database. However, no one method of reverse email lookup is completely foolproof, which is why we have compiled a list of several methods you can use to ensure you are getting the most amount of information possible when conducting a reverse email lookup.
To test each of these methods, we randomly selected 15 email addresses from an opt-in subscriber list that only asked for an email address. We then tested the accuracy of each method by comparing what information we could discover using only an email address. To determine the best, we recorded the results as well as the pros and cons discovered during our evaluation. One of the most basic ways to lookup an email address is to search using Google by entering the email address in the search bar.
Searching on Google is more likely to produce results if you are looking to check the email address owner of a business email since it is more likely to appear in context on a company directory or contact page. While Google is the most popular search engine, you might sometimes find additional results by entering the email address in the search bar of Duck Duck Go , or Bing.
In both of those cases, it was because the email address was listed on a business website that the person owned. However, searching on Google is a quick and free way to get started. While it is the least likely to produce results for personal email addresses or for individuals at large corporations, it can provide a place to start your homework on prospective clients, especially sole proprietors who use their email address as their primary contact on their website.
In some cases, you use an email address to search for a social media network to attempt to identify the owner. To do this, enter the email address into the search feature found on most social networks. For example, if a user has made their email address publicly available on their timeline, Facebook allows you to search by that email.
While Twitter and LinkedIn also include search features, they are less reliable when trying to search by email. To search using Facebook, log into your profile and enter the email address you want to identify in the search box in the upper left.
Any profile, post, or page that is associated with that email will then appear in the results.
