Type a name and the company’s website, or paste a LinkedIn profile. We build the likely addresses in the formats companies use and ask the mail server which one exists before we show it. Nothing is ever sent to the person.

An email finder works out a person’s work email address from their name and their company’s website.
An email finder is a tool that returns someone’s work email address when all you have is who they are and where they work. It is not a directory lookup, because most business email addresses are never published anywhere. The address has to be worked out.
That takes two jobs. The first is building the addresses the company’s format would produce for this person. The second is asking the company’s mail server which of them is a real mailbox. A tool that only does the first job hands you a list of guesses, and a tool that does both hands you an answer.
You type a name and a website
We build the likely addresses
and 7 more formats
The mail server confirms one
priya.raman@harrowmint.com
- Pattern
- first.last
- Mail server
- Google Workspace
- Mailbox
- Exists
The first job is possible because almost every company picks one address format and uses it for everyone: first.last@, flast@, first@ and so on. The second is why a finder can return addresses that were never published. The check in the third picture is the same one the free email checker runs on an address you already have.
You can find an email address in three steps.
There is nothing to install and no account to make. A search takes a few seconds to about a minute, because some mail servers answer slowly, and nothing is ever sent to the person you search for.
Type the name and the company's website.
Put the first name, last name and the company's website into the finder at the top of this page and press Find email. You do not need an account.
Read the verdict and the addresses we checked.
You see Verified, Likely: catch-all or Not found, with the address format, the company's mail server and every address we tried.
Follow the next step the verdict gives you.
Send a Verified address, send a Likely one on its own, and try another name when a search comes back Not found.
Every result tells you how sure we are, and what to do next.
Most finders hand you an address and stop. Ours shows the verdict, the address format, who runs the company’s mail and every address we tried, so you can see why we’re sure, or why we can’t be.

What to do: send it. It is safe for a campaign too.
This company's server accepts every address, so none can be proven. This one passed our catch-all check, which makes it the best match.

What to do: send it on its own, or in a small separate batch, so one bounce can't lift your bounce rate.
None of the 12 likely addresses for this name could be confirmed.

What to do: try her formal first name, or the company's other domain if it has one.
Each line of a result tells you something you can act on.
The three verdicts say how sure we are. The lines under them say why, so you can judge an address instead of trusting it blindly.
| Line of a result | What it tells you | What to do with it |
|---|---|---|
| Verified | The mail server confirmed that this mailbox exists and accepts email. | Send it. It is safe for a campaign too. |
| Likely: catch-all | The company's server accepts every address, so no check can prove one mailbox exists. This address passed our catch-all check, which makes it the best match. | Send it on its own, or in a small separate batch, so one bounce cannot lift your bounce rate. |
| Not found | None of the likely addresses for this name could be confirmed. | Try the person's formal first name, or the company's other domain if it has one. |
| Pattern | The format the company uses for its addresses, such as first.last. | Apply the same format to a colleague’s name, or look the company up in the company email format finder. |
| Mail server | Who runs the company's mail, such as Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 or a gateway like Proofpoint. None found means the domain publishes no mail records. | If a domain publishes no mail records, search again on the company’s real mail domain. The MX lookup shows the mail servers of any domain. |
| Catch-all domain | Whether the company's server accepts mail for every address, real or not. | On a Yes, expect Likely instead of Verified, and send in a small batch. |
| Every address we checked | Each address we built, marked Exists, Does not exist, Passed catch-all check or Accepted, not proven. | When a search comes back empty, read this list to see which formats are ruled out before you try again. |

Behind every search, the finder does four things, one after another.
A search takes a few seconds to about a minute, because some mail servers answer slowly. Want to run the steps yourself? The company email format finder shows the pattern, the email permutator builds the candidates, and the email checker tests each one.
Finding an address by hand means doing the finder’s work yourself, one address at a time.
By hand costs nothing and it works, for the people whose address is published somewhere. The finder does the same four jobs in a single search, including for the addresses nobody published.
By hand
- Search the web and the company's site for an address someone published.
- Find one colleague's address and copy its format.
- Write out the likely addresses for your person, one for each format.
- Check each address with an email checker, one at a time.
With the Emailchaser email finder
- Type the name and the company's website.
- We read the company's mail setup and build the likely addresses.
- We check every one of them with our email verifier.
- You get the address that exists and every address we tried.
There are four ways to find someone’s email address, and each one fits a different job.
The right one depends on how many addresses you need and how much a wrong one costs you. To compare the finders themselves, read our guide to the best email finder tools.
| Way to find an address | It fits best when | What to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Search for it by hand | The person's address is published on the company's site, in a press release or on a public profile. | It finds only what someone published, and every new person means a new search. |
| Work out the pattern and guess | You can find one real address at the same company to copy the format from. | A guess is still a guess until a mail server confirms it, so check the result before you send. |
| Buy a contact database | You need a large number of records at once. | People change jobs all the time, so an old record can point at a mailbox that no longer exists. |
| Use a live email finder | You have a name and a company and want an address that exists today. | This page looks up one person at a time. For a whole list, the Lead Finder in Emailchaser does it in bulk. |
We searched the same 100 people in each tool, and ours found 88.
Many finders only return addresses that were published somewhere on the web. Ours also works out addresses that were never published, from the formats companies use, and checks them live. That is where the 21 extra finds come from.
The method and the other tools we ranked are in the 100-contact test write-up.

There are six moments when finding an address from a name is the quickest way in.
Sales teams, recruiters, founders and marketers reach for an email finder at the same points.
You want to reach a decision-maker who does not publish an address.
A sales rep with a name from an event list or a LinkedIn search gets the work email in one search, then writes to the person directly. With only a profile link, use the LinkedIn email finder.
You are contacting a candidate you shortlisted.
Recruiters reach people by email instead of waiting for a connection request to be accepted, and a name on a shortlist turns into a real conversation.
You are asking for a partnership, a link or a press mention.
Founders and marketers write to the person who decides, for partnership outreach, link building, investor introductions and customer research.
You have a contact list with names but no addresses.
Fill the gaps one search at a time, then run the finished list through the email checker before you send.
Your last email to someone bounced.
A hard bounce means the mailbox does not exist, so the address was wrong or has since been closed. Search the name again, then check the old address in the email checker to see what happened.
You need everyone in a role at a company, not one person.
Emailchaser lists the people at the companies you choose with verified work emails, filtered by job title, then sends your sequence with automatic follow-ups.
When you need a whole list of people, Emailchaser finds them and checks every address.
The finder on this page looks up one person at a time. Inside Emailchaser, the Lead Finder searches the people database by job title, seniority and location, and every address is checked by two independent verification providers before it gets an email. The same account then sends your cold email sequence and every follow-up.
When a search comes back empty, one of four things is usually true.
Mail runs on another domain
The website is acme.io but staff email is on acme.com. Look at any address the company publishes, or check the domain with the MX lookup, then search again on the mail domain.
The mailbox uses another name
Bob is Robert, a surname changed, a hyphen was dropped. Try the formal first name, or split a messy full name with the name splitter.
The domain accepts everything
On a catch-all domain we show the likeliest address as Likely instead of Verified, so send it carefully. The email permutator lists every format if you want to pick another.
The person has no work mailbox
Freelancers and founders of one-person companies often use Gmail, which has no pattern to work out.
Have an email and want the person behind it?
That’s the other direction. Our free reverse email lookup shows who owns a work address, where they work and whether the mailbox is real.
Looking for someone’s personal Gmail?
No Gmail finder can work one out from a name: personal addresses follow no company pattern. Sites that claim to are usually reselling old leaked data. For outreach, the work email is the one you want.
These are the questions people ask most about finding an email address.
What is an email finder?
An email finder is a tool that takes a person's name and the website of the company they work for and returns their work email address. Most business addresses are never published, so it builds the likely addresses in the formats companies use and asks the company's mail server which one is a real mailbox. To compare finders, read our guide to the best email finder tools.
Is there a free email finder with no sign-up?
Yes, this one. Every visitor gets 3 free searches a day with no account and nothing to install. Use all 3 at once, and one comes back every 8 hours after that.
How do I find someone's email address by name?
Type their first name, last name and their company's website into the finder at the top of this page. We build the likely addresses in the formats companies use, check each mailbox, and show you the one that exists, usually in under a minute.
Can I find an email from a LinkedIn profile?
Yes. Paste the profile link into the LinkedIn tab and you get the person's work email, job title and company, checked by our verifier. The LinkedIn tab has its own 3 free lookups a day.
Is there a free unlimited email finder?
Not one that checks every address live, because each check costs money to run. Tools that promise unlimited searches usually serve addresses from an old database, which is how lists end up bouncing. We give you 3 live searches a day instead, with no signup.
Are the emails guessed or found somewhere?
Worked out, then confirmed. We build the candidates in the formats companies use and the mail server tells us which mailbox exists. That's why we can find addresses that were never published anywhere.
How accurate is the email finder?
In our own test of 100 contacts, published 2 August 2026, it found 88, against 67 for Hunter. A Verified result was confirmed by the mail server. A Likely result is on a catch-all domain, where no tool can confirm a mailbox.
What does "Likely: catch-all" mean?
The company's server accepts mail for every address, so it can't confirm that one mailbox exists. The address passed our catch-all check, which makes it the best match, but it could still bounce. Send it on its own or in a small separate batch.
How long does an email search take?
From a few seconds to about a minute. The finder builds the likely addresses for the name and checks each one with our email verifier, and some mail servers answer more slowly than others.
Why didn't the email finder return an address?
Usually the company sends mail from another domain, the person uses a different name on their mailbox, or they have no work mailbox at all. The result lists every address we checked, so you know what is left to try.
Can I find someone's Gmail address by name?
No tool can work one out reliably. Work emails follow company patterns like first.last@company.com, but personal Gmail addresses follow none, so sites that claim to find them are usually reselling old leaked data. For outreach, the work email is the one you want, and that is what this finder gets.
Does the person know I searched for them?
No. Checking a mailbox asks the mail server a question and stops before any email is sent, so nothing reaches the person.
Is it legal to use an email finder?
Yes, for legitimate business outreach. We only return work contact details, Emailchaser complies with GDPR and CCPA, and anyone can ask us to remove their data through our opt-out page.
What is the Emailchaser email finder?
It is the free tool on this page, 3 searches a day with no signup, and one part of Emailchaser, our cold email platform. The finder gets you one address at a time; the platform finds verified prospects and sends the sequence and the follow-ups.
What is the difference between an email finder and an email verifier?
A finder answers "what is this person's email address?" from a name and a company website. A verifier answers "is this address I already have real?" They work in sequence: find the address, check it, then send.
Can I find emails for a whole list of people?
Yes, in Emailchaser. It lists the people at the companies you choose with verified work emails, or finds the emails for a list of LinkedIn profiles, then sends your sequence with follow-ups.
More free tools: LinkedIn email finder, Reverse email lookup, Email checker, Company email format finder, Email permutator, MX lookup.
Find the email, then send the sequence and the follow-ups from the same place.
