Email finder

A name and a company domain in. A verified address out — with the reasoning that produced it.

Published first, inferred second

If the address is already on the company's site, you get it with the page it came from. Only when it is not do we fall back to inferring the domain's pattern.

The pattern is shown, not hidden

You see which template was applied, how many known addresses it was inferred from, and how much they agreed. A pattern from one sample is reported as the hint it is.

Verified before it is returned

Candidates are checked against the mail server and the first confirmed one wins. An unverified best guess is capped at 70 confidence and labelled as such.

How an email finder works

Most business email addresses follow a template. A company that uses {first}.{last} uses it for almost everyone, which means one known address plus a name is often enough to work out another.

The finder tries three things in order. First, whether the address is already published on the company's own website — a found address beats any inference. Second, the domain's inferred pattern applied to the name you gave. Third, population priors: the formats companies use most often, in order.

Each candidate is verified over SMTP and the loop stops at the first confirmed hit. Only a few are probed, because each probe spends real sending capacity — a finder that brute-forces twenty guesses per lookup gets its IPs blocked and then returns nothing for anybody.

Why the name source matters

Attributing a name to an address is where finders quietly go wrong. There is a large difference between "the publisher labelled this address as Jane Doe in their structured data" and "we split jdoe@ and guessed", and almost nobody tells you which one you got.

VerifyInbox reports it. Names are taken from schema.org markup first, then from page structure, then from the local part — and ambiguous local parts are not attributed at all, because jsmith could be an initial plus a surname or just a surname, and a wrong name is worse than no name.

Questions, answered.

How do I find someone's email address?

Enter their first name, last name and their company's domain. VerifyInbox checks whether the address is already published on that company's site, and if not applies the domain's inferred address pattern and verifies the result before returning it.

Is it free to find an email address?

The free tool works without an account, rate-limited per IP. A free account gives 100 credits every month — each lookup costs one credit, and lookups that find nothing are not charged.

How accurate is an email finder?

It depends entirely on whether the address was found or generated. A published address that verifies is close to certain. A generated one is only as good as the pattern behind it, which is why VerifyInbox reports the pattern, its sample count, and whether the result verified.

Can you find personal Gmail addresses?

No, deliberately. The index holds business addresses published by companies about themselves. A B2B contact index has no business need for personal consumer addresses.
