How Can I Find an Email Address on Yahoo?

Email is a great means of communication, but what if you want to touch base with someone but don't know their email address? Knowing at least a few essentials about a person such as their last name and first initial can be the key. There are ways to track down a person's email address in Yahoo. The more information you have, the easier it will be to look.

Instructions

    • 1

      Go to the Yahoo People Search home page at http://people.yahoo.com

    • 2

      Type in the information you have in the "Email Search" boxes. You must have at least a last name and first initial.

    • 3

      Click "Search." A list of email addresses will come up. This may be all you need. For instance, if you know the person you are looking for attends Brown university and a matching email address has the domain "brown.edu," odds are good you can choose this email address. The ease of this search also depends on how unusual the name is. "Sara Smith" will likely yield hundreds of results. If the list is too long you will have to continue and possibly pay a fee, as the "More" link takes you to Intelius, a paid search provider.

      Click "More" under the list of email addresses. A page will come up with a much longer list of names, with most of the email address blocked out, but a city and state location for each. If you see the city and state for the person you're looking for it is probably worth it to purchase the search results.

      Send an email to the address you believe to be the one you are looking for. Ultimately, there is no other way to be completely sure you've found the right person.

Tips & Warnings

  • Be careful when purchasing information through Intelius. While they have one-time prices, some of the deals will sign you up for auto-renewal.
