How to Find Hotmail Address of a Person for Free
Hotmail is a free, Web-based email system part of the Windows Live group, commonly used due to its quick, reliable and easy-to-use interface. There is a social networking element to the Windows Live site called Spaces that allows you to link up to other users and find their Hotmail address. As long as you are a Windows Live member, you can browse this directory and add people and their email address to your Hotmail contact list.

Click on the names to view their Spaces profile. It helps if you know more about a person than their name--such as where they live or what they do for a living--so you can distinguish the right person you're looking for as not all members have a photograph on their profile.
