Each mailbox on the Internet has its own address. Without it, it would simply be impossible to use mail. That is, if a person sends and receives letters over the Internet, it means he has an address.
Each box has its own name - one and only. You cannot change it, you can only register a new mailbox with a new name.
It's like, for example, a number mobile phone. The one that was already appointed is the one that exists. You cannot change it, you can only get a new one.
Address email may consist only of English letters, numbers and some symbols (dot, hyphen, underscore). No Russian letters!
It also includes the @ symbol (read as “dog”). On a computer keyboard, this symbol is located where the number 2 key is. To type it, you need to switch the keyboard to English language, press the Shift key and, without releasing it, press the key with the number 2.
Let's summarize:
Email address- this is the unique name of the box on the Internet. It must include the @ symbol. The address is assigned when registering mail.
It turns out the following. When we created our mail on the Internet, we were assigned an address for it. Now letters are coming to him.
What is my address
Let's start with how email addresses are formed. When a person wants to start his own on the Internet personal mail, it goes to some mail site (Yandex, Gmail, Mail, Rambler or another).
Then he goes through registration. This is something like a form that needs to be filled out - without it, mail will not be given. So in this very questionnaire there is a login and password field. As we discussed earlier, a login is a name in the mail system, and a password is the key with which this name will be opened.
This very login is the key part in the name of your mailbox.
It is immediately followed by the @ icon. And after it comes the name of the email site where you created your mailbox.
For example, I registered my mail on Yandex. The login is what I will use to open it, so I remembered it and even wrote it down. I have it like this: samopalis
So my mailbox address is: samopalis + @ + yandex.ru
There should not be a plus sign or even a space in the name. So my email address is: [email protected]
This is the very address I must tell or write to a person in order to receive a letter from him.
Nuances
Let me remind you again: every email address on the Internet is unique.
There cannot be a second address like this!
But there are some features in mail systems, which often cause confusion. This is what I want to talk about in more detail.
Yandex.Mail
When you create a name for yourself in this system, you are given a unique login plus the @yandex.ru part
But that's not all. In addition to each login, the following “increment” is given: @ya.ru, @yandex.com, @yandex.by, @yandex.ua, @yandex.kz
That is, you can give someone your address in any of these formats, and if the person writes a letter to it, then it will go straight to your mail without any problems.
Thus, if I have an address [email protected], I can easily write on a business card [email protected] or any other option - the letter will still come to me.
But that's not all! You can also use your mobile phone number as a login. Naturally, with the prefix @yandex.ru or any other (@ya.ru, @yandex.com, etc.). You can find out more about this by following the link.
Mail.ru
When you receive a mailbox on the mail.ru website, you are asked to choose a name for it with any of the endings: @mail.ru, @list.ru, @bk.ru, @inbox.ru.
But this does not mean that you can use all of them. On the contrary, the name will only work with one prefix specified during registration.
This means that if you have registered your ivan login with the prefix @bk.ru, then you will be able to log into your mail only with this ending and no other. With standard @mail.ru mail simply will not open.
Moreover, if someone sends you a letter NOT to an address [email protected], and to the address [email protected], You won't get it. In the best case, the letter will not be sent anywhere, and in the worst case it will go to another person who has exactly the same login, but with a different prefix.
For example, when registering an email, I wanted to choose a name for myself [email protected], but it turned out that it was already occupied. I had to choose with a different console. If suddenly someone wants to write me a letter to the address [email protected], then it will come not to me, but to another person.
Rambler.ru
The situation is the same as with mail.ru. You can create an address with the following prefixes: @rambler.ru, @lenta.ru, @autorambler.ru, @myrambler.ru, @ro.ru
Having received a mailbox with the prefix @ro.ru, it is impossible to log into the mail with the same login, but under @rambler.ru. And letters sent to such an address will also not reach you.
Where is my email address written?
You can find your email address right inside the mailbox. By the way, it is also automatically inserted into every letter you send.
In Yandex.Mail, you can find out your email address by looking in the upper right corner of the mailbox:
In mail on Mail.ru it is also written at the top right:
In your Gmail inbox, you need to click on the circle with a person (or your icon/photo) in the upper right corner. A window will appear where the address will be written:
In mail on Rambler, the address will appear if you click on the name at the top right.
If you have a person’s email/nickname and a little free time, you can find his accounts on all social networks and learn a lot about him.
We tested all the sites from the article on our author Roman Yuryev and his accounts.
1. Pipl.com
This site can search for a person’s accounts on different services by name, email address or phone number. It supports Gravatar, Linkedin, Disqus, YouTube, Last.fm, Github, Twitter, Imgur, Kongregate, Hubpages, Slideshare, Pinterest.
And this service checks whether accounts with a certain name are occupied on different sites. Unlike pipl.com, it also searches for accounts on Foursquare, YouTube, Delicious, Imgur and WordPress. But, unfortunately, it does not provide direct links to profiles.
3. EmailSherlock
4. PeekYou
Here you need to enter not an email, but a nickname (and postal addresses often contain it). The first of four sites that provided links to Roman's Instagram and Facebook.
5.PoiskMail.com
This site does not search for anything, but simply automatically generates links to pages on different social networks with a person’s nickname. It will be faster to use than to type these links manually.
6. Lullar.com
Another link generator. Its list of services is much longer than the previous one and many of them are completely unknown in Russia. But it's worth trying your luck.
7. Search on Facebook
And in conclusion, I would like to remind you about the easiest way to find information about a person by email: just type it into the search on Facebook. Often this is enough.
The services from the article do the same thing - they search for profiles in social networks. But everyone’s search locations are different. To achieve maximum results, it is better to use them all together.
Other articles on the topic of collecting information about people on the Internet.
Yes, when you need to remember something, especially urgently, you feel the tension in every convolution of your head. Consciousness frantically wanders through the neurons of the hemispheres in search of the right answer. But it must definitely be in these very neurons, it’s just hiding, probably, in some secluded corner of memory.
And if you’re lucky, the research doesn’t last long: “Oh, that’s how it is!” Oh, how could I forget! And if not... the outcomes may already be different. For example, like those of Chekhov’s heroes who guessed the “horse” name... Hmmm, only chance helped them.
But in our case, dear reader, in order to find out a forgotten email address, we can strain not only our own head, but also our computer, resources global networks. It is very possible that they will be able to show us the e-mail (oh, what is the address of this e-mail?!).
So, let the secret become clear. Still, let's try to find the address that was lost in memory.
1. Contact your friends, acquaintances, colleagues, in general, all those people with whom you corresponded via e-mail with a request to see messages from you in their email profiles. In the letters, in the “From” line, there will be your email login, that is, the sender’s address.
2. If you used a lost e-mail to register on social networks, websites and forums, open yours there account(log in) and go to the personal data panel. As a rule, the address of the specified mailbox is displayed in the panel.
An example of how to do this on ok.ru:
Change settings (link under the avatar) → “Basic” tab → “Email address” line. mail" (this is where you can find what’s missing! - mailbox login)
3. Try to find out from search engines what your email address is. Enter your first and last name in search bar. Perhaps an indexed page with this same e-mail on the social network or online service that you used will appear in the search results.
4. If you have the “Autofill” option enabled in your browser, place the cursor in the login field (in the authorization panel of the mail service). There is a chance that the address will appear in the tooltip (drop-down list of snippets).
5. Open the “Save Passwords” setting in your browser. If it is enabled and the cache has not been cleared, the mail login will be displayed in the list of saved credentials.
Example for Google Chrome:
Settings → Passwords and forms → Offer to save passwords... → Edit (link in the same line)

E-mail – electronic mail, which is also often called “soap”. Today, everything is tied to “soap” - work, exchange of contact information, photo and video files, etc. Today, you have to indicate your mailbox address wherever you need to register, so it’s important to know your email address and find out it if necessary, and how to do this will be described in this article.
How can I find out what my email address is?
It must be said that most of the mail services provided today are components of a set of options that are endowed with search engines. Today is the opportunity to register your email provided by such search giants as Yandex, Rambler, Google and Mail.ru. When compiling the address of your mailbox, all these search engines suggest using the same formula: login + @ + address of the mail service you are using. It turns out that if the selected login is OksanaIvanova, then the mailbox address will look like [email protected] or [email protected] depending on the postal service.
Those who are interested in how to find out their email address if they have forgotten it are recommended to look at the page of the selected email resource. For example, those who want to know how to find out an email address in Yandex are advised to simply open the Yandex.ru tab and look at the upper right corner. In the very top line your login is indicated; by clicking on it, you can find out the full address of your mailbox. Those who ask how to find out the email address in mail should do the same. By typing in address bar Mail.ru browser, you can go to the resource page and see the full address of your mailbox in the upper right corner.
How to find out an email address from a phone number?
First, go to the page of the mail service where the mailbox was registered. Click “need help” and select “I don’t remember my username.” The system will offer to restore via an additional mailbox or phone; you must confirm the latter. Having indicated your number, first and last name, select a delivery method, for example, SMS.

After checking the code, the system will display the postal address to which the link was made phone number. This is how you can restore your mailbox address.
You can call for help on sites that a person uses often or one of the last ones he visited and left his mailbox address.

Alternatively, you can contact one of your friends or colleagues with whom you previously corresponded by mail and ask them to remind you of your mailbox address.

ask to resolve the situation. As a rule, there are no problems with this.
Well, if the old mail does not contain anything important, then you don’t have to waste time restoring the previously used login. You can simply get a new box and use it to your health, and to prevent such problems in the future, write the address on a sticker and attach it in the most visible place, for example, on the monitor. It will be more difficult to restore forgotten password, That's why this information It’s also worth always having on hand, especially for active network users who register on many resources.
Fizkult - hello to the readers and subscribers of our blog! Today I will share three in simple ways, which you can use to find out the name of the owner of the email address. What is this for? I started looking for these methods to increase the “open rate” of e-mail newsletters through personalization (specifically, adding a name).
Effectiveness of the method. I tested a combination of these three methods on two small databases:
Base No. 1 – Subscribers of our client (online store). We were able to identify 107 of 119 (89.9%) names from their email address.
Base No. 2 – Subscribers to our blog (blog.etaktika.ru). We managed to find out 105 out of 131 (80.2%) names of email owners (the database is specific, a large proportion of “corporate” emails).
The results are encouraging. Previously, we knew the names of 3-5% of users. Now – more than 80%.
Method number 1. "My [email protected]"
- We go to the search in the “My World” service using the link
- We search for and receive account data with first and last name.
Notes: almost all mails are located @mail.ru, @inbox.ru, @list.ru, @bk.ru. Sometimes there are others - @rambler, @yandex.ru, etc. It works great on “simple” databases – where there is no “overly sophisticated” audience and geeks.
Method number 2. Google Contacts
- We go to the service " Google Contacts» via a link from your account in the service;
- Enter your email address into the search;
- We get the first and last name of the owner of this mail.
