You Get E-Mail

But do you know if it's real or is it a fake or scam email? I get a lot of email, I guess it goes with the territory. Much of it is fake, scams and other assorted junk. So how do you know what is what, before you click on the included links?

One way is with online email verifiers.

Verify Email Address is an online tool to check whether an Email address is valid or not. This free email verifier let you verify if an email address is valid, properly formatted and really exists.

This tool actually connects to the mail server and checks that the mailbox and username really exist or not.

What all are being checked?

  • Format: “address@domain.xxx”
  • Valid domain: “johndoe@new.york” is not valid
  • Valid user: Verify that the user and mailbox really exist

Although its a useful tool, it may not give 100% results all the time.
